    Well, I'm English, and this is definitely for the English as well. There are Tesco products in the food lists!

    I'm a stickler for good grammar and spelling,

    Then it must drive you bonkers that most people on here think "alot" is a word.

    I live in Hastings, East Sussex.
    Your kidding!







    ...I really enjoy your brand of kidding around, that is to say. :P

    Except for the Danish, of course. No one wants THEM around.

    (I kid, my Danish friends! I have a good Internet friend from Danelandia, and he jokes about how Americans are all ignorant jerks who know nothing of the world around them while I reinforce his stereotypes by joking about how Denmark is a province in Sweden and the capital is IKEA.)

    My father's Dutch, my mother's German, I went to 12 different schools on two continents and now I'm living in (Northern) Ireland. I'm not really "from" anywhere.

    It is thinking like this that makes the U.S. a running joke with the rest of the world. Get out of your box and learn about the world instead of hating it.

    BTW I am a U.S. citzen living in Canada which in my opinion is much more open and accepting of the one race we are all part of.....THE HUMAN RACE.

    How enlightened of you.

    Seriously, I think this sort of thing could catch on, if only people had heard about it before. I suggest we start a PR campaign right away for these valiant ideals and whatnot.

    Finally someone with a sense of humor!!! This Thread was getting a little too heated at times. I was born and raised in the United States, and have never even been outside of the Country, and yes I am very proud to be an American. MFP is a site where hopefully all of us can put our differences aside and concentrate on the goals we all share.....getting fit, or losing weight. We might actually learn something from each other about our different cultures and foods, from the wide range of friends and their respected Countries that are represent on here. Hoping everyone has a great day or night, wherever you are
