Just a generalisation, but the way an American businessman will out-manouver you is different from the way an English businessman will out-manouver you. So if you are a Brit and have never dealt with an American apart from during a fly-drive holiday to Florida you should be doubly careful. You should be careful even if you understand their mind-set, but that's just business! Also as a generalisation, once the Administrators are in control any spare money will go to them
