Hah!

I'd love to see a similar one for "How ignorant the Britsih AND Americans are about Canada."

To be clear: we do NOT thank the ATM when it dispenses our cash...





....well, not every time anyway (y)
 
Funny you mention that because the general view is that Americans are ignorant about what's going on outside of the USA.

While many are, I don't believe it's as many as people think.

Canada...that's to the north of us right?
 
I think you get a certain number of idiots in any poll and those reported in the news are often presented in such a way to make them interesting. After all, say you had a question "Do you think Britain should remain in the European Union?" and had the answers "Yes", "Don't Know" and "No" and a third go for each, you could report "Only one third of Britons support membership to the European Union" whereas - really - an equal number expressed a preference for and against.

On the wider question of anti-Americanism, I've a lot of time for America and Americans, but I do think there is a particularly negative stereotype of Americans. The US has certainly done some bad in the world, but they've done good too, like pretty much every country.
 

i'm all for anti-cameronism, the public school pillock thinks that parliament is just an extension of the upper 6th debating society. i think that him and his mate ballbag boris should attempt to beat ben fogle and the other guys rowing feat, and maybe dylan can arrange a mid-atlantic rendezvous with a bloke called death.
it will really make my [Poor language removed] itch when the olympic flag is handed over to doris at the end of the games for safe-keeping until 2012, he'll no doubt have a crystal and vol-au-vent night lined up for his public school bumboys so they can all have their pic taken with it.
 
But who's Cameron's fag, that's the main question. George Osborne? Boris Johnson? William '14 pints a day' Hague?

how can anybody not like dave, he rides a bike you know! :D
 

Lets face it, the vast majority of people are thick as [Poor language removed] (me included) and are ignorent about everything. They convince themselves they know loads about a subject that really they know nothing about. Wether its politics or running a football club!
 
my sis in law thought canada was in france as she'd heard the term 'french canadian', she was 17 at the time and wanted to be a travel agent!! i said to her that there are two types of canadian......french and steak , just to keep the confusion going.
i think she gave up on the travel agent thing when she couldnt find steak in the atlas:D
when we returned from travelling you would be amazed at how many people said ," where's asia ? "
