The contempt you Brits hold for those in the free world is nothing short of contemptible. I found this in a diary... "An evening or two ago I had put on a white waistcoat for coolness, and while walking past with my thumbs in my waistcoat pockets (a habit I have), one man, seated in the cart, and looking like an American, commenced singing some vulgar nonsense about 'I had thirteen dollars in my waistcoat pocket.' I fancied it was meant for me, and my suspicions were confirmed; for while walking round the garden in my tall hat this afternoon, a 'throw-down' cracker was deliberately aimed at my hat, and exploded on it like a percussion cap. I turned sharply, and am positive I saw the man who was in the cart retreating from one of the bedroom windows." kokonino.com
