Fubar, thanks for the fair and balanced opinion... I do see your point about "This is how we do it back in the States" song and I'm sure it gets tiring to hear it!
Like I said, I am not a full blooded American but I live and work here so I was curious. America is so big therefore, most Amercicans just have not traveled enough to know and understand a difference out side their country. Now they are learning...the hard way. So give 'em a wi bit of berth before ya kick 'em in the nutts!
