The next time you run into a Briton who won't stop talking about how great England used to be, blame Exeter University. Researchers at the school are claiming that musing over old times boosts brainpower. Just reminiscing for a half hour each day, they say, can greatly improve your memory recall because you're accessing parts of the brain that otherwise lay dormant.
Yeah, whatever. All you Britons are just looking for any excuse justify your longing to recover that horrid evil empire. We didn't think you'd stoop so low as to fake a study, but we can't say that's we're the least bit surprised. We hate to break it to you, but the world will not let you get away with pillaging, slave trading, and genocide again. You had your share of those things, now it's time to stop dreaming about them and get back to work!
