Political Humor from our UK cousins...

Hmm, perhaps the Brits will sell us the state of New York and it's contents back for a nice price. We will then revert to:

-Calling Wall Street 'Walstraat' again (and turn it into a nice shopping street again).

-Renaming Harlem to Haarlem, as it was originally called, after the Dutch town with the same name.

-Remind the Roosevelts that they are Dutch and collect taxes due to us.

-Giving back Hoboken to the Belgians, as it was named after the township Hoboken in Antwerpen, Belgium, after all.

-And finally, call that town 'Nieuw Amsterdam' again, with it's share of coffee shops and window entertainment that it's mother town also has...
