Not many people know Cardiff Bay as Tiger Bay anymore. Nice job!

Tiger Bay was the area where the Senedd/Assembly now is, not Cardiff as a whole. I used to drink down there occasionally with Somalis who didn't know the Prophet was against it, like all my great-aunts. Incidentally, they eat lavabread in Bristol too, though they call it laver.

Me and relatives in Canada, Belarus, and Russia generally have the tact to not crow to each other about how our respective countries might be superior. Don't think I'd ever go on a UK internet forum and run my mouth about how USA is superior. But it doesn't bother me if others don't practice that level of tact and class.

I would actually love to visit the UK, and there are a lot of things I admire about the English, Scots, and Welsh. I recently watched a video lecture series about the history of England, from Roman times up to through the Tudor era...and I loved every minute of it. English history has so much more depth and texture than what passes for American "history".

Love the fish and chips, and the pub culture too!

Well, fair play now, we admire lots of stuff about the 'States, and the last thing I'd ever do is start a thread in praise of my own culture - fortunately we know it's superior and don't need to boast. I just join in when people are being rude, because I like a punch-up. Never met an American I didn't like, incidentally - what bothers me are all those mad brothers they keep in the cellar with computers!

23. The English accent is more attractive than the American accent. This is just an indisputable fact of nature.
