I'm American. Ask me anything.

Depends on who you talk to.

And the Bal'mer Orioles haven't played good baseball since they were the St. Louis Browns, on the whole.

Some years back we were holidaying in Washington DC.

Heading off on a freeway in a coach to watch the Baltimore Orioles play baseball (which, incredibly, makes cricket look like an exciting adventure sport) our hostess for the event asked "do you have big roads like this in the UK?"

A very insular nation despite all their global meddling.

To be fair, America is the only place I have seen an 8 lane road.

Edit I mean eight lanes in both directions.

And how is that working out for them ?

My kids school also had such a drill. It’s not just about an active shooter but any violence that gets into school grounds, eg gangs.

Do they have a drill for 'there's a dog in the playground ?' - that was the only drama in my school years.

It was a generic drill which could be an active shooter but more like violence outside the gates that might spill into the gates. However it did actually once get put into use when 2 large dogs were not being controlled at collection time.

A friend of mine went to primary school in Kenya. They had a special bell for "someone saw a lion - playtime is cancelled"

My wife got into trouble when she was a teacher when a child got bitten. He complained to the teacher and she replied " serves you right for tormenting it". Cue irate parent next day but the headmaster soon sorted her out and she left sobbing and apologising. Could not happen in today's world.

Aaaah. Happier times with bitey dogs running free in the streets !

Do you want to do a permanent swap? You keep Meghan and Harry (and never let them back here), and we'll gladly take Princess Mako and her husband off your hands.

We had a piglet running round inside the school, when I was in juniors, one of the girls in my class got her farmer dad to bring it in, it visited four classrooms before being captured!

Both your nations need to sweeten the deal, although in The States, we mostly ignore Meghan and Harry.

The last time I visited, a pair of Levi 501 Red Tabs cost about £17 in Oregon. OK, it was about fifteen years ago, but that particular state seemed like absolute paradise to me. Gin was spectacularly inexpensive, the forests and rivers were beautiful, and the locals seemed pretty relaxed and friendly. A welcome escape from California.

Is it still lovely?

 

[Gravity Aided]

I am sure t is, although Portland has become quite expensive, I hear.

We'll hand over Prince Andrew. You can put him in an orange jump suit while you work out at your leisure which questions to ask him.

Thank you, no.
