I just don't find the British empire to be impressive, that's all.

And what's the irony? I did say they ruled over a quarter of the world, didn't I?

It just sounded like you meant it in a "how much it was based on how impressive it was" instead of landmass... when it was in fact the same amount of landmass as well.

Aah, I see. Didn't mean it that way though :P
