It's okay, I honestly don't know the exact source either. I think it originated from a twitter post.

More accurately though, we tried to get diamonds more than gold. haha. And in the true times of empire, gold became far less important a resource then cotton, tobacco and opium. These are the things that really made britain rich. Slaves too.
