Reminds me of when I was last in the US. Went to a shop and there must have been a few Brits around because the shop owner laughed "It's the Brit invasion!"

The customers laughed when I said "Nah. You chucked us out a couple of hundred years ago". ;)


The irony is that it was all over some tea tax. Now we talk about how we are free, but we have the number 1 incarceration rate, pay federal income tax, state income tax, property tax, personal property tax, vehicle licence registration fees, gas tax, ad valoreum tax, Internet tax, e911 Tax, County bonds, Sales Tax, Hospitality Tax, Luxury Tax, etc.

You need a permit to build a home, improve a home, install an air conditioner, open a business, for a restaurant to connect to a sewer, to drill a well, to put in a dock or septic tank...

We talk an awful lot about freedom, when we Americans really don't have any more freedoms than anybody else in the world.

Wow. And I thought the tax situation in the UK was bad.......:eek:
 
One of the most frightening moments of my life was a direct hit on the roof of my house!
My ears rang for 2 hours!
I can imagine how loud that must've been!

Closest I've experienced was a lightning strike about 300 yards away, which shook the house and sounded like a bomb blast.

The really ironic thing about the strike (which had me laughing for days) was that the building it hit was a church. Fortunately nobody was hurt but it completely destroyed one of the church's spires and part of the roof (when the spire came crashing through it). The church campaigned for donations to fix the damage shortly after. Apparently 'acts of god' weren't covered by their insurance! :D
