Half the time 'England' is treated as synonymous with 'the UK' and then, when it was 'England and Wales' we get 'the British.' <br />argghhh. 'Britain' as a political expression in 1297 seems a stretch. <br />From the history professor from Boston....<br />...from the History Professor who has so much to say about military history. And at the same time, when comments about bleeding an occupying power white, no reference to Vietnam or a couple of other places which might leap to the front of ones mind before say, 1297 and the Battle of Stirling Bridge. <br />Oh, I am not trying to antagonise or provoke anyone from Scotland with this comment. Merely the silliness of an example from a professor in a TV show about an alien invasion who has to sidestep several centuries to find an example suitable for a North American TV audience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454434077347648648.post-38258569882975370932011-06-28T09:07:19.712-07:002011-06-28T09:07:19.712-07:00This series is terrible and even a person like mys...This series is terrible and even a person like myself who's English could work out that it was actually filmed in Canada, because the dates on the war memorial they were standing in front of were 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.<br /><br />Pathetic.Leehttp://peakwalking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454434077347648648.post-5084200149801313302011-06-23T03:56:38.909-07:002011-06-23T03:56:38.909-07:00I'm off to night school.
