Happy Independence Day to our American readers! Today, cities across the US will blow up around $130 million worth of fireworks, celebrating freedom from British rule.

Ironic, considering Britain is now one of America's most important allies and our 6th largest trading partner...

So this 4th, light some roman candles and pinwheels, eat BBQ, and kiss a Brit for luck. Happy 4th!

Do you have holiday plans?
