I think you have bad teeth and a horrible accent which is difficult to understand (especially those that live near Scotland). Actually, I don't really think too much about the English but I do believe USA might have been better off staying a colony.

Hi Seth, some of what you said might be in jest but it sounds like you know little about The UK.

Yea, you have to read later in the thread where I reveal that it is just stereotypes in USA cartoons.  Basically, I was just being a jackass (someone was going to say the bad teeth "joke" plus I wanted a bunch of reply to feel extra special) on the first one but real on the last two parts.  The not being able to understand some British people is legit.  I've been on a few cruises and been to vacations in the Caribbean where I've run into a few that I had decent conversations with. Some I can understand but people of northern England and Scotland I have trouble with.
