I never want you to go.
I can't describe how mutch
our friendship means to me.
Hold my hand,
and never let go.
Let's sit down and see the sunset.
Before it get's dark and we say godbye.

Modern history
"Never have so many owed so much to so few." these worlds were spoken by Sir Winston Churchill, the British Prime minister during World War 2.

Britain today is no longer a political or military superpower. But when it comes to world business and finance, London is still one of the most important centres. In addition, the country that gave the world William Shakespear, football, the Beatels, James Bond and the BBC is still a cultural force to be reckonded with.
