Dana - i was not referring to Britain's former empire status at all. i was referring to your obvious condescension to your american brothers and sisters. when i worked at the the British embassy in Riyadh, KSA - we were REGULARLY referred to as "the colonies" in a condescending manner. i unfairly assumed your condescending slams against my educational background were coming from the same misguided, arrogant world view.

Fair enough *smiles* I unfairly made those assumptions about your educational background because the tone of your post was not indicative of one so well educated. I daresay I havent shown myself to the best of my abilities at times either. In terms of attitudes towards Americans . I suppose there is likely an element of "superiority complex" about us Brits....But that's just cause we're better :P
