Answer 1

Devon is my favorite county in England
The Mersy runs through Liverpool
Watford is a premiership football team, though admittedly on the bottom and wont last there.
I have to admit I dont recall Daphnes home city. Is it Leeds maybe?
The Great Britian Pound is the currency
How did I do?

Answer 2

I'm a Yank who has been to England and Scotland and loves the people and culture (And football. I'm a big Donny Rovers supporter). Doing all this from memory (I've had a couple strokes so the memory may fail).

Counties (Shires): Yorkshire, Cumbria, Cornwall, Northumberland, Kent, Shropshire, Devon, Lancashire. That's all I can think of and I'm not sure they're all correct.

The river Mersey runs through Liverpool. Any fan of Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers knows that.

Premiership (Let's cal a spade a spade. First division.) Arsenal. West Ham. Liverpool. Bolton. Middlesbrough. Chelski (Sorry, Chelsea). Aston Villa. Charlton Athletic. Fulham. Everton. Manchester United. Portsmouth. Newcastle. Wigan. Reading. Sheffield United. Tottenham. Watford. Blackburn. Manchester City. Pretty sure that's all of 'em. Don't ask for the lower divisions.

Daphne sounds sort of like a Liverpudlian but I don't really watch the show very much.

The currency is the pound. The decimal pound, to be more precise. Fairly easy for a Yank to understand after a bit.

Miss the UK very much and can't wait to return, hopefully on a permanent basis. Absolutely wonderful place.

Answer 3

1. Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey, East Sussex, Kent, Essex, Herts, London, Bucks, Oxon, Glauchestershire, Warrickshire (love Warrick castle!) Worchestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, do I really need to go on???

2. Mersey

3. Not a fan, sorry to say, but Manchester United? That's the only team I've heard of.

4. Never watched Frasier.

5. The Pound, maybe someday to be the Euro... :-P

Answer 6

One for you.

1) Can you name any of America's counties--we have counties in our states.

2) What river runs along Louisville?

3) Name a premier football team.

4) In Cheers, what city is the character Diane from?

5) What was the currency of the Confederacy?

I've always considered myself an Anglophile, but I resent you judging US citizens based on what they know about your country. I say "US citizens" to help you with your "North" American issue.

Answer 7

i hit upon the time period Yank extremely offensive. it would want to be the equivalent of calling British "Limeys" which i might want to by no ability do. I honestly could disagree with the poster that compared it to calling an Englishman a Brit. it really is a lot more effective derogatory than that. contained in the u . s . a Yankee is in consumer-friendly words someone who lived contained in the northern colonies that fought contained in the Civil warfare. it really is a time period extremely in consumer-friendly words used by way of human beings in southern states (those that fought contained in the civil warfare and lost).

Answer 8

I think #5 is the pound,
#3 is soccer to us.
#2 "liverpool" is a bad neighborhood.

Answer 10
