Celebrating OUR Independence day with a die-hard lefty from England was a true pleasure for me.
Great friend and always fun to be around, seeming intelligent but superficially liberal and anti-American.
During his trip to the US, he drove up and down the east coast from Virginia to Massachusetts. As we headed down to the Mall in DC for the “4th of July”, I asked him about is road trip, he said “You Americans have no creativity”, “Most of the towns and cities I drove through are named after places in England”. I shot back in an instant “We weren’t Americans then”.
LOL, good one!
Your friend reminds me of the character “English Bob” from Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven”.
