# well
I am 43, and often feel like I have heard it all

# aw
it's ok :)

I've just always thought of a fiver as being a five pound note. That's probably an assumption too

I think some of us are more international. Having lived in other countries a lot, I really think americans tend to be very egotistical in general, but that could just be me.
