I'm still a little baffled as to why the Y word is considered offensive so will have to guess it has slavery overtones? I've just never known the Y word to be used as an offensive name, that's all. I've just questioned a few friends and family members too who all agree that it is just used as a friendly nickname for US citizens in this country and has been for generations, a bit like we're called Limeys from the scurvy and syph ridden sailing days when our gallant press ganged teenage boys were sent off to die at sea in the name of our glorious empire. No offence taken or implied.

The P word or the N word I can understand, that somehow implies a misguided white supremacy, the Y word is used for something altogether different. Geoff meant no harm.

Why would an American (US) citizen want to live in the sh!tty UK is even more baffling? I can understand Krazy_Z and Dawn who are merely here because that was where they were posted to save us from the former Commies who have now decided to become Neo Nazis, but for God's sake ... why would anyone from the USA choose to live in Broken Britain? It's crap! I'd be off to the States in a shot if I had any skills that would actually get me a wage over there, even my Missus would be keen to go. Most of the Y .. err I mean Americans I've spoken to on my holidays over the last 6 or 7 years have said their country is going down the pan ... they haven't been over here have they? Jeez it's sh!t here and just to compound matters - you can't even buy a decent model of People's Car for under £30k!!!
B*ll*cks, I'm off to visit the US embassy right now, f*ck Britain ...

most americans don't care its a small minority that do.. and its probably down to alot not been taught or understand their countries history.

i don't care when close friends call me it but i know they say it in gest but wouldnt call an american stranger it.

its going back to the civil war and american history in general and i guess now i take it as a lack of respect to brand everyone under the same name when were not.. in that meaning alone you would be branding me a racist white american.. when im not.. i know you dont mean it that way.. but thats down to some not understanding the history behind it or its become so mainstream.. probably due to the ny yankees?

yeah it is going down the pan over there.. its hard work but ill be moving back when ive sold up the businesses, i do think this country would be alot better if it was more patriotic like it used to be, have better weather like the warmer european countries which would allow people to be more social and interact after work.. everyone these days seems to be indoors. wake up, go work, drive home, stay in front of the tv lol.

reason im here in the first place is my granddad was posted over here in the war as he was a pilot in the air force, he was kia so grandmother stayed over here but going back and 2 all the time... i still go to the family reunions in PA but as the older generation are passing away it be comes less and less as all my generation are all over the states so its harder for everyone to get together..
