He who walks sideways...
Think you need to re-read my post with a less jaundiced eye. No problem with you supporting your countryman, you and he can't help being British, any more than I can help being American. I guess it's clear neither of us would want to swap places...
Unfortunately, I resemble your remarks regarding SOH, criticism etc!
I used to possess some of the your stated qualities until hitting the UK shore...After many months of exposure to the few, I'm just not the man I used to be...Try dealing with the CAA as a foreigner...
Before I'm accused of widening the existing chasm between Yank and Brit, let me state clearly that my feeling about the British are by no means a blanket disapproval.
I've met a bazillion great people, along with the pompous, self serving few. The majority of us, Yank and Brit alike, laugh at pomposity wherever we find it, and from whatever nationality the source...Just sometimes the tone of voice or style of written word, makes the laughter stick in the craw!
