Welcome to the World of American Business

1. Wearing those eighties shirts. You know the ones. The coloUred stripey ones with white collar and cuffs. Suck!
2. Wearing sunglasses on the underground. Suck!
3. Being apologetic when they get in your way, but making no effort to not be in the way in the first place. SUCK!
4. Bring me your poor, your weary, your downtrodden, and we'll put them to work at supermarket checkouts. SUCK!
5. Cab drivers for driving like fucking loonies and not knowing where they're going even though it's only two blocks away.
6. War veterans thinking they have a right to beg me for money. It's not my fault their government is fucking stupid for sending them there in the frist place.
7. Being refused entry to a bar becuase you haven't got photo ID, even though you look fifty, because you ARE fifty.

Things that are funny about America(ns).
1. Playing the 1812 Overture as the climax of the July 4th celebrations. The 1812 being about the napoleonic wars. Presumably they don't play the
yellow rose of texas because it doesn't quite hit the spot. Hah!
2. Buskers on the underground. The act really surprised when they don't get any money, even though they are very good. I thought that was the point of
busking?
3. Shop assistants who eagerly ask if you require and help, then go on to prove that they know fuck all about anything.
4. Budweiser really does look like piss when taken out of the bottle.

Things that are cool about America.
1. Pool halls the size of football pitches. Need I say more.
