[QUOTE="St George, post: 652716, member: 69634"] Although i agree with the [I]"empire baggage[/I]" comment, it shows the ignorance of many in that the [I]Empire [/I]was in fact British, which also included the Welsh, Scots & Irish. As far as i know England and the Boers never had a war, and to be even more pedantic, as far as i know the British didnt have a war with Kiwis or Aussies either unless you count the Maoris. So IMO any such comments linking any animosity to England due to Empire are BS. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
