Careful with your admiration for the guy. clarkson is a rabid anti-American. He wrote a while back in his column in The Sun, I think, that Americans were so backwards that they could hardly walk on their back legs, something like that.

Yes, I thought he let some of that peek out with this line: "We were ordered to weep like Americans when Diana died..."
This author apparently doesn't understand that we in the US are fighting the exact same battle, and that weeping and whining is no more part of true American culture than it is English culture. If he is looking to the Oprah Winfreys of the world to catch a glimpse of American culture, then he has virtually no understanding of this country at all.

I enjoy English understated humour; now, if I could just understand anything they say...

My dad works with people from several different countries and in his opinion if your ancestors had the good sense to leave Britain you are ok to work with. The English are too interested in protocol instead of getting the job done for his taste. Or as one of his American co-workers told a Brit, “If it wasn’t for us you sob’s would still be using whale blubber for heat.”
