    point out Wales on a map of the UK.
    I grew up in Hong Kong and did not leave until I was 18 years old. It was a British colony then that provided me a stable environment to receive a good western education including the concept of democracy. Don't get me wrong, there was no democracy in Hong Kong, no election, no representation. But the Brit were efficient administrator that ran a clean colonial government. Hong Kong was the first of the 4 economic little tigers in Southeast Asia. But the British made a big mistake in returning Hong Kong to China in 1997 without any concrete assurance of maintaining human right in Hong Kong. It is all history now. In my view, the Brit are good guys.

    BTW, I have good ideas of the history and geography of UK.

      In many ways China has tried to erase that HK was ever a colony.

        I’ve had my geographical grumble. But it does make me wonder about what they teach you? And you would not have got independence with out the help of the French ​​​​​​ .

        Lets get this back on track, and hopefully there will be an excellent build thread.

              Couldn't leave it alone, could you?
              The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

                Nope, tired of it. Even with an emoji it's not called for.

                  Not america hate. If you mix peoples countries up they get upset. I don’t want to be called English, I'm a Scot. I presume you would be offended if I called you Mexican, because you are on the same land mass as Mexico. If your education system doesn’t teach you these things, then it must be quite poor.

                  Now hopefully we can follow this build?

                    Maybe it's the person and not the education system. There is no reason for any hate either way or from either side. My opinion is that when he used England it was not on purpose, unlike your on purpose dig at "america". And just like the UK or Great Britain is multiple countries America can be interpreted as two continents and multiple countries.

                    America with a capital A. You have it lower case in multiple places but have no problems using a capital E, W and S and even M. Notice I'm not blaming your education system.

                    Rereading his post I think it was a simple mistake.

                    Now maybe we can go back to tanks?
