Re: EU Referendum

The common market's great, Britain certainly benefits from that. Otherwise I can't see what we gain from handing over the keys to a democracy that took centuries to build to a 20 year old, untested...

Re: US legally allowing the abuse of children

Because none of them are based on the Westminster system? Because they were intentionally designed not to be like Parliament? Those are a couple of reasons that come to mind. Parliament may also...

Re: Lemonade in NC

You could make your own lemon syrup . . . two parts sugar to one part lemon juice, then boil. Best to use fresh lemons. Then you can combine it with sparkling water or a soda stream. Though the...

Re: US legally allowing the abuse of children

Britain has it's own problem with under-aged marriage. (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/societys-shame-the-fiveyearold-girl-forced-into-marriage-7604140.html) Note that it's not even...

Re: Where to live? Warning: contains nostalgic waffle

If you want affordable living without bad weather (excepting extreme heat) these are about the only states that will work.



Mountains.



No funnier than you, I'm sure.

Re: Look what I found at Kroger today!

:) I knew it wouldn't be a popular opinion! I always was a bit of an iconoclast though. Same mediocre chocolate, two different textures. The U.K. version has nostalgia and familiarity on its side...

Re: Look what I found at Kroger today!

Damn the consequences, I'll admit it: The Hersheys manufactured Cadbury isn't as terrible as it's made out it be. I think we're just surprised when it turns out to be a bit different from the...

Re: Have I finally insulted an American about Accents

That's true! Though not many Americans will watch those movies. I was thinking more along the lines of adverts or evil-movie-villains-with-an-English-accent.

And that's not a very serious...

Re: Have I finally insulted an American about Accents

This is an easy enough question to answer if you think about it. The English accent most Americans hear on TV and in the movies tends to be pure RP, or some similar posh accent. They might also...

Re: Not Sure if I can Deal with the American Dream much longer

I love my native land, but 'quiet, gentle, sophisticated, and slim' (England) are not the first adjectives that come to mind when I want to describe.

Re: Anyone been to Yellowstone?

The Old Faithful Inn is a bit run-down, crowded, and 'rustic', but is still magnificent. I wouldn't spend the whole trip there, but I don't think a trip (at least a first trip) to Yellowstone would...

Re: Not Sure if I can Deal with the American Dream much longer

I've often wondered what it would be like to live in a place where the people don't think 'University of Kentucky' when I say 'UK'. But the toxic levels of smug in some of these 'enlightened' areas...

Re: Not Sure if I can Deal with the American Dream much longer

Totally. I hate it when these neanderthals don't instantly understand and appreciate humour that's specific to my family and culture. I was born in a country that's produced some of the wittiest...

Re: emmigrate to orlando

Well, there is a loophole that has allowed millions to enjoy a stress-free life in the US. To take advantage of it you will need to:

1. Sell all your belongings. Then buy two cases of Scotch,...

Re: Places to eat in the Orlando area. Real american!!

Whereas Indian, Chinese, and other ethnic foods found in Britain are 100% authentic and have not been altered one bit from their original forms, due to our more discerning and sophisticated palates?

Re: North Carolina Beaches

I second Ocracoke. It is touristy, but it's a "good", old fashioned kind of touristy. The beach is on one side, the Sound on the other, which is good for fishing and kayaking. Also a lot of...

Re: The "L" plate coming to New Jersey?

But this is New Jersey. Other drivers will see the L-plate as a sign of weakness, and these poor kids will be run off the road, and their cars broken up to for trophies.
