i was hoping someone would put in a good word for our eponymously <br/>
favorite isles of scilly<br/>
despite their lack of any noticeable boundary point<br/>
but couldnt have imagined how silly that word would be<br/>
<br/>

&gt; What is that with the British and war???<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; This was news on<br/>
&gt; April 17, 1986<br/>
&gt; &quot;The Isles of Scilly and the Netherlands signed a peace treaty that <br/>
ended a<br/>
&gt; war that started in 1651. Although hostilities had ceased in the <br/>
17th<br/>
&gt; century, the war had never been officially ended. The Isles of <br/>
Scilly are a<br/>
&gt; British archipelago with about 100 small islands located southwest <br/>
of Great<br/>
&gt; Britain.&quot;<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; But then again, maybe the Dutch are bad peacekeepers.<br/>

&gt; &gt; My understanding of the Crimean war episode is less<br/>
&gt; &gt; exciting. From what I can remember at the time war was<br/>
&gt; &gt; declared it was customary to refer to Berwick upon<br/>
&gt; &gt; Tweed separatly from both England and Scotland, but,<br/>
&gt; &gt; during the war, it formally became part of England by<br/>
&gt; &gt; Act of Parliament, therefore it was included in the<br/>
&gt; &gt; peace treaty as part of England. </span></blockquote></div>
