In a world with a thousand serious issues to discuss and debate, it's nice to know that some people have no bigger problem than sulking because they can't buy a jar of Branston Pickle.
And to think I came to the US to get away from your kind!

Why should the rest of the world change to suit the British?
Ive met dumb people all over the world - and yes, shock horror in Britain too! Infact I've even been known to say the odd stupid thing myself. But dont worry because Im going to start an America the Beautiful thread in a moment just to make all the resident Yanks happy. Ok?

Firstly, the gentleman who came out with the stupid comment in my post on the first page was English...
Secondly, other posters have commented that people who are far from 13 (and probably not yokels) come out with just as stupid a comment...
Thirdly, what do you expect?? We all live in America... As a result, would it not stand to reason that the vast majority of memorable (if not stupid) comments come from people who are inquisitive about our home country?
My other example of a stupid comment is from a high school teacher in NY who asked me... "Do you have Banks in England???"
That kind of person deserves to be made fun of.

Funny isn't it...I tell the truth, which is akin to my outspoken, take-no-prisoners attitude in real life, and tell you how sycophantic and pompous you all can be...and check out how many nerves have been hit. The calls to "well don't read then", "go somewhere else", "you're a troll", etc etc all remind me that the truth hurts.
Talk sense or go away.

Plus anyone with an education would know that American English is historically more accurate to the Anglo-Saxon development of the language, than what is currently spoken in the UK. Yes, in the days of old (such as Shakespeare's plays) Romeo and Juliet probably talked more like Elizabeth Taylor than Elizabeth Hurley.
But of course, you all wouldn't know that...you spend too much time laughing at good ol' boys who don't know where Wales it
