We did walk by a lawn where they had anti-Bush signs and stuff, but that had zero to do with me personally...I didn't vote for the goober. LOL Other than that, I saw no Anti-American sentiments. The fact that I hear they have a Thanksgiving menu at some restaurants for tourists is pretty cool. I don't remember what I ate on Thanksgiving there last year, but it was probably some American fast food. LOL  I remember the day before I left, I went to buy an additional bag for my souveniers...and the clerk was VERY attentive and sweet to me.  I don't recall one rude encounter with anyone (sans drunk guy). |
I never thought the Brits were anti-American either, and am glad that you had a good experience. Maybe it's just because my friend lives on base and it's possible that the Brits around the bases have had enough with the Americans there.
My cousin has also been over there, and says he really thinks it's where you're at. He's told me most places are friendly, but he had a few slurs in other parts... None the less, it is on my list-to-do-before-I-die. I would love to see England.
