Guvnor,
As a proud "colonial" I take umbrage at your comments. First, I fly for Southwest, and I welcome you brits to come over and try to compete with us, you have been here before, and the results will be the same. As we say here, old man, "anytime, bro". As far as the relative lack of competitiveness, your class bound society will never be able to compete with ours. for we care not which school you went to, or who your daddy was, what counts here is what you can do when it is your turn at the plate. Nice talking to ya, mate.
