So can us Brits ... but not on flights to the USA.

Apparently Britain has recently been declared one of the worst threats to the USA, but I can't recall which American politician said that - if indeed they did.

However, I gave up any plans to visit the USA once they started fingerprinting visitors. The assumption of guilt is a pet hate of mine.

Still lots of very nice people over there, though.

I have had 7 sets of visitors out here since January and not 1 was fingerprinted.

2 months ahead of UK? aren't both countries fighting the same war?

but that doesn;t mean we have to do the same !

Please don't call us Yanks, we try our best not to call you Limeys.

And I'm half American AND support both the Mets and the... YANKS!

Though I got hooked into baseball addiction when the Phillies won the world series (1980? 1979?)

1980, that's right, and then the next time they got into the series we had the lovely fiasco with Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams throwing the game. Fun fun fun! I think that's when I stopped paying attention to "real sports" altogether and just stuck with the reputable and honst "pro wrestling".

a limey is an englishman,I'm not that either.interesting though is the dictionary term


"Yank, an abbreviated form of Yankee, a word used in some English-speaking countries to refer to Americans, and within the USA to refer to Northerners"

People just use quick words to get a message over, I dont think any offence is often meant. When I work in Manchester, I so often get to hear the words "You can tell he`s a Londoner", when of course I actually am quite a way from that area. I have a very different view on rascist titleing though. Every rascist name for people, sounds like a swear word to me.
The most popular names for people where I live are, Pig Farmers, and Cackers. ugh!
