Has been

More from Busted Tees. This time a pun. And a harsh one at that. Butchaknow, there is that old saying: "The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire", meaning, of course, that Her Majesty's holdings are so vast that it is always daytime in at least some corner of the British Empire. Might it still, somehow, be true? After all, Britain still lays claim to a wide scattering of islands and bits all across the planet. The biggest gap in daylight would be between Pitcairn Island and the British Indian Ocean Territories (but then again those are claimed by other nations). Maybe Old Britannia has merely lost (a lot) of weight.
