I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

You are wrong. The British have a much better claim on the islands due to 1) everyone on the islands (the people who should determine the fate of the islands) want the islands to remain British 2) Possession is 9/10ths of the law and the British have had the islands for 174 years.Originally posted by Barnabas
So it is not as if they have a worse claim than the english,
