It's really about the same, just replace the paranoia and hidden enemy of 1980's communism with 2000's terrorists. The thing that really sucks is the house prices in Southern California. It used to be much cheaper to go out and drink, beer was about $1.50 and that was usually accompanied with a free happy hour buffet, now it's $5 - $6 no free food. Not to mention the price of gas.
I also find I get less fanny nowadays, I used to get laid at least once a month by a different girl........... but rather than the US changing dramatically I think that is down to the fact that I now have 2 kids, am 20 years older, greyer, wrinkled and about 25 lbs heavier than I was in 1987.

British women are much easier than American women! Or so it appears!

I've been here since 1987 but overall you are right, where I was from 3 lager and limes and you were shagging, here they want dinner FFS.
I had women coming up to me on the last trip home last year I remeber one girl came up to me and in a thick Brummie accent said " Do you want to see me suck?" she then sucked half her drink down with a straw. I just stood there speechless until her mate pulled her away.........

I remember going to clubs back home where people were practically shagging in a booth or on the dance floor. The majority of the time I go out dancing here, the blokes just stand at the side watching us girls dance, so in the end we have to give them a lezzie show!!!

We are definitely slappers, no doubt about it BUT I have seen the American women on holiday in Greece... they soon change their tune when they think no one is watching... That and a bottle of Tequila!
