To be perfectly frank there's no outright hostility that I've seen towards Americans...quite the contrary, usually the first instinct to ask Americans where they come from in the States, to see if we've visited that particular part on holiday. ;)

Please keep in mind I also used to live in the Socialist Hell Hole of Islington, North London too. There's no burning American flags, or anything like that. We're glad for foreigners that speak English, to be perfectly honest.

Regards, Ivan

I am a huge Jane Austin fan. I have always longed to see the English countryside as well as London. Hope I get my wish some day.

My husband's family are of English origin-Payne. He was told the spelling was changed from Paine.

Unfortunately, I think the leftists in your country are those that always make the news over here, much like how San Francisco makes the news there. We see the soccer hooligans(a term I think originated from a version of my surname), you see Jerry Springer and COPS. It's not the average American or Englishman who makes the news.

England's on my places to visit list, right along with Ireland, Scotland, all 50 states(been to 20 and DC), Alberta(Canada province), Czech Republic, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia.
