Oh you are not right....but what does being an American mean?
We drive German and Japanese cars to the detriment of our own auto industry.(think millions in government bailouts the past few years)
Irish pubs in any other place except Ireland are based upon decor and atmosphere, drunks are the same the world over.
As for Belgan beer, it's hard to find a decent American brewery these days, all the bars seem to have are foreign brands. (this is a good thing, think National Bohemian beer the next time you see a sink full of dirty dishwater, yuck).
I love a good Indian Curry, but America eats fast food, much of it owned by French or German financial consortiums.
As for Swedish funiture, can anyone say Ikea isn't a big hit in America? My CD racks are made by them, best investment I ever made.
As for Japanese televisions, the Korean ones are worse. Does America even make televisions anymore? As for the programs, you do have a point. I feel sorry for the poor Englishman who has to sit and watch such American drivel, we all hate it so much it has to be exported. (while we watch Benny Hill reruns here)
The English have enough of their own problems, I give you kidney pie and Spam as an example...oh wait, the latter we foisted off on them. Sorry.

Very true, Brody, but that's the world we live in today.
A while ago, when travelling across to Christchurch, we stopped at Arthur's Pass for a break. I was sitting outside, in the car-park, when it struck me - there i was in the middle of NZ, outside a Swiss-style chalet restaurant, drinking Brazillian coffee and with an Australian cigarette, surrounded by Japanese cars, listening to a Scottish Piper and watching an English Robin Red-Breast pecking through discarded MacDonalds' wrappers.

I know nothing about these new-fanged cars; I trot along to the local working men's club in my pony and trap for a pint of good Scottish Belhaven Best. My diet consists solely of Aberdeen Angus beef, Tweed salmon and minced Sassenach. I go home to my nice comfy tartan rug on the floor, and read the guid book (the poems of Rabbie Burns) until the candle burns down. I can't imagine where you get those other silly ideas from!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

The wonders of the world with the convenience of one's local neighbourhood.
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

Cossie probably meant 'mincing' Sassenach, not that I agree with that either.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
