America & UK

It never fails to make me chuckle inwardly when I see the news from over here about the 'special relationship' we are supposed to have between us and the Americans. Ermmmmmm...it only exists in OUR eyes as the Americans dont think any more highly of us than they do about any other country.

I've spent a lot of time over there over the last few years and when you are watching CNN , or Fox or any of the miriad of different news channels over there, they mention 'Eurpoe' and mention Germany, France, Holland, Italy etc etc but does the UK get a mention? VERY rarely, and then its an afterthought type thing. Obviously its a fact that most ppl know that 63% of Americans dont have a passport but I would have no hesitation in saying if you showed 90% of all Americans a map of the world and asked them to pinpoint where the UK is they wouldnt have a clue.

So, the next time you see Cameron or whoever else harping on about how the Americans and the UK have this so-called 'Special Relationship' , just remember _ _ _ We Dont.
