(Previous rude comment by me about P Doherty edited out for irrelevance and bitchiness reasons).

Not so many baseball caps worn in London these days, at least not where I live and work.

American fashion has had a huge influence on what Brits wear since at least the 60's. Has any British fashion in recent times caught on in the States? I can't imagine so really.

Americans love tucking into fried chicken and Mexican food, whereas the Brits go for kebabs and curry. Both sides love pizza. I was struggling to think of a classic British food taken on by the American, and suddenly remembered the humble sandwich:




However, it's fair to say that the Americans have made an artform out of sandwich-making, whilst us Brits are often happy to have a cheddar cheese sandwich.

You make the cheddar cheese sandwich sound like a poor relative of other types of sandwich, when really it is a king among the type of snack that is made by placing a filling between two pieces of bread (except in Sandinavia where only one piece of bread is used, with a topping instead of a filling).






I don't know why I posted that. I don't know why I post most of what I post.

I think its more related to the Lowest Common Denominator. Set the bar lower and lower, catch more prey.

Do the Americans go on about the weather as much as us Brits do?

sonicl - in no way do I wish to denigrate the cheese sandwich. I was merely pointing out that the Americans would garnish the sandwich with about 17 different dressings plus a harvest of salad toppings, and would offer a choice of about 15 types of bread.

Whose cheese is the cheesiest?

The French, hur hur hur. I don't really know much about US cheese, except for the Federal-donated Government Cheese. Come on US-ers, recommend me some of your finest cheeses.

thats a trick question, there is no real american cheese, it's all processed

and besides who could compete with this



ain't no american gonna chase no cheese

I took that question from a spoken word poem that takes the mickey out of the rivalry between Canadians and Americans. It's on this album:

from what i've noticed on this board, americans lack social cohesion, whereas the bitish hunt strictly in packs. have you ever seen a british "loner"? no-- they are all highly socialized, know what's expected of them, and behave accordingly. that has its pros and cons of course-- what you gain in group cohesion you lose in diversity and originality of the individual. then again, jack the ripper was british-- but what if he was actually an american expat??

I don't really agree with this, and started saying why, but I can't be bothered right now.

I could just say nothing, but I felt like saying I don't agree.

im waiting for 5 more british people to show up and back you oup on this :D

I would back Pookie up, but I'm busy making a cup of tea.

cmon, 4 more...

I would back Pookie up too. But not now, as I need to go poopie.

See, proves my point. There are no British people here who like me or agree with me.

....I'm back from my urgent mission. Hey Pookie, I got your back now. Have I washed my hands? Why of course, sir.

man, im good-- really good. i should work for national geographic.

I would also pack Pooks up, but I am awfully busy with the crossword from The Times.
