Quite possibly, like I said its a bit of fun, but the possibility is
still 
there ;)

The media did give that impression, but I thought they'd over stated it.
I have had my go at this one, but all I was trying to say is that
history 
is an unpredictable thing (my history past 1 AD is shakey, but I'd
reckon 
that anyone 200 odd yrs back foretelling a British Empire restricted to
the 
UK and a handful of small islands dotted around the world would have
been 
written off) and accounting is always skewed so given what we have got
if 
you're willing to throw in a bit of imagination (and a hell of a lot of 
tongue in cheek on occasion) you can twist it to regions you find more 
palatable ;)
Cheers
