This article was being discussed on another forum I frequent. I've been to the UK lots of times over the past several years and I never experienced anything like what this woman describes. It sounds pretty bizarre that somebody would not want to talk while walking around in London for fear they'd be bashed or insulted for being American. I'm wondering if this person is doing something to bring attention to herself or somehow egging people on. There are some pretty nasty comments on the article too. What do you think????
