OK, so Austin Powers does NOT exist. DAMN!!!

Actually, though, I enjoy your wit and levity. Not for taking oneself so DAMN SERIOUSLY, as us Amerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrricans. We need to frikkin lighten up sometimes, well actually, all of the time.

Aren't you all exactly like John Cleese?

I thought most of them were like that little bald guy on the Benny Hill Show.

Actually, I know better. My father-in-law's second wife is from England. She's a wonderful woman. And I went to college with some truly remarkable students from the UK. Ya'll are good folks.

Mike, you and Christina were a pleasant, delightful surprise. Most of the Brits we have met were much more formal than the two of you are.

You are taller than I imagined too. And you talk funny. Other than that, we are all just alike I think. You even like oysters.

What do I not like about Brits? Can't think of a thing..............they can laugh at themselves, and that is something most Americans are not too good at.

Dave and I love England, even though we've only been there twice and in August, so the weather was wonderful, just like home (Pacific Northwest). I feel very much at home there..........must be because of my British roots.

So far, the Brits I've met have been pretty much like people here in my home town. Granted, they talk about tv shows I've never seen, eat foods I've never heard of, and use expressions that I don't always understand (such as "ruddy balmpot"); however, those are such minor details, which just make things more interesting.

It would be nice to hear the voices of some of these posters. I don't think British people are fully cognizant of how their accents affect a lot of Americans; I for one could listen to your people read a phone book, and find it....enthralling. I love to watch Stephen Rea movies, in large part because of that sexy Irish accent.

I wanted to listen to Little Toe's final talk (for more acedemic reasons), but I'm not very good with computers and am not sure how to open the file.

I've had a soft spot for Brits since I picked up my first Ian Flemming novel at about age 12. For the next year or so, I sometimes affected a passable British accent and imagined myself a spy.

As an adult, I discovered a great fondness for the comedy of Rowin Atkinson, Monte Python, Absolutely Fabulous, and others.

In my last congregation, there were three families of ex-Pat Brits and while I liked each of them, I formed a very close friendship with one beautiful soul from Bristol. She came to the US as a nanny (seems rich families like the idea of a Mary Poppins-type), married a citizen, and became a Witness. Once I got to know her, she revealed herself to be a very rebellious sister who didn't much care for the submissive stuff in the congregation. We were two of a kind and I loved her dearly. She developed breast cancer at age 35. She returned to England with her family for treatment, and died there. I still miss her.

I think your accents are kind of strange
but other than that you guys are ok.

After all. The Brits created the best spy shows.

The Prisoner has to be one of the best.
