You would be amazed at just how much they do know about us and the wider World at large.

Of course, there will be a large proportion of the population whose only knowledge of the World is gleaned from their TV screen - but surely you can say the same thing about a large proportion of the population of this country and their view about America ?”

As a matter of interest what part of the States does your wife come from?

Her Dad was in the forces so she moved around a fair bit.

The areas I know of are Washington DC, Seattle, North Carolina and Florida.

There are bound to be more, she'll drop a 'when I lived in ...' line every now and then that throws me !

That's weird as the younger brother of that friend of mine who married a Russian woman was once married to a woman from NC

By no stretch of the imagination have I been 'all round' The States but, so far, NC is my favourite.

I was treated like a long lost son when I was there - even given a knife and fork to eat my burger with !

Yes thats right - Uncle Kenny - he was great and hilarious.

Do you keep in touch with him?

Also why is Kessingland not fun? You have chosen to live there?

Are you mad??? They sound incredibly different to me, and I'm British.

I usually like to play a little game called 'spot the Canadian' when watching American TV. I'm quite good at it too.

That's not a joke. I do.
