PS--any more posts of that sort may result in confusion among the Brits, so post carefully. They are normally nearly unanimous in their perception we are all ill-mannered, semi-literate, arrogant and only occasionally potty-trained. Oh, hang on, that's another regular argument around here.
that's just not true.
Never met one that's potty trained
We are just jealous 'cos it costs the same to drive across both countries even though ours is tiny, mmmmmmmm massive taxation.
Nah, what happens is that normal arguments just end up with someone taking a nationalist stance....... like the gun law thing, to us it was a discussion, to the US it's more personal so you take it differrent, soon turns into a UK vs US argument. Same thing happened with the gulf.... a few posters took anything anti-war as anti-american, but it was both governments so we were in the same boat.
But deep down we are all the same, we hate the French and find this Rhino fella comical/tragic.
