If he'd stopped at the Russian border and decided to consolidate a continental European Union and eventually made peace with Britain, he coulda been a contendah for George Washington of Europe instead of a megalomaniacal bum, which is what he was, let's face it.

George Washington believed in things like 'elections' though

Edit: ill concede he would have won if he had battleships though. Even predreadnoughts.

Husband made a christmas pudding this year. Candied oranges, suet, the whole shebang. They use so...much...brandy. Like, we kept running out.

This is also why fruitcake in general and Christmas cake in specific (fancy iced and marzipan'd fruitcake) is popular in the UK, but fruitcake is a joke in the US. It works because it is soaked in rum/brandy/whisky for, like, weeks. Prohibition ruined you lot. Same reason (hard) cider basically died out until recently in America too.
