The Commonwealth is an association of countries which were once part of the British Empire and are now independent states but still wishing to retain links with each other

I found this on MSNBC and thought you gals would get a laugh from it like I did! The plumbers are busy in New Delhi!!  Hopefully all of you outside the US can see it. If not, I'll reproduce the article here. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39552406/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/(edited to add) I wonder how many London will provide in 2012? ;D I wonder if they're going to fortify the sewer system??? |
