Thanks for the comment Uncle Buck, this will be my last post in this thread or i can see things getting out of hand and we are already a mile away from the original subject.
I have visited the US twice, i love the country and the people, The Henry Ford Museum is awesome. When in the US i do feel more at home and comfortable than i do in say France, even though France is that close you can see it from England. It's not just the language thing, you Americans are warm and genuinely friendly, not just trying to make a quick buck from the tourist.
America is one of our few Allies, you have supported us Brits on more than one occasion and got us out of the ****, not like the rest of Europe who have created the ****.
So come on Uncle Buck, get your passport and visit us, you will feel at home, apart from driving on the wrong side of the road and London is great this time of year.
