Ah, the Brits...

I have decided that the Brits are very straight forward people, they say exactly what they think. I guess I thought that was true of Americans before I came here, but I now know that is not true. We are much more likely to beat around the bush and be polite, whereas the Brits don't bother with that, they get to the point, and I am having to figure out who is being rude, and who is just plain getting to the point. Oh yes, cultural differences...
