As a Brit I have to say that's a jolly good reply SASless (regardless of the fact that only in America could there be such a word as the double negative 'irregardless'!!).
As you say, let's keep the politics and xenophobia out of it (except when used as a wizard win-up!), call a shovel a spade and judge things on their own merits.
Your posts seem cutting and mostly to the point - just what's needed to keep these threads interesting.
PS In view of your earlier post about the Rotorheads forum being used for postings about rotary aviation, shouldn't this topic be on the Jetblast Forum?
