    No replies or rebuttals from some of our American friends who are Members on this Forum, would be interesting to hear from our American brethren, Regards Frank.

    There are some American rebuttals on the Snopes site.

    They are not as clever as the original British version.

    It'll be 4 years in Feb. and I haven't had the chance to pick on anyone yet because I have yet to really meet one!

    ..............."All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts"...........

    As an American member of the forum (still residing in the USA) I can confirm that this appears to have been going on the States for a number of years........ perhaps the Brits are behind recent electoral events and the rondabouts were simply foreshadowing? :-)

    Seriously though, I've read this 'letter' before, am well aware of the rest of the world and (either in spite of that or because of it, TBD) find it to bring a smile to my face every time I read it.

    Isn't John Cleese a kind of closet star in the USA?

    Monty Python made the album "Contractual Obligations" because they were legally obliged to by their record company. Their intention was to offend Americans as much as possible. But, the Americans lapped it up.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Yeah he's pretty big over there due to film and tv roles.

    I'd expect he would be... I think he is about 6ft somethin...

    But when he gets on his milk crate, he'd be closer to 7ft...
