I used to work for a large corporation in the US that was owned by the Brits. Visiting America was very popular for the Brits. Nearly any reason was good enough to visit our site. Needless to say we had Englishmen on the site routinely.

An inside joke was that the three things our English friends needed upon arrival in the states was a bath, a toothbrush and a tailor. With good reason.

I worked in London during a very hot summer. Us Yanks used to say that the only thing Brits ever put under their arms was an umbrella :-)
My visits to France were no better.

Are Americans the only ones who know about baths, showers and deodorant?
