Please don’t call me mate, you are not my mate, not now, not in the past, and certainly not in the future. Makes my skin crawl.

Whoever said that it wasn’t a two way street? I didn’t. I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised by the amount of contempt for Britain that I do see on this forum. I can also say that it is a relatively new phenomena. Ten years ago, five years ago, there would not have been any hint of hostility or bitterness especially not towards Britain. But this is a brand new day.

That it now exists tells me that at least some Americans are beginning to pay attention to Britain and Europe and the crap that is sent our way. I’m glad that America is finally taking a long hard look at this so called relationship and are finding it sadly lacking. It’s heart warming....mate.

Mate is a phrase, I am not actually stating you are my friend. Just like buddy in America, or mate in Australia.

And well done on finding the relationship lacking. We found that out 52 years ago...
