The Cellar - An American Place?

[Sundae]

I'm sorry.
One of my least attractive characteristics is a tendency to brood.

When I mentioned that the Cellar was a US-based forum recently, Flint picked me up on it. I honestly can't find it now. His response - as I remember it - was that it doesn't matter where the forum is based, the internet is international. My point was that to a foreigner, this is a very American place.

This thread is not about proving me right and certainly not about proving Flint wrong. I'm just interested to know if anyone else sees a difference between American/ other posters.

Personally I never realised there was such a difference between Brits & Americans til I came here. And there are many things/ words/ phrases/ products I thought we had in common that we don't. But then I find many things in common that I thought were quite local to me. And certainly many TV programmes I never guessed had crossed the divide.

And you? Have you had any perceptions confirmed or denied? Are we you and you us? Are we really foreigners?

Any input welcome. I'm just lancing a boil.
