I like the games we used to play at Ann Summers parties. I always used to win the points game though, that game alone won me some fine items lol!!

Really? it doesn't stop a lady from Texas using other things though, like big English cucumbers

We love watching Gordon Ramsey, not the same when you hear bleep, instead of f**k

You think that's bad?

A few years ago they broadcast an interview that Melvyn Bragg did with Billy Connolly for the South Bank Show - there was almost nothing left of it ...

Nudity on TV? haven't seen ANY since I have been in the US, and when they have nudity, its blurred out.
..

Per-lease. I went home to UK for a visit, switched on the tele and thought I was watching a porno. You forget how open it is at home after a while.

I tell Americans when they ask why we're so stiff that ""you're all loud and obnoxious in public because you're prudish crap in the bedroom. Now what do you think the Brits are like in that case?"
It makes them think.

Re: Prudish Americans

I'll tell you another thing, those American loo cubicles (hello McDonalds etc) with the gap in between the stalls that's so wide you may as well leave the door open for all to see....enough said.
