Re: British passports for US-based kids

Re: USA employers and British work experience and references

Re: Go ahead - Drink and drive

I guess it's just me, then. I just find the idea of directly linking drinking alcohol with driving in that way seems to send out the wrong message. If you go and buy it at a grocery store...yes,...

Re: Go ahead - Drink and drive

A drive-through 'beverage centre' ie drink shop. Drive up, buy a case of beer, drive out. It really doesn't seem to send the desired 'don't drink and drive!' message.

Re: Go ahead - Drink and drive

I'd suggest that is IS at least somewhat socially acceptable, as evidenced by drive-through off-licences. There seems to be much more of a link between alcohol and cars here than I was used to in...

Re: QUick Trial and hang this mother

You read the story, maybe?

'A bit gruesome' is what happened to the child who was betrayed by those who were supposed to love her. Anything that happens to the parents is called 'colourful'...

Re: Are Americans more productive than Europeans?

That's one thing I love about my current job - productivity is measured. The main requirement for getting a regular bonus is logging AT LEAST 4.5 hours per day of billable support for customers. ...

Re: What can Brits learn from Americans?

How to push for what you want is a good one. Beyond that...well, most of what I've learned here isn't in any way endemic to America. That people are people wherever you go is the main one.

Re: Americans and their Revolution...

After the fact, Britain was left with a shattered economy, a ruined infrastructure, and a series of betrayals by her allies.

The US halted the lend-lease program to Britain as soon as the war was...

Yeah, whenever they get obnoxious about it, I say that they won because Britain was too busy fighting against a murderous dictator to be able to suppress a bunch of terrorists on the other side of an...

Dambusters is reasonably accurate...some exaggeration, of course, and they don't go into the actual practical effect of the raids, but other than that it's reasonable enough.
