Subject: RE: Dr Howells now insults the USA
Phew! What a load of stuff.

Actually anyone reading an advert for visiting the UK or Britian or ... well there, would be very silly indeed if they thought that the London Bus was a North African automobile. Should not the ads themselves tell the vistor to do as suggested above, rent a car and get out into the countryside where they might, if lucky enough to find one, find an alehouse offering 'Brains'. Course that might seem offensive to an American, ooopz, UnitedStatesofNothAmercans person - also known as a 'Yank' in the aforementioned places.

Seriously I think that the whole thing stinks! It's not that I don't enjoy a good pint of ale with local merriments laid on, I simply refuse to have anything to do with 'organised' culture anywhere ever.
What are they going to do? EFDS police arresting folks for singing 'I belong to Glasgow' in a Welsh Pub?

As to emailing UKE papers, what would it achieve? Could not the opposers send spoof emails? Anyway there never was a problem with 'Blighty' Pub Singsongs until the Tories taxed fun itself with the Iron knickered witch of the North banning smilie faces in Crumbsdum.

To avoid getting off at the wrong station Americans should not alight at Shannon or Cardiff or Glasgow, they should instead leap out at London or London or London because 'Yanks' do not know how to use Roundabouts. Will that do it?

Hi lil hackster ..... hehehee hehehhe
