Canada, the US, GB, NZ and Oz can become the United States of Australia.

Cricket will be compulsory...

Exactly. It's UK laws, or else no sale.

Fenway Park looks big enough to host Test cricket, so this could work.

The Queen will use the vernacular when addressing the colonies. "We'uns ain't amused". Foxworthy will have to change his redneck routine. If you have ever stood in a queue for several hours without knowing what you are queuing for, you might be British.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

If you can spell 'queueing' without electronic assistance...you might be British.

Dunno why they need to make up new words for everything. What's wrong with "standing in line", anyway? And why would you name a sport after an insect? Don't make no sense.

There's a lot more to queueing than standing in line. I wouldn't expect foreigners to understand.

And why would you take the silly game of throwball, and call it football? Especially when there is already a proper game called football.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
