I get fed up of Americans (or Yanks in British slang) who get all high and mighty about how awful the British are and about how superior they are to us Brits.............

I, for one, like Americans........... I find them out going and friendly and I often prefer that to British reserve and sarcastic sense of humour.

However, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP GOING ON ABOUT HOW YOU WON THE WAR OF INDEPENDANCE and HOW YOUR SOLDIERS CAME AND WON BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND WORLD WARS blah blah blah blah blah .......... HOGWASH!!!!!

I have studied both US and British history, so I know what I'm talking about.

The US is a great country and champions democracy, but I think that you'll find Britain has been a democracy longer- parliament really came into power after the end of the English Civil War in 1651.

I'd just like to quote from a booklet prepared for the US soldiers coming to join in WW2, to prepare them for life in War time Britian....

" You may think of them (the English) as enemy Redcoats who fought against us in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. But this is no time today to fight over old wars again or to bring up old grievances.......it doesn't mean anything now.

The most evident truth is that in their major ways of life the British and American people are much alike. They speak the same language. They both believe in representative government, in freedom of worship, in freedom of speech,. But each country has minor national characteristics which differ. It is my causing misunderstanding over these minor differences that Hitler* hopes to make his propaganda effective....
(* - insert any present day opponent to democracy and for the US/British 'special friendship')

Just think about it!!!!

"You know what the first rule of flying is? ..... Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home." Mal, talking about Serenity
(sure Mal, you're so NOT talking about Inara!!)

What this fails to take into account is that it is currently amazingly easy to get a DVD player that's region hackable. I bought one for around $40 so that I could import Spaced (and soon Black Books!).
