Who had the best Empire?

[alwaysblue]

I'd do a poll but I'm convinced I'd make a complete @JimmyJeffers of it.

So who do we think...

British?

Persian?

Roman?

US Empire?

Please give your reasons and freely admit any biases.

Shouldn't this be in the Alan Partridge thread.

No other empire can possibly beat the Empire catalogue. The lingerie pages were the highlight of many a teenage boys youth before the Internet was invented.

Roman. All of European history since has been devoted to trying to bring it back in one form or another.

The one on Lime Street is defo the worst.

Took the kids to see Winnie The Pooh there, show was crap, staff were rude and unhelpful, service was abysmal and you could smell the toilets from anywhere within 100 metres.


Flatten it and build a Tesco ffs
