Hating the French is a universal right, denied to everyone but the English.
Fixed your mistake. The English have fought everyone. So we have dibs. You have Russia or China.

No there are 22 countries we've not fought with including Vatican City (though Henry the VIII did end up fighting the Catholic Church so not sure if that counts or not)... see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/9653 ... bourg.html for the full list.

I'd add one of the Jack the Ripper Walks through the East End as worth doing one evening....

It's been almost 20 years since I last visited London. The Imperial War Museum was great as was Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, and several things we visited as day trips like Bath, Windsor Castle, Leeds Castle, Dover Castle, and Duxford.

I lived in Regent's Park when I was there.

Well, I lived on campus at Regent's College, which is in Regent's Park.

Whose side are you on ?
Don't make me go all John Prescott on your posterior.

Besides some of those countries used to be part of others (France or Spain for example) so we have fought them.
