OK all you US GUYS- got to explain-IM NOT bashing America or its people !! This wasnt actually written by me, and its a bit of tongue in cheek Humour,
It was written by an ex Monty Pythoon guy called John Cleese, and was a bit of a parody on the US.

ITS not MY thoughts at all- but I can see by the response it has made a few hairs on the neck bristle-

If that is the case I apologise deeply, NO offence intended at all-

I actually love the USA and all its people - been there many many times in fact to over 28 states, and was even lving there for a while.

It was just a light hearted bit of fun , and yep we dont have a car industry- I agree, and yep we have some strange ways, BUT you guys have some too- OK ?

We "Yanks" can take a good joke with the best of them!

Cheers!

I am sure there is not need to apologise, matey!! Mine was a little tongue-in-cheek also. No matter how carefully you try to word things, its still open to interpretation to a degree....??

And yes, us Brits do have some strange ways, I guess. We like to think of ourselves as "eccentric" but that's only if one has money......... otherwise, one's just plain crazy!!
Tee hee.... laugh

It was easy to see that it was a joke. While I'm not a Python fan, I could tell that it was aimed at humor, not insult.

well Dandy, if i thought you meant it I would have said so - and your right - interpretation is sometimes a thing that depends on your outlook in life,
and as for being eccentric- I probably am too and Im filthy rich as well - SO maybe Im eccentrically crazy rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
