And here we are criticizing the smugness of the English. :rolleyes:
Pastime.
Thank you. Noted for future use of that word.
Let’s start with you offering a premise, or an example, or some sort of actual assertion; then I will be happy to respond.
If only there were some way to get everything else about Neopolitan while also getting the crust fully cooked, that would be a winner. Doughy base + melted cheese is a little too much mushiness for me.

England isn’t hip enough, and would never fit in Oregon.
Well played. 
No, they’re for keeping the King of England out of your face.
But what if the next time I am in the states I get shot by some idiot and then get bankrupted by the medical bills? As a global traveler I do indeed have a stake in keeping abreast of the particular idiocies of the countries I visit.
In these modern times should you really be so blase about the fact that the rest of the world is able to think globally while you seemingly are not?
The difference is that it’s cute when I do it.
And spotted dick. Which I assume is some form of venereal disease.
When done well, amazingly delicious and addictive venereal disease.
You choose to come here, correct? If you place money or sightseeing above, as you seemingly see it, your personal safety, then maybe you should change your priorities. You are not your job, you know.
Just for shiggles, on any of your (presumably numerous) trips to the US, how many times have you even seen a gun, other than on a police officer’s hip, a store shelf, or a TV screen?
Which I assume you get from performing some sort of perverted act they euphemistically refer to as “toad in hole.”
If global travel is important to you, perhaps you should buy travel insurance. It’s cheap. Surely you’re responsible enough to pull off the simple act of buying insurance.
And? That I can change the size of the stake I have does not negate that there is a stake on at least some level.
My favorite was the retired guy in Louisville with the basement full of guns. A very nice old man who showed us his collection and let us fire some of them at a range. Horribly racist though, which is unfortunate.
What does that have to do with gun laws? Even when I have insurance I still prefer not to get shot.
Only if we re-define stake so broadly as to lose any legitimate meaning.
So, once? And in a non-threatening, recreational setting? That is some powerful incentive for us to revamp our laws to suit you, right there.
I prefer not to get killed by a drunk driver, too, but I wouldn’t go work in Ireland and spend my time insulting the Irish for being drunk yahoos who kill each other on the roads a lot. It is indisputably true that Ireland has a significant problem with drunk driving, more so than most countries, but If I came into your workplace in Ireland and starting mouthing off about the drunken Irish careening around the roads killing people, that would be an act of monumental assholery.

Of course we have racists. Quaint, olde english racists who we ignore, and eccentric buffoons who we mock.
