just thought about the ideas we picture in our heads of each other.....here in the U.K we tend to think of people in the US as loving everything big....big cars .....big houses....big meals....a bit loud...but very friendly...always willing to complain if they arnt happy with the service in a resturant or with public services.....were as we in the U.K are the total opposite!.....why????
stereotypical views of U.K and U.S.A

When I think UK, I think people hanging out in pubs watching football (that soccer kind :p)Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!

I have a wierd accent (I'm half South American and half Scottish).Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!
