That looks like it might be tower bridge in London in the background.

Good spot John, you are absolutely right. The flash new building on the right is the London Assembly Building where the local pols decide how to waste our taxes.

Now I have to admit that I have never been there. The closest I have ever gotten to London was New Castle Upon Tyne, or maybe Paris.

I think Paris is nearer, but I haven't actually checked.

That would be bated breath, right? OTOH there's no special Google logo today.

1743/06/27 George II becomes the last British monarch to lead his army in battle, defeating the French at the Battle of Dettingen.

And just for John...as immortalised in "The Skye Boat Song"...

1746/06/27 Flora MacDonald helps Bonnie Prince Charlie escape to the Isle of Skye dressed as an Irish maid following his defeat at the Battle of Culloden.

No doubt they did. However, I picked up all the water that had been left for them and used it to wash down my driveway.

I thought that the aliens used sodium as the metal for the skin of the ships as they come from a waterless world. Giving the aliens ship a bath might not be the best idea.

Dehydration is good for the soul.

@John
Coyote Canyon is a known route NE of San Diego where illegals go attempting to elude detection. The water is left by humanitarians.

Mel Gibson would use water to defeat the aliens.
