Oh baby, baby...

It's no wonder we foreigners are confused as to what is right or wrong.

Col, "you foreigners" aren't alone in your confusion.
 
I suspect that an Englishman's education on Americans mainly comes via the movies. I don't know about anyone else but I have been given the understanding that a redneck is a simple minded country boy with a tendency for instant and considerable violence from little provocation. A neanderthal wearing a cowboy hat in a pickup truck, with a gun always to hand. Maybe a near neighbour and workshy hillbilly friend to the Dukes of Hazard. If in a good mood or drunk on moonshine, an eager line dancer and good ole boy. If not then totally avoid eye contact for even a second.
 
I saw this steer trespassing on my yard the other day while polishing my six shooters. At the time I was listening to deliverance on the phonograph machine. Well, it really frosted my goat seeing that critter stealing my grass like he was. So I commenced to load up, being from California we don't cotton to trespassing around these parts. After blowing his brains all over my neighborhood I packaged him up proper like!

This being memorial day weekend an all that critter will be extra tasty! And hopefully, I'll be bagging me another one just like it real soon!

So can you have rednecks in Florida or California where the sun shine seems permanent? or is it a special area only, a bit like red Indians having to live on a reservation.

Any place that has rural farming or ranching could have rednecks. Urban farming (rooftop veggie gardens for example) don't qualify because you don't need to stay in the sun that long for the rooftop gardens. There is an implication of "all day working under the sun" as one of the qualifiers. Every state in the USA West, Southwest, South, and Central Plains has a potential for this. Also some of the Northern states. Even Maine and Vermont, which are Northeast states. Some of the smallest states might have fewer eligible areas, simply due to farms requiring larger plots of land. But that isn't a "weather" issue, it is an "availability of land" issue.
 
That is an Indian Springfield. It is being raffled for $20 a ticket. When I win it, I'll let you all know.

Proceeds go to the Crazy Horse Memeorial effort...

Thanks Doc, I get it now. Rednecks are always portrayed in films as aggressive, violent and of limited intelligence. Is that true? If not - why portray them that way?

How much do they cost from a dealer? We don't have bikes like that in the UK. If you want one, you have to import it from the US.

That one as configured is about 25k. The Indian dealership in Sturgis, South Dakota donated it for the cause

Jesus christ! You can buy a nice car for that money. In some parts of the UK, you can buy a house for that.
They're not sold here as we haven't the roads like you or the nice weather, I wouldn't want to get it wet.

When I was out riding yesterday I passed a guy selling stuff from his yard. Spotted a 3' round Indian Sign. He wanted $95 but I got him down to $45. Told him I'd be back today to get it but forgot. :(

It isn't like it's real money...it's all about how much credit they are willing to extend. Bretton Woods in full swing
