The Brits

AZ Jim said:
Well apparently Bee feels this thread embodies true ill feelings toward our British members. I hope no one else suffers under that impression. I am very sorry if anyone took anything I said here as anything other than the kind of teasing one does with people they ca:Dre about. Clearly all my comments were simply satire and not meant as anything other than that.

Once you go yank, you never go back. BUT, you'll have to spell color and honor and other similar words without the poor tired U.. AND, stay on the RIGHT side of the road please.

Ameriscot, you are a true American, and anyone who calls you a traitor just because you moved to beautiful Scotland to be with your wonderful husband, truly has some issues. I am US born and raised, lived here all my life, and there's no way I'd be fool enough to call you a traitor. :love_heart:

Thanks SB! I am loyal to both as my user name says although the popularity of people like Trump make it really embarrassing! ;)
 

"Anyone can call me anything they wish"

As long as it's not too late to get breakfast!

"Oh as a born and raised Celtic lassie I can't tell you how many times in my life I've had this same conversation about Scottish inventors."

You should worry. Try convincing anyone that Agincourt and Crecy were won by the Welsh, or that the last invasion of the UK was defeated by the Welsh before the English even knew it had taken place!

I never say anything about Americans that I wouldn't say about my oldest friend. Mind you, he does live in San Antonio!

Many years ago I belonged to an American forum where they liked to pick on the English, also an Australian forum where it was obvious by one particular member she didn't like the English...........I am afraid it is just par for the course on forums.

I didn't say all Americans are nice...nor any other nationality, that would be ridiculous....I meant that I like Americans enough to prefer to be in their company on a forum in preference to most other forums of which I'm a member
 
Oh! for goodness sake, there are too many misunderstandings on this thread, this is a result of people not reading posts correctly......................think it best if I take a break from the forum.

Is this comment meant for me? I don't think I misunderstood anything........it was meant as a joke.....stirring POMS is a national sport in Australia.

This will no doubt get me in trouble but hey WTH......Q. How can you tell when a plane on the tarmac is full of English tourists?? A. Because you can still hear the whining after the engines have stopped.

I can laugh since I'm in Scotland and my dh is Scottish. :lol1:Although Holly lives in England, she is Scottish as well.

Totally agree with you on both counts.

:grin: I hear about Tony Abbott all the time from my Aussie inlaws! Who voted for this guy?! None of them are interested in cricket either and I really don't know anyone who is even though I know many English and Aussies.

Believe me there are many, many cricket fanatics in Australia. Mainly men and they treat the cricketers like Gods. I've never been interested.

Being an idiot does not disqualify one from being elected. Americans voted twice for Bush.
