1. On July the 4Th you can wave around the stars and stripes, and go "Oooh n Aaaarh" at the fireworks but no bugger has a clue what they are celebrating:confused:

I once was walking with my wife on the 4th July in her home town and as we watched the fireworks etc I could hear the national anthem playing.

I (in a slight drunken state) turned round and asked my wife in a slighty louder than usual voice...." why dont americans sing to their national anthem...if this was England everyone would be singing along"

Then I suddenly remembered what the 4th July is all about, Cringed and ducked into the nearest bar to hide.



:beer: :PARTY: :beer: :PARTY: :beer: :PARTY: :beer: :PARTY:

I can confirm that - I was onced asked by an American if people celebrated the 4th of July in Britain!!! :rolleyes:

LMAO! I know us Brits love a good loser, but this might be pushing it a bit far.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

We kind of do now. My wife and i got an invite to the US Consuls party here and had a good time, well i got drunk and harrassed the chief constable, so that was fun!

I always answer "yes we were glad to get rid of you" hehe. We sometimes have a 4th of July party- any excuse to party LOL and we always stipulate NO dumping of tea in the pool and we promise not to have redcoats in the bushes:D The first year half the people wondered why we said NO tea dumping....:rolleyes:

You can never take the trouble to attempt to learn any language other than English, but then get annoyed when you travel to another country and can't find anyone who speaks English. (Added bonus - You can also get annoyed if new immigrants don't learn English right away.)

I always enjoy 4th of July parties, and have done for many years.

It is important though at these events to remind them, politely but firmly, that if it wasn't for the French, they would all be speaking English now.

Like it.

When a brit asks you a question, it takes you 10 times longer than necessary to explain the answer. Followed by about 3 examples of what you mean :-)

Please note: After 30 seconds WE HAVE GOT IT!

You can exist, like 70% of Americans do, without ever leaving the country, ever experiencing another culture, and happily believe with total confidence that any way that is not the American way is wrong.

Not different, just wrong!
