I once worked with a woman who assured me that the Chinese attacked Pearl Harbour

[Ithoriel]

Well that can't be right flamingpig0 because I was assured a couple of days ago, by an American woman, that the Russians attacked American ships at Pearl Harbour and that's what started the Cold War. She was also adamant that, as an American she should know more about American history than some "arrogant, know-all, Brit!"  I agreed she should and left her to it.

Well, they claim to have done and/or invented everything else first, so why not this?

But, to be fair, I've been similarly assured by a Limey that as a Brit he had to know better than I when he maintained the Wars of the Roses were fought between Yorkshire and Lancashire.

I was told the same by a Yorkshireman

[Ithoriel]

To be fair, the Wars of the Roses were fought by the Houses of York and Lancaster, rather than Yorkshire and Lancashire.

The Welsh, the garrison of Calais, the European mercenaries, to mention but a few, might have baulked at being described as Yorkshiremen or Lancashire folk!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Would either the Lancs or Youkies have wanted the Welsh ?
