Kaol's right enough
I'm quite happy to be a Brit. Why be anyone else? Despite its faults the UK is still one of the best countries in the world in which to live.

We have few climatic extremes, a stable political system, a sound economy (yes, I know it's up the creek at the moment, but compare it to the rest of the world), relatively low crime and corruption and so on.

And up in this northern end of the country, we have lots of nice scenery and fewer people to spoil it.

What's not to like?

As for being American, yes, I love it over there. I make frequent trips over the Atlantic. I have many good friends in the US. But their politicians should all be shot.

The American attitude as a nation (not as individuals) to the rest of the world means they are hated by much of the rest of the planet.

I wouldn't like that.
