Mon, November 27, 2006 - 10:47 AMmale american friends are way more polite and respectful than most of those i know here in england. i could just be lucky in whom i have met.....but none of them are conservative!
i agree with Grimm, Brits are becoming less restrained in their actions and idea's and Americans seem to be becoming more conservative.
time for all change??
