but it's a serious question. Why do Americans always bleat about we should conform to there ways when we do business or visit them. Yet are totally unable to conform to ours.

Couple of years ago Eva, my Mum who lives in California and I were in Rome and met some Americans. The topic of the conversation was their travels around Europe. They were so lucky in London because there was a MacDonald's and Pizza Hut close to the hotel, Paris they hated because no one spoke English and Rome was alright because they could eat spaghetti. I'm sure they think spaghetti and pizzas are American inventions.

But it shows an attitude so well. Travel 6,000 miles to eat pizzas and burgers in the food capitols of the world.
