So, today I went down to the market to buy some sugar I was going to use in a cake I was baking for my grandmother. Then, Joe, the shopkeeper, said that I had to pay an extra tax on sugar. He told me it's that way because Britain needs to pay for the French-Indian war. I mean, honestly, Great Britain thinks they can tax ME, when I have no say in their government? Who do they think they are?
Oh well... I'm gonna have to get back to work at the docks soon.
