They are ok but let's face it, tea instead of coffee? They use the unnecessary U in many words and worst of all, they drive on the wrong side of the road! But on the other hand they have some damn nice people.

They even WALK on the wrong side of the road according to Holly's pics. LOL

Hard to believe so many of us originated in such a backward society, huh? *sooner or later I will pay for this*
 

I'm not crazy about the Margaret Thatcher types or the obnoxious soccer fans but for the most part I love the Brits, their history, their culture, their accents, their food . . . Well maybe not their food.
 
I'm ignoring you two Guys....except to say.....this... :hiteachother:


Glinda..thank you my lovely:D...we're not keen on the soccer fans either they're a disgrace to our country and to our football teams whom they purport to support..of course the fans are not the problem it's the core element of hooligans that claim to be fans as an excuse to drink to excess and fight.. ...but thankfully I don't live anywhere near a football ground so I rarely ever get to see them except on the news..
 
My Mom says that one of our ancestors, at one time, was the Lord Mayor of London. As I recall, the name Halifax springs to mind.

The name "Webster" (me) is also in the mix. I love the Brits and loved my time in England

Sense of humor? Think: Mrs. Brown. :)

I have used yours and also Annies before.
 
My father was stationed in England for a time during WW2. I remember him talking about how much he loved it... the people and beautiful countryside. He wanted to bring us over but sadly, it never worked out.

It's an old myth that the food here is rubbish. And the number of accents is incredible!!

You do realize that the best part of Britain (and the UK) is Scotland, right? :D

They actually eat cucumber sandwiches with warm beer.

I've never had a cucumber sandwich but I think some of the posh ones might. And the warm beer thing is total BS. It comes from the fact that ales are cool, not cold. Lagers are icy cold. So nobody drinks warm beer here, ever. :playful: And they don't drink Budweiser!!

You're such a troublemaker, Jim, dear! :playful:

I am British by choice, not by necessity. I could live out my life here with a permanent visa but wanted to be a citizen. I love having two citizenships. :D

Besides... cucumber sandwiches are eaten at places like the Ritz with tea and scones and cake. Not beer. No breeding whatsoever, eh, Lon?! :rolleyes:
