Not really my dad is footing the bill for the whole trip. I'm flying my step mother over to meet him. She will continue on to Turkey with him.

Are you sure I need a new gaming PC, can you get me a green card?

10thmd, after you've made that trip I'd like to know how many native Englishmen you managed to meet. During my trip a quarter of a century ago I suppose the only "real" English people I met were in Cotswold where we made a bus trip. The rest were first generation immigrants from all over the world.

I asked. The hotel clerk was Polish as was the kitchen maid who had a desperate one sided love affair with him. The cleaning ladies were from Gambia and Guinea, iirc. The two girls at the laundry shop were either from Latvia or Lithuania, can't remember any more. The shopkeeper opposite to our hotel was from India or somewhere near. The PizzaHut maid who forgot my pizza on the counter might even have been Finnish although she didn't say it. Etc.

Oh, and to add to the list: The mummified guy laying in a glass sand box was Egyptian and the swamp mummy hidden in a peep box was Danish. The only Englishmen I'm sure were native visited Finland.

Poor chap, you've been surrounded by Johnny Foreigners...  :t

Copprhead, that is very nice of you to say, and I thank you.  :aok

My wife is very good to me, and I am very lucky.  On our honeymoon, she planned out a giant roadtrip for us to go to, among other things:  a Red Bull air race, the US Air Force Museum, Gettysburg, and the Udvar-Hazy flight museum.  She also went on a ride with me on a B-24 (The Collings Foundation one that Columbo once flew).

When I visited, I got to meet Wurzel and SF3.  I could tell that they were English because they were so awesome.

You went to pizza hut?  The pizza scene is that bad in London?

Remember, my experience was 25 years ago. PizzaHut was something special to us, we only knew it by name. The chain pizzerias started to spread in the early eighties in Finland, so we had to compare that to what we had.

It is American in the sense that it highlights the desire of the public for a taste of the empire. More than one way to take over the world.
