Have you ever
heard an American saying 'cheers'? It's like listening to your parents' sex sounds.
Just wrong. What Americans don't understand is that, seared into the hearts and souls of every true Brit is a list - you have to respect your dialectical position in the list of best places to be from and say cheers:
1. Newcastle
2. Glasgow
3. Hull
4. Oxford
5. Sheffield
6. Bristol
7. North-East Wales
8. Cornwall
9. Belfast
10. Liverpool
You can say 'cheers' if you're not on the list, but you have to respect the list. Americans simply do not respect the list (neither do Swanseans, which is why no-one likes them either).
