US Audio Feature: Explaining Independence Day to the Brits --- Scott Lucas with the BBC


             

 DateThursday, July 5, 2012 at 6:09 | AuthorScott Lucas in ,

EA staff, or at least the Americans among them, enjoyed Independence Day on Wednesday; however, there was still a bit of work to be done. 

It appears that our British friends are still trying to repress the memory that the US made a successful break-away in 1776. (Or is it that they do not want to reveal the secret that they were happy to get rid of the American colonists?)

I had a light-hearted chat with BBC West Midlands about the American Revolution, the sequels (you know, the British burning down the White House in 1814), and today --- will President Obama be celebrating the next 4th of July in office?

The interview starts at the 1:26.20 mark.
