Any thoughts please!!

Oh my God Giles, your level of ignorance astounds me, history has never been my strong subject but even I know some of the background that answers your question.
The indigenous peoples of the USA are the American Indians as has already been stated but after we colonised the US, there has been an unending flow of different peoples into that country.
The Africans, Irish, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and so on to name but a few.
The predominant peoples are what are termed as Wasps (White Anglo Saxon Protestants) and I think this is maybe where you are getting confused; these are not uniquely English but European.
True, the average white American has an English sounding name but this does not mean all Americans are descended from the English, far from it in fact.
The US is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country, more so than anywhere else in the world so you cannot define the peoples of the US in terms of just one derivative nationality.

You people are being robbed! The going rate over at my end of the Atlantic/English Channel used to be 50 guilders, which equals 23 Euros, or 20 Dollars, or about 15.5 Pounds!!!

For the love of God man! Don't do it!

This board just wouldn't be the same without the occasional trade marked 'Robbo hissy fit'.

I dont think he will manage it for long Buddha, even though he has done himself proud with the Cigs

One day long ago in a pub ...

Brittan walks up to America and says, "Do you have an British in you?"
"No." Replyed America.
"Would you like some?"

Very Good Micah try this

A guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the
alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons. "I'll make
you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside.
Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his
mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this
spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink." The crowd murmured their
approval.
The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates
in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd
gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the
alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth and the
man removed his genitals unscathed as promised.
The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks were delivered.
The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's
willing to give it a try."
A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of
the bar. A blonde timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not
to hit me on the head with the beer bottle."
