Nice story - sorry you got lassoed by baying Brits - they should have been more gracious to guests. But as I've said before liberal/left Brits seem to be willing to lay into America the way they never would with any other nation.

Lots who do support the USA though - got yourself a one sided sample there methinks.

My visit to England was about 8 months prior to 7/7. The anti-American sentiment from Europeans was near a maximum at that point. The ladies I meant at a bar, were always surprised I was not ashamed to admit I was American. That was the mindset at that time. Michael Moore's Face was plastered in just about every Tube I walked down (movie advert).
