You immediately know what the letters BHV stand for >_>
I know where my vote goes to next elections! (No, not Vlaams Belang, they're fools)

The reason why the UK doesn't really feel connected to Europe is probably because if you look at the history of the UK they've always made sure not a single state would get too powerful on the European continent. A really tiresome job if you ask me!

lol we didnt want any1 else to get too powerful but i was ok for the british empire to become the most powerful empire ever!!

No one could stop them :P

After the English defeated the Armada 'invencible' in 1588 they pretty much dominated the seas.
