Okay, I can be loud. But you know, what, I know loud Brits, too. Kevin says the same thing about being in other countries when he hears other Brits. He wants to shrink away in shame.

However, I have ONLY ONCE had someone say something nasty to me, and it was lumping me in with the pro-war Americans. That person was so mean to me, she made me cry. I just think she was a bitter person.

I am almost always treated well here. Sure, I get teased, but the people who tease me (generally co-workers or some friends) say disparaging funny things about the UK, too. They certainly aren't picking on me.

I think people here are fabulous!
