I have relatives in England seeing as my Grandfather was born there and to be honest from the times I have visited there and elsewhere in Europe the Brits have always had a undercurrent of resentment and envy. This is just an excuse to let it out. Next to the french they really suck and their food is awful. As far as my Mother is concerned the Brits were simply the rudest people she had ever met and that was after visiting a dozen different countries from Australia going west back to the US.
I think Dan Gurney had the best comeback back when he was racing over there back in the 60's.
In response to a comment about why Americans don't speak English properly he replied "Well if it wasn't for us Americans speaking English so poorly, you guys would be speaking German."
