Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, you know... did you have a look at what the idiots around me elected here? *shudders*
What I find "funny" is that there's quite a lot in the US that's inherited from the UK, and not many see that.
"Soccer" is a word that makes me laugh. I used to referee rugby (so imagine just how hard I laugh at American *football*) and I'm a fan of cricket.
I must have two drops of British blood in my veins, but I do understand why one of my cousins stayed in London after the end of WWII. If I'm home, I have my tea at 6, and so on...
Oh... in a few scenes of my current tribble, there will be a "colony" reference. *big wink*
