can i just say quickly haha kjackson i still cant fathem why you like the bbc isuppose it is good for the news even though i dont watch it

why do you love the UK? A specific region/part more than others?
well i suppose it would have to be the countryside mainly devonshire and wales. i cant say much about the culture as i never see what obvi the rest of the world see. i do like our food, i do love the good old english breakfast and roast dinner/.and i love the fact we dont have to like sport yay i dont understand sport and am not preasured to have to. i do like seeing the old english towns and villages as i live in one myself the buildings and atmosphere makes the whole village seem at ease. the weather is not to bad and its kinda nice having to look forward to the nice weather and having an ecuse to look like a tourist in your own country trying to soak the sun up.

Have you ever been?
nope never.... ok maybe i live in the uk

What drew you to the UK in the first place?
well i was made here ... ewww horid thought... well we moved around the world alot with my dad being in the royal navy but i have always felt out of place until i come home to the uk i dont know why

But nobody else does...?? Or maybe it's just the bias Americans take over there: "What? NO MCDONALDS?! And you call yourselves "civilised??" (sorry, that would be "civilized")

When I set up my new computer I had it localise everything to English (United Kingdom)...so now all my word processing software automatically corrects "organization" as "organisation" or "favorite" as "favourite"...drives my professors and other students crazy.

LOL I was told by a fellow student:
Them: "YES, Kelsie, you are a snobby (expletive)!"
Me: "But why???"
Them: "WHY?? You and your "culture" and your "Britishness"...and your (expletive) weird SPELLING! This is America: we write in English!"
Me: "But don't you see? It is English: the ORIGINAL English!!!"
Them: "IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!! THIS IS AMERICA!!!"
