bad news for hoteliers and retailers of model post office boxes and union jack T-shirts
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11460335
but fantastic news for the general British public - can we persuade them to take Macdonnalds back too, and eradicate the word "orrrsommmmme" ?

It's "get in the hole" I can't stand, do they shout that everywhere they go?0

The ''orrsommmme'' bit is a bit unfair since the word clearly patches over a gaping big hole in the British imagination. Though I'm sure it will end up sounding as dated as ''perfectly spiffing''0

Although actually, as I was a student at Edinburgh uni, he had a point.
*never mind what happens if someone asks where you live & you reply that "I stay in Dundee", which is how Scots usually say it. Cue disbelieving "what, even for hoildays?" responses0 -

but anything said in a lovely New England accent sounds so much better, one of the nicest accents in the english speaking world I think.0 -

Does that include Boston?
Ask them to say "mirror". Go on, I dare you!

Many years ago walking along the Glen Nevis road an Amurrican couple in a car stopped to ask for directions for the top of Ben Nevis - they said they'd seen a photo of a car on the summit - of an Austin 7 carried up by students in the 30s..
I was in the tourist office in Dublin when a flustered girl from over there rushed-in requesting directions for a bus to Luton Airport as she'd to catch a plane in a few hours....she'd didn't understand the concept of Ireland being a different country on the other side of the Irish sea..Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0 -
I furkin hate the American accent as a 'language' but I'd far rather listen to it than Glaswegian for the rest of my life, at least I can converse!
Do you think it'll have that much effect though? Americas hardly a safe haven and far fewer legitimate targets exist in Britain, just make sure you don't visit England and you'll be fine.0
