Well while i can relate to everything said so far i feel like i must defend the American's


why the heck should they know anything about Britain? when before i moved over here i knew bugger all about the U.S , heck at one time i thought Canada and the U.S where just about the same thing, and after being here for 8 years i wouldn't be able to run off the names of all 50 States if i had a gun to my head

yeah America isn't the all important country most of it's residents think it is, maybe they should know the English speak ....welll.....English but heck when was the last time you really said the Great in Great Britain

Aren't they?

hehe don't let a Canadian hear you say that
