The American view of Britain is very, very different from the British view of Britain!

OK then, if someone said to you 'Britain', what would you think of?

They have been Americanised - to the American view of Britain

Ah, that wasn't so bad. From the title of the thread, I was expecting something much, much worse. I expected to be fully outraged by now. What a letdown! :lol:

I'm not sure how this would work, but if your interested in the original text versions, you could probably order them from Canada instead of Britian at a considerable savings.
