I met a man from Tennessee in a kebab house in south London on saturday night and, slightly inebriated, made sure that my parting words to him were ‘God bless America’.

Some people are scornful of Americans over here, but then plenty of Americans are scornful of Britain on this very website. I don’t take it personally, nor should you.

With reference to your post #7, thanks for the kind words you said to the man from Tennessee.

My wife and I had our honeymoon in Scotland and London in 1971. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and were touched by the kind reception we received.

We went back to London two times thereafter.

Now, I would not go there, based upon hearsay about crime in that city (neither would I visit American cities...same reason). Also, I made my last plane trip some 12 years ago. I am not willing to risk my life by getting on an airplane again and I certainly am not willing to have my dignity assaulted by the TSA.

I think the thread was about what’s going on in UK universities. I doubt you’d find a concerted anti-UK crowd on any US college campus.
