When I first moved to the US I remember being surprised at how little the Americans say "please" or "thank you" and now I wonder why my fellow Brits say it so much. Oh yeah, too funny.

I'm not a bit technical but others have been able to post today. I have often wondered why Americans find the "sorry" thing so annoying. I don't say it as much as I used to though. Hmmm.

My brother's partner is from USA and never EVER says please. He's been out there so long, he doesn't say it much either and finds us all too polite when he comes back to visit, though his real bugbear is that we're all forever saying sorry to each other!

People are supposed to feel the anger that jumping the queue brings on. Most Brits can feel it, and some are even brave enough to ignore it as they know no-one will say anything. Will have to give this all some thought for a post. I think Janet has discovered the ancient British art of “seething”. People are supposed to feel the anger that jumping the queue brings on.

There again we have a variety of frowns, mildly displeased (straight liney mouth) Disappointed with the weather, line on forehead, mousey mouth...I might do a post on all these soon :-) Aaah that’s the stiff upper lip you see – when furious we frown when others act!

You'll enjoy this one. In Oxford, American tourists often jump the queue for the park & ride bus I take to get in and out of the city. The Brits in the queue will frown but say nothing. *I* am the one who tells the line jumpers that "there's a queue here..." and sends them to the back of the line! Janet Sephe,
