I’ll admit I’m a bit sensitive to the subject. :diablo::D:rolleyes::)
After living in the UK and seeing how the US is portrayed in the popular media (as opposed to news)…well, it’s left me a bit jaded.
All I ask is to remember there are people OTHER than:
-Movie Stars
-Hillbillies
-People who appear on Jerry Springer (see #2 above)
-Religious/UFO/Elvis fanatics
and:
Everyone doesn’t drive a 1959 Cadillac (the one with the huge tail fins)
Most Americans are fairly normal.
Except when they’re not.
It’s true many Americans have a sterotype of the UK/English, but it’s fairly benign…AT WORST…they’ll think you either live in a manor house or are really hip….or some think you’re still living in the time of Jane Austen…since most of the BBC shows we see are costume dramas.
Cor blimey guv’nor, any old iron, any old irony…:D
I think you have a more stereotypical view of your compadres than we do ! Maybe you should come back over here for a while and give it another go…:rolleyes:
