Keep your guns mate. After you’re done being condescending to we Brits, might I point out that all I need in the US is my English accent and that gets me access to everywhere you’d rather I didn’t.

That's because we are xenophiles, so I do believe you, and have seen that myself when my friends visit.

Any condescending tones from here are VERY Amateur League compared to being a Yank reading the British papers for a while. Really. Look at the Daily Mail and the Times, and in particular the Comments Sections on news stories. The comments written by the readers toward Yanks are often more brutal than anything that has appeared here, and are laden with impressions that seem to come from old "Dallas" reruns. The ones written by Dorset and Wilts farmers seem to be the worst.

Do. You. Believe. Everything. You. Read. In. The. Paper???

No kidding you get a bad press, I would argue for more if this is the reception we get from the average Yank? Or don’t these forums speak for the majority of Americans? Is this place a bit minor league?

And as for the Wilts and the Dorset farmers, what did you expect???! Eloquence?!!! They are F.A.R.M.E.R.S

And for a Conservative forum you aren’t clued up on the political slants of UK newspapers are you? If you want to pick a fight on more even ground, try arguing about the Independent or the Guardian.

I've noticed that, too.
