To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

-----------------------

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

------------------------

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'

-------------------

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

-----------------

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

----------------------

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

----------------------

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

--------------------

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

-------------------

8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

-------------------

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

---------------------

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

---------------------

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

---------------------

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

--------------------

13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

-----------------

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

---------------

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!

Dear Da Queen,

Stop using your 1970's photos you old Hag. Sorry for the confusion, probably due to your inaccurate recollection of history but you cannot "revoke" what you did not bestow, you see unlike your colonies in Canada and Australia and elsewhere we didn't wait for independence, we took it, kicking the royal a$$es of your red coated girlie-men in the process. Go save up some money and we might sell you some swamp land in Florida if you can stand all that sunshine.

The last "monarch" who tried this went out of his frickin' mind after the butt whooping his armies took. You do not wish to share his fate. Most of the Americans I know would make sure that the next 'monarch' doesn't last through the coronation.

1. "Colour", "flavour", "labour"? Are you nuts? the only reason we left the "U" in the number "four" was to distinguish it from the conjunction/ preposition. It's our language, now and if you insist (for a small application fee) we will consider calling the language "American" to help with your confusion.

2. See #1

3. 4th of July will now be celebrated for an entire week with vivid re-enactments of your General Cornwallace surrendering his sword through a proxy because he was hightailing it to India to fight guys with sticks.

4. We need the therapists because of the lawyers and we need the lawyers because of the guns.....oh never mind...it's too complicated and you'll never "get it".

5. Who's gonna take our guns away? Bwaaahahahaaa! The "Prince"? Bonnie Prince Charley?? Bwaahahahahaa!!!

6. Okay but only in New Jersey, they're crazy anyway.

7. We like our gasoline (not 'petrol', we don't allow 'petrol') like we like our milk...CHEAP and crude oil will continue to be traded in U.S. Dollars forever! Get used to it.

8. You mean home fries, dinner fries or krinkle cut fries? What the heck er yew talkin' 'bout Lady?

9. One word: Yeungling! Keep in mind, beer is served cold, urine is served warm...yes, feel free to take offense.

10. Oh right. Didi you ever pay attention to the natives in the Johnny Weisemueller "Tarzan" movies? They were dirty White Guys with afro wigs and the vast majority of the Indians in Cowboy movies of that era had never even seen a real Indian. Go find one of those People and cry on their shoulders or better yet, in your beer until it turns warm and nasty. You'll like that.

11. When you Guys start running at each other from opposing positions along a battle line at full force we'll consider playing one of your cute little graba$$ games. Until then, don't come on our FOOTBALL field without your protective gear of you'll be missing tea.

12. The Center of the Civilized Universe is the ONLY reasonable place to hold a World Series.

13. The Mafia

14. He won't be coming back (see #13)

15. We call that "Happy Hour" and it sure as hell ain't got Jack ish to do with tea. "Cookies", "cakes", "strawberries & cream"???? Hot Wings ya pansies. Speaking of pansies, does the queen prefer bikini or thong?
