I really love you British people. I've been to Scotland, Wales and England. I live in Canada, which is quite pleasant, as long as one doesn't travel to the U.S.

Thx Jack. 
Unfortunately I always seem to take a wrong turn somewhere over the Atlantic when heading West.

Scottish people are generally the most friendly people. The Irish are too.
For all the Americans get a bad reputation every time I've been over I've had a great time.
I didn't like the amount of racism apparent in Washington DC, but usually all the Americans I've met have been friendly and fun.

No idea as I can't understand a word of what they are saying. Seems like every sentence has the words "nae bother" in it, which I don't understand, either.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

No, doesn't help. I am from the 'home counties' so don't have an accent! I say 'barth' and 'graass'.
My parents were both from London, though, so I drop my 'H's; like 'ope' and 'otel'. It's also bloody 'ot' today!

Scotish people are really friendly... once you figure out that when they call you a c**t it means they like you!

That's a fascinating insight.
I worked for a US domiciled company for over 12 years, and whenever we all got together I generally found my Canadian colleagues had a much better grip on what was happening in the world at large than those from the US. I was amazed how many of the Americans didn't actually have a passport!
My uncle Ken went to Glasgow once and thought everyone was talking to him - he kept hearing d'you ken!
