You said it right there....you wouldn't want to move there now, but wouldn't mind it when you are older. I think that is why most young folks try to get away from the north, east anglia, and all those places, to come down to London ( God's own city ) where people speak properly
:D

At least when you are old and live up north, it wouldn't make a difference, because it would all sound the same to you then :) Does anyone understand Gazza, A. fergurson, scousers and brummies ? It use to take 2hrs to decipher what they were trying to say :D

Re: Brits Hate Americans???
 

Just curious, reading your first post, then later the second quote. If you have been to UK recently, why you would ask about how the British felt about the Americans, when you have already spent time there already, even if it was a holiday, so would have some form of impression of whether people took you as an individual or not.

My first impression on your first post was that you had never set foot in UK.

There is a large chance that my husband and I will be moving back to his home country (England). I am scared to death because of all the terrible things I hear and read about the hatred toward Americans.

I am very worried that if I we go there, I will be subjected to constant insults and prejudice from British people just because of where I was BORN. How is that fair? Better yet....How can that behavior even be considered as HUMAN?


I'd really like to hear from some British people as to why this is?


Quote Heather111

I sooooooo agree with you on that! I loved the area when I was in Manchester.... The pubs were the most relaxing and perfect way to unwind. Too many pubs/bars in this area (NC) are just slapped together and they all seem to look exactly alike.

I was told by my friends in the South that the North was a terrible place to visit. When I got there, I found that they were 100% wrong (in my opinion). It reminded me a lot of areas in Mass, where I grew up.

Also: I know what you're talking about with the strong accent issue.... I spent four days in Wales during January 2003 and I had to ask people to repeat themselves about three times per sentence. I felt like a total dork...lol

Could it be a case of AMNESIA perhaps?


:confused: :confused: :confused:

Hey Silvershadow how you doing?
thought you were banned?

He's been allowed back. (as others have been )


Ray

why the new name? have all his other alias's been aloud back too?

:confused:

No I suggested he use just the one name and start afresh ...

and hopefully there will be no more grief!


Ray

I received this PM from silvershadow/mikej
no more grief indeed.
:rolleyes:

Oh and for the record Ray, nowt against you lad, but I only have the one username, but am curious, when did you put me in my place?

Could that cockroach perhaps be John Kerry?
:D

I didn't say that I had.


I have tried to play fair with MickJ and others and treat everyone here as adults. So lets just move on, and let the Silvershadow subject get relegated to the back pages so to speak?

Fair enough?

Good question. While in Manchester, I didn't have many opportunities to speak to people at all. Rob and I just wanted
to spend as much time together as possible before I had to come back home. We were kind of in our own little world, knowing my time was limited.

The post about enjoying the area was true... I really did love a lot of the parks, shops, pubs etc... etc... But I was with Rob at all those places. My remarks were directed toward the actual places I had been and how they reminded me a lot of the atmosphere and structures of my hometown.

I only had chance to get into brief conversations with about four people. Such a small amount of people really doesn't give me much of an idea to go on....But if it is the norm, that would be great. :-)

Those people were very pleasant but I felt I needed a bit more feedback and example than only that....So far, I have got a lot from this site, so that's a good thing.... :-)

If it gets Bush out of the White House, Kerry is my insect....

Re: Brits Hate Americans???
 

Fair enough. There a lot of countries who dont like the Brits, and sometimes you are aware of it and sometimes not. But those who judge you on nationality alone arent worth bothering about anyway, and like anywhere you will meet great people and not so great, just dont take any of it personally. Have a blast and enjoy the adventure and good luck.

Re: Brits Hate Americans???
 

Thank you.... I'm getting more and more relaxed about the entire idea. Maybe it will work out and maybe it won't. If I don't jump into it with both feet, I'll never be able to say that I tried my best. So, in the best interest of Rob and my daughter, I am going to attempt to deal with the pending change with a positive attitude.
