If it wasnt for America Taxi my lovely man
Just think how much the UK would have to spend on defence.
No America no trident.

I can see why the OP started this thread, there is a lot of anti American feeling on this board, people ridiculing their gun culture/Trump etc.
America came to our aid in WW2 in a massive way, even before they entered the war they were supplying us with huge amounts of armaments,without which I cannot see how we wouldve kept going.
Its my view that the Nazi's would've invaded Britain quite easily without the Americans, god knows what that would've led too. I actually believe we owe our liberty to the USA. (as well of course to our own forces). I have also no doubt that the Soviets would have swallowed up western Europe by now if not for American protection. People who hate America should maybe figure out which side their bread is buttered.
I once worked in America for a couple of years and I desperately wanted to stay but couldn't get the green card, but I loved my time there, Americans on the whole are a great happy positive race that get things done. They love English people too. I came back to Stalybridge and the whole places felt miserable by comparison (lots of moaning people).
Culturally I felt very much at home, more than I did in Englands neighbouring country...France.
We all benefit in some way from American 'things' be it medicine's, new surgical procedures and surgical equipment,microchips, Jumbo jets and a ton of other inventions/discoveries.
R & B, Blues, Jazz, RocknRoll all came from America......they pay for NASA !
Plus we'd have no Game Of Thrones or a zillion movies without their know how and of course $$ :)
I like America.
I dont hate America or Americans. I just think I`d like to slap some commonsense into some of them. Especially the one`s who voted and still support Trump and against any form of reduced gun control.
Also those that think the world is no more than 6,000 years old, or that the earth is flat. In fact all the religious nutters.
Thinking about it they all want a slap especially that loon AustinBlue
the nation deserves to be tea bagged by the corpse of jimmy savile for voting in trump.
You're not doing anything to ease the 'Merica hate here.I think you are completely wrong on your first point. Most 'Mericans are just like you. Well maybe not "you", but definitely like your neighbours.
And yes, my timing has always been shit. Total and complete shit.
