cuttsie Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Many times I hear the comment . So what did the Romans do for us . The answer is always that they built magnificent roads .drains. Farms . Buildings and brought civilisation to Britain . So this has set me thinking . In years to come . Say a thousand or so will the inhabitants of these lands say the same .. What did the Eng Ish do for us . I say this due to.a shift in populations . Take a walk down town and sometimes one thinks one is in a foreign land . The speech around us can be confusing making us wonder just how far the Country has changed . So what do you think .will.future generations look back and say . Just what did the English do for us . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
