What is your problem with American terminology?
Nothing, but we see it alot in films and on TV, and I think that when the British try to use it, it just doesn't work. Am I not entitled to an opinion? Oh no, I'm bad old Col, not entitled to opinions or I get banned.
you must have had a really anti-american family.
No, not really, actually my parents went there for a holiday once.
Open your mind, most Americans embrace English culture as do i embrace American Culture.
"American culture"? Is that an oxymoron? Although I understand it to be true that some houses date back as far as the early 1990's
Finally - Why in any way would it be a problem if i weren't British?
No problem at all. Obviously living in the West Midlands though, the chances could be very high that you could have been Johnny Foreigner.
Actually, just for the record, I like Americans.
They are usually ultra polite, have fab cars from the 60's, superb music like Count Basie, Buddy rich, Elvis of course and the brilliant Everly Brothers.
I like the way they struggle with geography and world affairs and their difficulty speaking, spelling and understanding English.
