Okay...so I'm a celebrated American who LOVES England and the UK in general. My boyfriend is from NEWCASTLE....now THAT'S a laugh to hear the Geordies talk!

Sorry you think it's 'hilarious' that we admire your dialects, it's really a compliment to the British that we do!

Yup, I like the fact that when people ask questions about chavs Americans respond with "What is a chav?" instead of looking it up to see what it is first.
And if you are an American reading this, please check out:
