Well I guess this is where we will have to agree to disagree. There is a playbook out there when it comes to America. Euros go to that playbook whenever they feel outsmarted or outworked by the Americans. BTW, you’ve not once corrected my that Scotland and England are not in Europe, strange.
Silly us, we expected/expect Americans to win with the dignity and grace and friendliness we ascribe to them.
Sorry, but your ideas of what 60m Brits ‘think of America’ is clearly the idea of someone who has never been here. So again, I suggest, implore and invite you to actually visit here and challenge your own preconceptions.
And we are and we are not in Europe: politically yes, culturally yes, but at a remove. The Irish the same.
people in the Uk and Ireland do not look at themselves as Europeans, that’s why.
The Scots, English, Welsh and Irish all get along,minus a couple of bigots, racists.
