You do so have grits - you call it polenta. Speaking of Euphemistic English, in America, people who marry relatives are called 'hillbillies'. In Average Britain they're called 'royalty'.

But we don't have the death penalty, we don't have as many fat people (percentage wise of course, because we don't have as many people), we don't eat grits (we put that on the road when it snows), if someone's injured in a road accident the paramedics ask for their name not if they have insurance and we have a prime minister who can speak in sentences, knows where other places are and didn't buy his university degree. (not that he's any bloody good at anything other than being George Bush's poodle) Oh yes, and the party that wins most seats in Parliament gets the chance to form a government. As I understand it in the US you get your brother to fix the vote for you. Randall Northam On Friday, Jan 17, 2003, at 00:48 Europe/London, malmo wrote: > Brits eat jellied eels and fried Mars bars.
