I really can't see hwy Americans court so much criticism.
I have visited three times now and can honestly say that I did not meet an American I did not like.
My trip last week was exteremely pleasant to Boston and New Hampshire.
The people are great, they are polite, interested in you and hospitable, service is fantastic, it is a pleaure to drive over there , people are far less aggressive on the roads than over here, the roads are great the cars are great, car parks do what they say on the tin with big wide bays. Food is high quality and good value.
I felt safer there than anywhere I have visited in this country, the people are trustworthy.
Just by way of an example, my softt 23 yr old son brought a new camera and two new 80gig video ipods one for him and one for his mate. Driving back to Boston Logan we stopped off at a town for Lund (Concord as it happens) and he left his bag with the camera two ipods and his wallet on the back of the chair in Starbucks (or similar) probably $700 dollars worth. 40 miles on he discovers the problem, we have to turn around and go back.
Now I am not saying that we would not have got the bag and contents back in Liverpool or anywhere else, we might have, but I just knew we would, on that occasion, and so did the rest of the family, and indeed we did ..........waiting on the counter for us.
I know you are probably soliciting these sort of comments V, but why not.
I love America and Americans, and until someone does me a bad turn that is how it will stay.
Granted some of the politicians are twats, but so are most of ours.
