    I can’t seem to find it, but this reminds me of a greentext that’s stuck with me for years. The gist of it is that most of British history can be summed up as sailing around the world looking for something good to eat.

        That’s not the one I was thinking of, but I’m happy that you posted it as it’s pretty great.

          Are you sure it’s a greentext and not this old saying “The beauty of their women and the taste of their food make brits the best sailors in the world.”.

            It definitely parallels that saying but I’m almost positive it was a greentext. Though, given that I can’t find it, I suppose I could be mistaken.
