True but we cheated. There were three Picts and only one legion of Romans. And
that was the start of the end for them. It was after that that the Romans built
their walls across the country. 
It is at this point we normally point out that along with America we have never
been conquered by another country. Which is more than can be said for our
neighbours {By the Romans, Danes, Germans (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, and
Franks) French (Normans)}
