Well I went and did some research ,and find Strong to be right, and not my school teacher!
I was taugh UK lost in South Africa and that's why they speak dutch (well afrikaans), you do sometimes wonder why you go to school if they are going to teach you rubbish...
Compounded by the fact if you watch Zulu & Zulu Dawn films, it quite clearly shows the British having their asses whipped!
So I always beleived the British had got a right good kicking and so left it to the Dutch... not quite so it seems, perhaps the Teacher didn't like the truth, or didn't like to be reminded about our Imperial past, who knows?
It reminds me of a QI episode when Alan Davis answered regarding people beleiving the world was flat (I was taught that at school also!), when they didn't, even Columbus thought it was pear shaped apparently.
Noway2 -> I don't get the joke?
