....not realise that Y!A is not solely used by people in the U.S. and that there is a world outside their own country???
I'm not one for ranting but it's time I got on my soap box for a few minutes to vent my frustrations. A couple of examples from the past few days;
Someone asked, "Who will be watching C4 at 10pm", obviously referring to the Tourette's programme with Keith Allan. Someone from the US answers, "Don't you get that Channel 4 is different in every place. Where I live now it is PBS, when I lived in Utah it was the ABC Affiliate."!!!!
Another asked about where can they could buy an exercise bike in the Motherwell areas, someone from the US answers "Sears"!! Yeah, like we have Sears stores in the UK let alone Motherwell!!
Dont think I am bashing all Americans here. I'm not. It's a minority but a minority in US terms, considering the size of your country, is a lot of people. Is it because we Brits live in a small island by comparison that we are more educated in...
