What pathetic ignorance. Are Americans so stupid as to think that Britain is wet all the time?. Bet you think London gets fog every day too.

How ironic, because as I post this reply, it is warm at 10.30pm, and today throughout much of Britain it was very warm.

The British MEDIA.

The rest of us didnt quite swallow the scare stories, and as it turned out, it was a great tournament with little violence.

Eastern Europe DOES have a shocking problem re race and racism, but thats a bigger issue than Euro 2012.

You can't fool us Americans. We know that London is dank, dark, foggy and rainy most all of the time. It's in all the literature after all.

However, for visiting tourists, it's part of the charm of visiting Great Britain. All that gloomy weather puts one in the mood for visiting one of England's thousands of pubs where one can have a pint or two of ale along with a plate of England's staple meal of fish and chips.
