# one of my dreams is i would like to own an american diner in london.
not all gimmicky like ed's easy diner or anything like that, just a place that sells american diner food in a nice enviroment. i love diners. i love table service. i love free refills on your coffee. i love waitresses on such a low minimum wage they have to be nice to you as they are counting on your tip to be able to feed their children. i love huge burgers and pea soup with bits of frankfurter floating in it.
america is wonderful.

# americans are ace as long as they're inside america.
i've eaten my way across half of the place and they're the nicest, warmest people in the world. there's just some radiation field around the states that instantly turns americans into loud, ghastly crass berks :)

# Oh cock off.
I'm tired of casual anti-Americanism.

"They're American, though - so what do you expect?!" *lulz*

FFS. Replace "American" with "Indian" and see what happens.

You can't blame 200 million people because you don't like who runs the show, or the tourist that asked a stupid question.

# Not at all.
Try wandering down Brixton high-road making racist jokes, and tell anyone who objects that they're having a sense of humour failure.

I give you five - no - three minutes.

In one situation you can go "opinions on the internet lol" and in the other you run a significant risk of getting your head kicked in.

# I wouldn't say it was casual anti-Americanism.
If anything I'd say we put a fair amount of effort into it.

# I would agree with you
were it not for the fact that roundabout 49-50 million not only voted for George Bush the first time, but then reelected him!

I can't think of another nation that would do this.

# Erm ...
Dint New Labour led by Blair get in twice? Or is it three times now?

Besides which, 50m peeps is, er ... 1/8 the pop.

That's like judging Britain on the behaviour of Scotland.

Would you do the same with tea?

with the added bonus that i, as an englishman know the difference between boiling and boiled water, and do not believe that a tea bag should be reused

# Don't know it it's still there.
But there is/was a great one near Leicester Square. Little place but it even has that old style table top jukebox selector thing with all the old 60's songs.
