The sun never sets........

[Steve]

As an Englishman, I think that I should be able to get away with posting this one..........

There used to be an old saying, back in the day when a great percentage of the globe made up the British Empire, that "the sun never sets on the British Empire"........know why?



Wait for it..........



Because even the Almighty wouldn't trust those blighters in the dark.....................

Why the sun never sets: Colonies all over the world allowed the sun to always shine on a part of the british empire!

For some reason, I'm thinking of the Jimmy Buffet song:

Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane
Before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's 5 O'clock somewhere
