Hilarious. I got this on my email (in Canada!) sometime ago. It made me laugh then, and it made me laugh now.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sasha,
Oh my, there are going to be a large number of confused Americans especially with the language change and the change in driving. Please forget the part about driving because our insurance will surely go up and Lord knows prices are high enough.But beware, your really stepping on toes when you remove football from America's scene.
Delightful write. I loved the (humour!) Thank you for sharing.

I don't drive so that won't be a problem for me. Americans hate change and are going to have a lot of trouble adjusting...lol

Considering the number of petitions for succession that have been circulated (some have already received the 24,000 signatures necessary for White House comment) since the election, I'm not certain that Her Majesty will meet with much resistance on this side of the pond. Thoroughly entertaining, Sasha. :) nancy

I am glad you got a kick out of this one. Americans hate change and adjusting to this will be quite tricky.

Especially for those who have spent their lives defending the Constitution. To see our country given that final push into Socialism is difficult to swallow. :D Nancy

Oh yes Rule Britannia
Well over half the Americans have English names anyway . We can charge the American $10 a gallon but we don't really pay that so we can make a bit of profit. Good luck with the idiot Cameron, although he will be okay for the anti Obama voters. Trouble is we may have to share with the Spainish King as they get upset over a little rock, so they would bawl their eyes out over the Kingdom of the United States. The Americans can have her head on stamps and we would have to name a few more places the same as in Britain. One day they would also get the lovely Princess Kate as a Queen, with Wills as King. What more could a major power ask for. Maybe old big ears Charlie and wrinkly Camilla might be asking a bit too much, but they shouldn't be around too long especially if the Queen lasts as long as her MUM.
Fantastic piece
God bring in Queen Kate asap!

Thanks for a fun review. You know your history, unlike some Americans. I like William and Kate too.

Thanks for sharing this, Sasha. Oddly enough, I concur with a good deal of what the old bat has to say.
But I ain't givin' up baseball--and I'll pull a potato peeler on anyone who tries to make me!
Cheerio, Lee

Just make sure you carry your permit. Their stinkers about that sort of thing.

This was so funny. I spell often times in proper English, and then my computer screams at me. However, I was born and have always lived in America, so I wonder where that came from. I loved it.

I was born in America and spent several years living in Vancouver and that really screwed up my ability to spell. I continually switch back and forth.

Baseball seems to be the biggest complaint with most Americans. I'm not too excited about taking up shooting grouse.

"South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer."
What a load of foul bangers and cold mash. I'm deeply hurt and revoke all friendship with Canadians and Brits. Her Majesty's citizens in Australia will now be in open revolt over this. We'll probably leave the Commonwealth and become a Republic. Or perhaps New Zealand will join with us in a new United States of Australasia.

I like the idea of the new United States of Australasia...was that a spag or a real word? We have a group of Australians that stay three or four months each year. They are a hoot to listen to. I've learned lots of fun expressions. But they don't speak to highly of the Queen. I bet this will really set them off...I liked the part about letting them know who killed Kennedy. We'd like to know too.

"Australasia" is a real word and was used at one time to refer to Australia and New Zealand together.

Cool. I love learning new things.

OMG - yes, please, to the letter 'u' and to the suffix 'ise' (after all, I'm Canadian) THIS IS A SCREAM! In addition to revealing who shot Kennedy, you MUST find out who wrote this funny essay! Perfect, perfect, perfect - 100 stars! Bless you for sharing.(It's going in my bookcase!)

If I ever find out I promise to let you know. I figured the Canadians would like this one. I remember when I lived in Canada and went to the movies. At the end the picture of the Queen popped up and everyone had to stand as they played God Save the Queen. I kind of miss that...don't you?

Actually, I wasn't born yet. (Hahahaha, gotcha!) Now that you mention it,yes, it was rather nice - I'd forgotten all about it. Lots of things have changed that never should have, in my opinion - like singing the national anthem every morning in school, and saying The Lord's Prayer. I am certainly in favor (favour!!!) of multi-culturalism, (I am married to an immigrant of a different race than I am) but if I moved to another country, I wouldn't expect them to give up their country's customs - we are admonished for even saying "Merry Christmas" any more, and many government places have tried to stop things like Christmas decorations - have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?
