Title: Great Britain - Help!
Post by: midnight Target on August 20, 2002, 10:54:04 AM: I got a couple guys coming in this morning from England to look over our trailers... er Caravans.

What is a good "bad teeth" joke?

How often should I put down the Queen? Admiral Nelson? Churchill?

You all still sensitive about losing that war in 1812?

Post by: midnight Target on August 20, 2002, 12:17:28 PM: OK, I fixed BRITIN!

LOL, I gotta share. sometimes being a flight sim dweeb has its advantages. I'm talking to this guy (Steve from Manchester) and I discover that his company makes Helicopter accessories.

So we start talking about flying, yes he is a pilot, owns his own helicopter. I ask him about Duxford. BAM! We are best buddies. He introduces me to his kid, we tlk about the American Museum in Duxford.... bottom line, We just sold 10 coaches to this guy. :D

America could always choose to speak Portugese or French instead of English... no one's forcing you to use our language :)
