How long have councils been handing out driving licences? BTW, it's only spelt license in the States.

I think I'd put money on that "editoriial" having originated in the US, probably on some right-wing fundamentalist Christian blog.

 

As already pointed out, "In God we trust" is much more American than British.

"Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation" also sounds like something that an American would say.

"Our Flag, Our Pledge"? What pledge is that, then? U.S. again.

 

Isn't "Fair go" an Australian expression? How did that get in there?

 

If you Google a sentence from that so-called British tabloid article you'll find it on forums and blogs all over the net, but can you find it on any of the tabloid sites?

 

I can however, easily find versions with "London" replaced by America, Australia, and Canada, and in every case the poster couldn't be bothered to remove the Americanisms....

 

 

Not worth arguing about :)
