Oddly enough I used to be the same here and started out with the same philosophy as yourselfnikkypickles said:I'm not anti-American.
I have been very civil to J and the rest. I am quite envious of some of the freedoms that are in place in parts of the US. My problem is with the increasing litigation in this country, and the worrying trend that we are becoming anti-British, losing our identity. Not because of America, necessarily, but because of the political correctness which is being inflicted on us from every direction. You may as well label me anti-European. A far more accurate description.

Constant belittlement by most of the American male posters here, I have to say though that the female Americans posting here are far more enlightened than their male counterpartsnikkypickles said:So what changed?
Help me to avoid this future.

Yeah, the first time you turned up when it was nearly finished and the second time you turned up because somebody dropped a turd in your custardjsanders said:But we’re, oh so much better at it. And more deserving as well.
Worked out pretty good for ya'll last century. To the British rescue; not once but twice.

jsanders said:Speaking of Christmas Decorations
We have some really dedicated families all over America it’s so much fun to take the kids for a ride through some of the neighborhoods where it’s popular to decorate.
nikkypickles said:I have to say that, while a lot of the images that make it to this side of the pond show very garish, over-the-top decorations - at both Christmas and Hallowe'en - some of the ones I've seen are quite tastefully done and beautiful.
There is a street near where I live where a lot of gypsies reside (legally, let's not tangent the thread again!) and they decorate the entire cul-de-sac.
Unfortunately, because of the reason I gave before about the US media over here, the influence of many decorations in this country tends to be of the "OMG, take it down, you are a nuisance to the neighbours" variety.
No I'll pass your message on to the million odd British and Commonwealth relatives of those who gave their lives before you arrived on the scene.jsanders said:Tell that to the families of the 116,516 Americans that died over there, 53,402, in battle and 63,114 other (they must have been seriously short on medical knowledge and army safety training) and the 204,002 wounded.
You’re always up in the air about American’s denigrating Britain’s participation, and yet when it comes to America; no amount loss would be enough for you.
I don't think it's the actual decorations that neighbours object to, but the traffic that's generated by sightseersnikkypickles said:I have to say that, while a lot of the images that make it to this side of the pond show very garish, over-the-top decorations - at both Christmas and Hallowe'en - some of the ones I've seen are quite tastefully done and beautiful.
