Living Legend & Old Fart
Sorry cannot get the image any larger; legend on the map reads 'South Africa'.
Hey, this is the country that voted for Dubya Bush, not once, but TWICE, so what do you honestly expect??
That said, we aren't much better in our own right.
How about this: my brother who lives in Michigan is over with his American wife and her brother for a short holiday. He drove them from Heathrow up to the Dales and as soon as they turned off the motorway onto the A59 they started shitting themselves every time they passed a car going in the opposite direction. The narrow Dales roads freaked them out and now he's in The Lakes things are even worse; they drove over Hardknott and Wrynose and absolutely pooed themselves. It didn't help when squeezing past a car on a narrow bit my brother's front NS wheel hit a rock and deflated the tyre. When they got to the hotel in Eskdale both of them went straight to bed and wouldn't get up. They told him they want to go straight home via the motorway and don't want to spend another minute on narrow roads. This is really stressing my brother because he wants them to enjoy themselves, he rang me last night really hacked off and not knowing what to do. I must add that the American medical profession has got its teeth into both of them because both are seeing therapists regularly and the brother takes medication, this is his first ever trip outside the USA! He's 59 and his condition for coming was that he must share a bedroom with my brother and his wife! Last two times my brother brought his wife over to the UK she was so stressed out that on returning home she left him for a month and went back to stay with her mother, also on therapy, in California.
The 'average' Americans that you are all lining up to have a laugh at are little different from our own soft belly of a chavvy underclass here in the UK
But if having a laugh at them makes you all feel better then go for it...
