No, i could grasp that you were trying to avoid saying no by giving numerous reasons why really in your opinion it should be yes to support your argument.
Utterly wrong on all counts.
What was I saying about you failing to grasp things?
Yup, but apparently the answer was too hard for you.
What was I saying about you failing to grasp things? You can't even read plain English.
Not "were they a colony" - "were they
colonial"
That question was related to one I posed earlier:
Why has every country in the world without a British colonial connection stuck to radials?
and then repeated:
Am I right in thinking that BS7671 is used in many places around the world as a standard to work to? So maybe there ARE rings installed in loads of other countries!
How many of those countries have no past colonial connection with Britain?
Note what I wrote, if you are able to, and note that I did
not talk about countries which used to be colonies, I used the term "colonial connection".
And I did so for a very good reason, the significance of which apparently goes right over your head, but I will try to explain. Countries can have significant social, economic, cultural, technical etc influences on other ones without them actually being a colony. On such example would be where a non-industrialised nation has businesses from another country set up shop in order to exploit mineral wealth. If those businesses find no existing infrastructure they are going to create their own - they are going to import electrical generating equipment and installation components, for example, and workers to design and install them, and chances are they will adopt the systems with which they are familiar from their home country.
Now read what I wrote again, and this time try to understand it.
The British residency of the Persian Gulf was an
official colonial subdivision (i.e., residency) of the British Empire from 1763 until 1971.
If necessary read it again.
If you want a simple answer it is "yes", because there was a considerable colonial connection, a considerable amount of colonial influence in the area for a long time, including the period during which electrical infrastructures would have been introduced.
Though i see your acidic tone continues BAS, what a delightful creature you are.
Well, excuse me for being extremely p*****d-off by people completely failing to read what I write and getting it completely wrong because they are either unwilling or unable to pay attention, and then arguing with me over it.
