Well there is always the British Virgin Islands (can't be many), Bermuda, Anguila, Montserrat or Turks and Caicos Islands...
Full of ghastly nouveau riche types hiding their ill-gotten gains. No, it just won't wash, I'm afraid.

Indeed, it has been a while.
So nowadays it's just like with hounds then.

True, sadly. I blame Vietnam.

Or as Tony Benn (PBUH) used to say, "better a bad parliament than a good king". #thepointistochangeit
