An Englishman Abroad	BS: Who are you? Defining our identities (43)	RE: BS: Who are you? Defining our identities	07 Sep 05
Living in the USA the more English I am the more money I make. I was speaking at a meeting on Tuesday and a woman with a very thick European accent told me she had been in the USA for 25 years. She asked if I thought I would lose my accent. I told her I was working hard not to as it would cost me. One of the presentations I give is a light hearted look at the relationship between the USA and the UK. People with a British background can not wait to tell me their history.I get the feeling that America is such a mix that they are pulled in all directions untill the chips are down then they become all Amercan. Same in Britain, we are Scots, Welsh, English untill something happens then we are Brits. Got to admit I am English but supprt the Welsh when they play England at Rugby. all the best John
