Possession is not nine tenths of the law...

Why are their inscriptions in Attic Greek then?

Duh, people generally fuss when you steal things from them

They're about as British as a kimono or a tomato

I'm sure you're not different in that regard

@BlueGreenGrey I. Agree we could loan them to Greece for a few million pounds a week as long as they dont try to keep them

@Jimbo7 [i]Loan[/i]? You totally missed the point. They don't belong to the UK in the first place, they were [i]looted[/i], Greece would be well within their rights to [i]keep[/i] them!
