Dude....if you're a "writer" learn to freakin spell. You are an
American, get used to it, and PLEASE don't
embarrass yourself (and the rest of this country) by copping a fake
accent and saying things like "shite".
WHY would you want British flag briefs? That is what I'm getting
at,....have you actually BEEN to the UK?
Or is this some Anglophile escapist fantasy? Capitalism is rather
"rampant" over there as well.
A) Nobody in America will believe you're English, regardless of your
seatcovers or fake accent.
B) I rather damn sure you won't pull the wool over an Englishman's eyes
either.
But hey,....good luck,....and uh, don't say I didn't warn you...
