Subject: RE: BS: Why is America Great?
Nah Kendall ye dinny hae mair per capita it jist that in America ye dae things big.

Mind you you should hae seen the luk on the Big Americans face when the Shetland bus driver got fed up wie bein telt how much bigger everything wis. "Thats nothin" says the driver "At our airport we have a runway that goes all the way from the North sea tae the Atlantic Ocean." they drive on a bit along a single track road with water at both sides at one side of the airport and the driver stops the bus. "Ladys and gentlemen that is the Atlantic, and that is the North Sea" all of 15 foot apart :)I met one of the other Americans on the bus a few days later he was still smiling at the peace they got.
