I found this a while back when trying to explain some British stuff. Its actually a primary school, but I think they did a great job of the basics

While *Tim Berners-Lee* is British by birth, he was working in Geneva at the time of the intention of the WWW and now lives in Boston. I think they would have done better to stick with writers and tack JK Rowling onto the list.

Anyway, I found it really useful many times, and I think they did a great job.

I think the teacher did put them up to the "richest football club in the world" bit. Must be a Chelsea supporter.

Try not to make an arguement when there is none to be made so you don't embarass yourself too much. I would consider seeing a doctor about those hormones if I were you.
