An American user posted a question asking "Why are people in England so rude?". She then explained the problems she had in England:

- In McDonalds she had to explain what she meant when she wanted to pay by Debit Card. She was then told that she "obviously couldn't".

- In a pharmacy she had to explain what Advil was.

- The pharmacist then had the cheek to ask what other medication she was on, and when the American refused to say, she was told she couldn't be served.

The problem is, the person who posted the question obviously didn't know that:

- In the UK you cannot pay with cards in any McDonalds, and very few people refer to any cards as 'debit cards', so the cashiers confusion was understandable.

- Outside of the USA, Advil is called Ibuprofen.

- UK law says that pharmacists must make sure you aren't on anything that will react badly with what they give you.

Why don't Americans realise that things are different outside of America? How can they be so ignorant?

So what's the fascination with Cornwall as a vacation destination? Why do the English think it's that great? People who could go to the continent, or to New York or Miami, time and again, choose Cornwall...........why?

I did the ghost tour there a few months ago, and although the guide scared the pants out of the group at the end of the tour, I found the whole concept fascinating. Whats the story behind the misogynistic violent poltergeist down there? Who was he supposed to be? What other history can anyone tell me of the Vaults?

No sarky comments please - I just want to know the history of it all.
