[quote=Anonymous]It predates Trump, although he certainly doesn't help. It dates all the way back to the Revolution when they called us peasant "Jonathan" and ridiculous "Yankee Doodle."

The British upper class has always looked down on Americans. My Cambridge- and Oxford-educated British relatives certainly do. One actually told us, "Americans are the scum of the earth, except for you, of course." Meanwhile, several of my highly educated British relatives have explored moving over here. Go figure....

The Brits also make a hobby winding people up, aka taking the piss. In other words, they're busy insulting each other as much as you.

My cousins came over a year ago and raved about how we rarely honk at each other. They had heard about it back home and were so happy it was true, even when they drove in NYC. London traffic is really bad....

As a kid we used to visit my London relatives and I dreamed of living there. The last few visits everybody was rude and/or falling out of bars drunk and in skimpy outfits in freezing weather. Not to mention the prices. Oh well, I guess I'll just put up with Trump, hopefully it won't be too long now.
