I am always surprised at how much a common language can differ. In GB we would call strike breakers ' black legs' as the miners had dirty legs coming out of the pit.

Am I right in thinking that red is not a popular colour in the USA. ( red flag etc).

I wondered what the reaction from people in the USA was to the opening ceremony of the olimpics when we celibrated our national health service - one of our best loved institutions of the 20 century.
