I have a number of friends and family there and go quite often, its a great place to visit but id never move there
The longer I stay there the more the shine comes off, America is very superficial, shiny & lovely on the outside and old decrepit falling to pieces on the inside

You're totally right about tipping once had a waitress chase me out of a restaurant because I tipped less than 15% i just rounded it up and thought that's over 10% which is crazy to me

I don't think Obama was weak, but he wasn't a "balls" out kinda guy

Also agree with you about the footie, I know a number of expats out there, play footie when I go over and they love Orlando, quite the atmosphere too

Kamala Harris is a very educated lawyer but respected too. I do a lot of business with Americans and live near some very educated ones in top jobs - they all rate Harris. I think Biden though will initially heal the wounds and help stop the divide!

Trouble is over there - there’s a lot of hilly billy type of loonies and they are nutters. You would never want to put your middle finger up over there if you were cut up on the road - that’s for sure!

I do like the USA though as spend a lot of time over there and been to lots of Orlando games - crowds are fanatical! I wish I was there now in the sun with a good book! Sunshine - what’s that!
