Default The last time the Poms won the Ashes

The last time the Poms won the Ashes was so long ago, Ronald Reagan was President, Michael Jackson was black ,The Berlin wall divided Europe Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden were America's allies in the war against Communism, Mobile phones were about the size and weight of a brick and only a few people owned them, the internet was science fiction.

Yer ok it's about the only thing the English do in the world cup is qualify,i mean football is not played in Australia as much as in the UK so you would not expect Australia to qualify,maybe when they have been playing as long as the English they will be able to and then lets see what happens,love to see how a English team would do at aussie rules football
