Remember, The English Language was not invented in the USA you may think so as a lot of you over there think everything was invented there in the USA
Take for instance your sayings i'll' take a raincheck' that is not proper English but a slang form of it, or when you need to go to the toilet some over there say 'wheres the bathroom' or the cloakroom, you use your own version of the language but it was in vented in the UK you only have to look at this website to see that, but there is nothing wrong in the way people express themselves so long as they are not thinking they are better than others
We; have the right to give it slang words you outsiders of the language do not as i said we invented it, you only copy us or try too
I live in Belgium but still remain British, born during the War and the Blitz on London, where it took our house and an Aunt
Born a Cockney under the sound of the Bow Bells and i am proud of that,
But i am not a Royalist never have been, so i do not say 'God save the Queen'
and those who are Royalists do not say Hail to the Queen , see above
'AND' i do not like the Belgium Chocolate. or there cream cakes, never touch them

Gee Steve, I am so glad you are still British. You have that ability because of millions of US servicemen and women who died to keep you British. Remember English is a Germanic language and might have been again if it weren't for those obnoxious servicemen. You must be one of those people who thought it was over after the battle of britain. One of my ancestors was Lord Mayor of London in the 1690's but I am proud I am one obnoxious American who feels your country and France can never repay us for our ultimate sarifice. My father's cousin was killed by a Nazi machine gun on D Day.

Steve:
I stand corrected, I must admitt I,ve never heard of the Bathroom called a "cloak room" so you see I can learn a thing or two from a wise gentelman such as your self. I,ve always been impressed of the great people who came from the U.K. and there proud heritage to them I show respect, a few of my favorites are Auston Powers, Inspector Bean, Benny Hill, Prince Albert (is he still in a can? you might want to let him out) you know the greats.

At least we had some great people on the stage that made us laugh, thats more than ever came out of the USA , they had no one like them, Those stand up comices could not make themselves laugh, You would have done a better job yourself with your replies, but only for people in an asylum because they would be the only ones to understand your sense of humour, or lack of it
One you mention i have never heard of Inspector Bean who is he. did he not come from the USA

When are you going to talk about Dogs
by Bob McKown on 19 June 2008 - 11:06
Well I,ll admit we have road this merry go round long enough. You Steve have your Ideas of America and I have mine of Most of Europe so lets just say we agree to disagree,
I,ll end with this, I,m in the process of building a house when I,m done I give you a standing Invitation to come and stay with my wife and I and our dogs for a visit, I,ll even furnish the airfare we can set on the porch and debate politics,dogs,the weather all under the roof of my home.

Good Luck with the House and may your wife and yourself live long to enjoy it
Let me know when it is finished and you move in and i will raise a Glass to you both, but i never accept charity however well it is meant, and it is i am sure, So i will dream from this end of seeing a little part of the USA
And as for the People of the USA i feel no ill will towards them,
They do not dictate the goings on of a country, no more than the folk of the UK do, i would guess not many agree with what the powers to be do anyway in both countries
