Thread Name: BS: British/American cultural differences.
Subject: RE: BS: British/American cultural differences.
We straighten crooked teeth with .....braces! McGrath asked about fried sausages but the answer didn't tell that in the US they are made from sawdust. (We need to introduce them to "Braughings" from the butcher in the village of that name 10 miles north of Harlow). I always like to keep my pecker up and didn't go to public school because the public were'nt allowed in. The first time I saw a bumper sticker saying "Honk if you love Jesus" (in Oklahoma) I felt like I wanted to honk. I was in Australia just after the Princess Di thing and was amazed at how sad they all were. We were'nt. They were most surprised to find we generally did'nt go for her at all. Not up to the job. And in the Barbara Allen thread I make the point that Sweet William was actually called Jemmy Grove in the original English version. All the best, Terry
