Ha, you're right, and our countries are of course more closely linked than maybe I realize. Hope it didn't sound like I was diminishing your struggles. Cheers and best wishes!

You had a point because although incredibly similar, there are differences. I should have said I was speaking relatively.

Returning to this a week later, and - gotta say - the Lemmiverse? (idk what we're calling it lol) has really won me over, for little convos like this. Been here about a year and change, and it mostly just keeps getting better. People can disagree with one another, realize they agree more than they thought (or that they don't), and we all get better for it. Seen it again and again, and I like it.

i think in a lot of ways our legacy as a british colony has never really eroded. our countries have been consistently aligned for a long time for better and for mostly worse for both countries
