They've got you, like it or not.
Europe can be 'visited or even 'looked at'. It can't be 'done'.

All of it kind of explains his snippy attitude huh - Having to drive a Blowdryer 150 to work in the cold UK rain everyday because his Queenie puts a 700% tax on his petro ;
Now here's a Brit who loved our glorious country.
Not surprising

The Queen (God Bless Her) does not charge taxes. Thats why we have a government and a Prime Minister. Please get your facts correct rather than trying to be smart.

Did she sneeze? If she did - 'gesundheit'!

Her Majesty (God bless 'er) should be blessed at all times.Did she sneeze? If she did - 'gesundheit'!

(and I wouldn't have said the world was even slightly 'tale', never find 'fairly')
It dates back to the ancient times when people were far more gullible and belief in God, ghosts, goblins, a flat earth, etc. was far more prevalent.
It's lasted this long due to the great esteem in which all British people hold both the church and the Royal family.
And 'gesundheit' is a German word, so would never cross the lips of an honest, hardworking Briton.
Okay, that all went wrong.
I sometimes forget that tongue-in-cheek doesn't translate well to text
The royals in general are not that popular in the UK (certainly less so than they used to be). The whole 'God Bless Her' thing is a bit of a running joke, and a hang over from the days when the reigning monarch was revered and if you had any doubts about the existence of God you kept them to yourself.
No apologies necessary, it was a weak attempt a joke and I shall now slink away.

Please don't leave on my part, I find it refreshing to have dialog with a person of your caliber. As opposed to the likes of CE and his little brother whom like to blast away at the US of A and then get all bent when a little swipe is made at British culture...
Typical American! You seem to be determined to take every blatantly insulting remark made against your country the wrong way. Saying that you're a bunch of war-mongering, xenophobic control freaks isn't necessarily intended in a bad, way you know? Constructive criticism can be helpful. I'm sure that's all these people - whose names I can't begin to imagine - had in mind.Please don't leave on my part, I find it refreshing to have dialog with a person of your caliber.

Anyway, it's not your place to criticize British culture, when it was the cradle of civilisation (in spite of whatever so-called 'proof' the Africans, Egyptians, Greeks, etc. come out with). If it weren't for a small minority of ungrateful foreigners, the world would know the truth about our invention of everything from gravity to the space shuttle, and how we conquered so much land by asking politely if people would like to be colonised, pointing out the benefits of being semi-British.
