[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump hasn't even bothered to visit GB, our closest ally.  Yeah, they're pretty miffed about it.  We would be too, honestly.[/quote]

America can in London here, actually they don't want him to visit. 
I'm not finding people to be rude, we moved from D.C. On year ago and have been welcomed.

[b]Most rudeness is actually stated ironically, if done well, you should't realize the speaker is being rude at all.[/b] [/quote]

The bolded is the worst part about the British rudeness.

[b]They throw shade, massive amounts of shade.  They don't want to be called out on it and think they are so clever if they do it well so the person they are making a snide remark to doesn't catch onto their rudeness. [b] It's the height of arrogance.[/b]

No, its just a cultural difference, which you as an American interpret as arrogance. It really isn't. There is plenty of arrogance within the uk of course (I am one of the brits who has contributed to this thread and live in the US) but that particular quirk is a social thing amongst all classes, educated or not. Its just not something you are used to.

When I go back to the UK I do find more "negativity" and living in the US i experience more "positivity", there is an overwhelming can-do attitude here, especially when times get tough. I absolutely love that.[/quote]

Okay then, arrogance is part of the British culture.  Yup, I'd say you're right there.

Did you even read what was written?   You are in danger of up holding that horrible cliche of "stupid american". Come on now![/quote]

Not the PP, but I agree completely with him or her.  The "shade" described (in bold) is not funny, clever, or cute.  It may be part of "British culture," but it's not an appealing part.  [/quote]
