To your question, I quite like Britain and it's people. It is the nation that gave me some of my dearest friends and the woman I love
You think I'm bigoted ... because I describe [accurately] the driving habits in the Greater DC area? I drive more miles per annum in the USA than I do in UK, so please allow me an opinion on what it's like where I drive in the USA.
You think I'm bigoted ... because I eat out more in US restaurants than I do in UK? So why do I praise [and post menus] of places I eat?
I won't say any more ... we are clearly poles apart. That's as in "Poles of the Planet", and nothing to do with a country in Europe.
