Who would think such a thing?

I think I've done far more damage than I thought I would. Lodged my foot further into my mouth than I expected. I think you're right Boaz, and if I'd been born a yank then I'd probably be a die hard apple pie God Bless America patriot (and if I'd been born in Carmarthenshire I'd only speak Welsh, especially to English tourists!). But I wasn't. I was born in Kent and to see (citing Homer Simpson) our 'son' (prodigal?) across the pond effectively ruling the world (in our eyes at least) while using they're own corrupted form of our own language. It just grates. And me personally, it rubs my back up a little. Sorry.

Oh, and if you do ever find yourself over here on holiday: it's a 'bum-bag', NOT a 'fanny-pack'. Trust me!
 
Yeah Fanny means something totally different over there.

I am Canadian, we are like the ******* love child of France and England, but at least we know how to spell colour.

oh and my guess is Davos

Fanny is a vagina. There. I said what nobody else wanted to say. I'm such a bad girl.
 
Yes Sry, it is. Just one of the many extra jokes we Brits get when watching American TV. Another is when an American talks about doing his/her duty. Cracks me up every time...
 
Apologies! Narkalui for the win! Okay, Narky Nark, give us a fun bunch of thoughts!
 
wait what? I guessed Davos first I'm. assuming Boaz missed that, so I'm gonna go ahead and post a thought :)

This man is defeated. Small wonder he ended here.
