I’ll go. I’m still proud of every American who has held in there through these 8 years and not given up on turning things around. We know what it is to live free and despite all the obstacles ahead there is still places that you can experience it.

    I guess my experience is skewed toward the Netherlands as being the most recent. Had a boss from the UK who was a total secret softy. Also a manager from a different department who was your cliche hard ass but maybe it’s just me, I could always get him to lighten up.

      Brits arent hard nuts to crack if you can handle the banter. Insulting you is their way of creating emotional intimacy. If you laugh with them you’ll get on fine with most of them.

      Speaking of the topic of this post, actually, that’s something I don’t like about Americans. We’re too soft when it comes to taking a joke about ourselves.
