May 24, 200620 yr People there don't care much for Americans. It's not like I'm acting a twat, all they have to do is hear me speak and it starts. Very racist. Pubs are the worse, but the underground is pretty bad as well.

May 24, 200620 yr It's every where in the UK. One day I went to the National Gallery and there happened to be an anti war protest going on at Trafalgar Square which quickly turned into an antiBush/antiamerican rally. I thought I was gonna get killed when I open up my yap and ordered a bottle of water from a vender outside and people there heard me talk. I have learned to just smile and not speak much over there.
