What the hell did you do to turn them into Shakers and Quakers?

We had a Civil War. They won, and we were overrun with weird religious groups. We got fed up with them and restored the Monarchy.

They were irritated that we didn't appreciate them and fled to America.

One of my real life ancestors helped. He was a Church of England minister. He wrote a book encouraging emigration to the Americas.

There were a few problems with his book, which was so popular that it ran to several editions very quickly:

1. He had never been to the Americas
2. As far as is known, he had never met anyone who had.
3. He gave a list of essentials for emigrants. Top of the list was The Bible. Second was his book.
4. In an appendix he suggested that 'all the rogues and vagabonds of England should be sent to the Americas'. This was long BEFORE transportation of convicts. His idea was that because the colonies would be composed of nothing BUT rogues and vagabonds, they would have to become honest because there would be no one to prey on but themselves. He forget the Native Americans, didn't he?

My family come from the land of ogg. Well, half of them.

The other half is from Kansas.

Which land of ogg?

My paternal base was the City of London, and had been since the 14th Century until 1915 when one of the Kaiser's Zeppelins destroyed the family home nad made my father and his family homeless.

My maternal ancestors were much more diverse. Some of them came from rural East Anglia, some from East London, and before the 17th Century both sets had ancestors from France, Spain and Italy.

But ogg was born in Wales, but at times has been an officially permitted resident of Gibraltar and Australia.

You sent the religiously persecuted here and we're still plagued by the culture.

No that is wrong. The Puritans who settled first in the American colonies went there because they thought the Church in England was way too tolerant. As soon as they got there they started persecuting each other, leading for example, to the establishment of Rhode Island.

One or two more facts. After 1720 Britain sent about 60,000 prisoners to America to serve their sentences; not having that option after 1788, they sent 65,000 prisoners to OZ.

Today about 27% of all Australians were born overseas. Since 1988 there has been an influx of about 700,000 Chinese - this has been the biggest recent change.

Australia is the only country in the world that regularly eats the animals on its coat of arms, the 'roo and the emu. Roo tastes good and all the big supermarkets stock it. Emu is like dried leather.

Australia's second most dangerous animal is the honey bee which kills more people than croc's, sharks, snakes and spiders put together. Sharks and croc's tend to eat aboriginals and tourists, neither of which really count in the Australian mind.

By contrast, the second most dangerous animal in Britain is the kitty cat.

The weird thing is that wherever Australian troops have fought, many people from those countries like Australians so much, they want to become Australian.

Turkey and Gallipoli - check
France and Western Front - check for Germans, not for French
Sicily and Italy WW2 - check

That might be because we really are awesome.
:D
 
Aussies are awesome! And so hot too...As evidenced by Dee above!
 
Just thought I'd bring up the Great Emu War.

They lost.

Good job Australia.
