What do you mean plan on living here...I've been living here for 15 years and I'm an American citizen
Who specifically did you get upset over? Maybe you should have wee word with them. Someone suggested it was your husband? Some sort of unpleasant domestic dispute? If so I'm sorry about that.

I was only joking. I have never heard of it. Is it a theme park?

Let me clarify. There seems to be rampant confusion among you Brits-I understand this open communication is disarming and may cause ones sensibilities to freeze up. I have a friend who is a writer -very liberal forward thinking guy...and recently he admitted to me he doesn't like British people. In his words "they think they're better than everyone else". I could not argue that. This of course is just one example, one of many that have piled up including a radio station host calling up a British man on the states side who went completely ballistic because we call cell phones "cell phones" and not "mobiles" which is obviously the correct way to refer to this device. The thing is-it's no "one" reference that's set me off-it's many that keep stacking up. I see very clearly that the tides have turned. The American is no longer the obnoxious, loud, untravelled, unsavvy world citizen. The British are now the obnoxious ones. Out of the kindness in my heart-I just thought you should know!

I'm sorry I can't say the same for your wife. I tend to look down on people who use emoticons to give the "thumbs up". Perhaps you also leave a room while shooting fake guns at people? (If someone told you this was a good idea they were playing with you)

I thought this discussion was about the fact that British people think they're better than everyone? Interestingly not one person on this board corrected that statement. So who is it with the small penis syndrome?
