Is there anything in england that is better than in the states?

[lazs2]

In light of all of beetles posts that are simply thinnly veiled and misguided patriotism..... I thought we would just skip the next 20 or 30 "U.S. vs british this or that" threads and cut to the chase...

Is there anything worth coveting in england that we haven't allready bought or stolen?   I mean, besides Scotland (which probly won't be theirs much longer anyway) and a bunch of old buildings?

I mean... there might be but I just don't see why, if there was, we wouldn't simply have it by now.   Maybe I missed something?

Elizabeth Hurley is more tastey than Guiness.  But Guiness has never said no to my advances.

Convertible sports cars.

Oh, wait.  Ford, Honda, and BMW all own the British manufacturers now.

Ok, never mind.

Well, then, I would say England has the better F1 race teams (Ferrari is the best and we know where those come from).

I talk to people form Tennesee and Mississippi all day.

Honestly, I can't think of a thing. But I don't concern myself with their affairs in any way, so maybe I'm just unaware of what I am missing.

We're certainly not going for the food.

thrawn.... I find southern accents to be pleasant but I find british accents to either be uninteligable or.... effeminate.   nothing in between.   While in england I commented that i couldn't understand a word this brit was saying.   He laughed of course, and from what I could get out of the garbled words he was spouting.... he felt that he was speaking correctly and that I was the one with the 'orrible accent... I asked him why, if that were true, that while I couldn't understand a thing he was saying, he could understand every word that I said.

They're better at spitting through that gap in their front teeth.

Mini is owned by BMW... its still built in England.  Where was your healey built?

But... even when it comes to cars, the brits make a good car better by moving the steering wheel to the propper side.

But really... that's it.  England has pretty much blandized ever other thing in their country... usualy through hours and hours of soaking in boiling water.

psst...  Guinness is Irish, not English.

[lazs2]

deja... i will disagree on british cars.   They make beautiful cars but they are junk.   If you want a good british car you have to scrap all the british parts.   Every one you keep is a potential disaster.   Your mini is much like my healey in that it has very little other than the look of the body to do with the original.
