You can understand why the Argentine people find it hard to accept when the area is about 8000miles from the UK. "Might is right" and all that.
Tesco. Cos they had no Marmite crisps left.
You are aware that the British were there 5 years before the Spanish (Argentinians). The French have more claim as they arrived before us (1 year). Previously it was uninhabited and unclaimed.
No. It was way before my time.
