Formally English Trekkies? On many of the forum sites i've been on they are all American usually, however many of you are British to my knowledge, so own up British members

I had assumed you were American, as you once said you were putting up a fence against Deer i believe, somone in the UK would most likely not have to do that, and im sure somone who is British will view this Topic differantly

Those deer are still a problem!!! Where I live is far from any large cities.
You have me wondering about the differences and similarities of English Trek fans vs American ones.

I didn't know you were from the UK dax123 and I did not know about the difference in accents either. I really don't give it much thought where a person is from as much as who they are!

I really don't give it much thought where a person is from as much as who they are! Well spoken, though, based personal experience, I must admit I have prejudices against Americans.

I have had some bad conversations with some americans when i lived in canada for two years when i was seveon. They seemed to think they were better than canadians and that seriously anoyed me. But i know that is not true of all americans and i have many american friends.

Yeah, it is a very unfortunate thing that many Americans act as their country, beliefs, and society is the best in world.
And it is just bloody frustrating to have a discussion with a mid-western bible-chewing republican hypocritical red-neck. And there is a lot more of them than you suspect.
I makes me believe in the advantages of euthanasia.
Sorry to all you nice Americans on this forum, but that is just my unfortunate experience.

No offense taken! I don't care much for a lot of people from my own country, I'm sorry to say, but I must be truthful in these matters!

Well, there is only one thing to do then;
Sing Rammstein's Amerika loud and clear.
We're all living in Amerika Amerika ist wunderbar We're all living in Amerika Amerika Amerika

You would be surprised at how the accent differs from city to city in England, personally i have the good old stereotypical British accent and grammar that somone would most likely use if they were going to do an impression of an Englishman.

I realize that some of you have had bad experience with people from the USA, but just because some Americans are arrogant jerks doesn't mean we all are!! Blind prejudice is an immoral and idiotic attitude to have!!!! I'm not accusing anyone here of this, but simply stating a fact!!!
