At least you still have the Falklands, and Northern Ireland.

Re: Plans for the 4th
As one of two token furriners in the office (the other is Canadian) I am working the day, but afterwards:
Dig a hole in a neighbor's back yard, roast a whole pig, invite lots of people around, drink beer, climb on the roof of a 2-storey treehouse whilst drunk, cut gaps in the foliage in 2 directions and watch fireworks on 2 bridges at the same time.
Never get that in the UK.

Had hog roast in the leafy suburbs of far NW London not three weeks ago
To be fair though, no treehouse, and no fireworks - although the weather was great, for a change.
Lady we know has a severly disabled son and does fun fund raisers every couple of months or so. July 18th is Butlers in the Buff, should be quite a giggle.
4th, errr, painting, and hearing how crap the makeshift celebrations on base were no doubt.

I hope Butlers in the Buff is not what I think it is

Re: Plans for the 4th
I wanted to reply.
We usually have a huge picnic with about 30 friends at the local country club - they open up the golf course for it. Then watch a fireworks display while eating watermelon. Have done it for about 8 years now, bunches of fun as we get to catch up with folk we haven't seen for a while

BLOCK PARTY 
...........our estate closes off the street (unnoficially
) and there's usually about 6+ bbq's going. One of the garages serves as a buffet "table" and the whole neighbourhood piles in.There's a gang of local kids who have a garage band who play rude and embarassing songs after the kareoke is over at which point the old farts disappear and we sit around, get drunk and start to let off fireworks in the street.
Thank gawd after 3 years here, they've stopped with the Brit jokes........think I may just wear my flag.....
