Am I allowed to ask if the typed background to this image is significant?

Nothing in the image is decoration.

OK I have no idea why and I'm probably way off base here but the journey of the Pilgrim Fathers came to mind...

That's actually an amusing question in the context.
One may perhaps say that the Pilgrim Fathers got the whole thing going, but historically they were much earlier in time.

Hmmmm! I'm going to have to let my sub-conscious get to work on this when I'm sleeping. Perhaps by the time I come back in the morning someone will have beaten me to the answer. You sure know how to set a puzzle Rita...lol.

Big Hint: it's a quotation. I'm sure you have heard it used and maybe used it yourself.

The United Kingdom and America are two countries separated by the same language! IF this is correct.....the credit goes to Google! |

Close enough to accept as correct, Helen.
It is usually quoted as 'Two countries separated by a common language' and attributed originally to George B. Shaw. It was used by others including Churchill.

I humbly accept this crown with thanks to my mother, my teachers, my friends, my acquaintances, the usual man in the street, and you, Helen.
Weirdly enough, my Forum standing also went up at my previous post
