Yes it was on US BORDER PATROL or whatever it's called. The chap was an Iraqui-born Canadian!
My son Stuart, 12 was asking about did we win the last war with America earlier today. I mentioned that in 1812 we were at war with the US and we burned-down Washington DC. I seem to recall however that the US had a rather successful naval raid on us though!
I don;t think we have yet been at war with Canada...perhaps we could and get beaten and then you can take us over?
Seriously, I gather that Harold Wilson, the then Labour Government Prime Minister actually asked the US to take the UK over in 1968 as we were so broke. This was however when De Gaulle kept vetoing us joining the Common Market (later EEC) and just before we went cap in hand to the IMF to bail us out.
