It went so well! Thankyou so much for all of your ideas- he was amazed! I also bought him pixi sticks and a twinkie from an american sweet shop in London- he was so pleased!

I have photos to post but no way of cropping or resizing them. Could anybody help me out?

yeah, we don't say stuff like 'quarters' or whatever- its just 20p. Or 50p. Its either a pound or a quid. A tenner. A fiver. None of the others change much.

OMG, do you actually want me to beat your arse down about this AGAIN? YOU'RE NOT WELSH- YOU'RE AMERICAN. Shut UP!

You try living in a nation of immigrants and then say that again.

Everyone lives in a nation of immigrants- no country has ever been exclusive (apart from maybe a random island in Indonesia or something). So i'll say it again, shall i?

I think immigration is becoming a big problem in the U.K.

Errr no its not. We have a population gap and soon the whole pensions sector will collapse if we don't have more workers- we need immigrants to fill this gap, because there aren't enough in the country already.

You're English. If you are of Saxon decent, you've been there for 1500-2000 years (or even longer, too lazy to look it up). If you're of Norman decent, that's been there for a bit less than 1000 years. That's far too long to maintain any sort of separate cultural identity.

In contrast, most of my family arrived here 125-150 years ago.

My family came over from ireland in the potato famine, moved to scotland and then down to England so i have a 'mixed heritage' just as much as you do- i don't know anyone who is purely 'English'- whatever that means. Nationalism and 'Heritage' are concepts  invented for political gain only a few hundred years ago- it means nothing.

What are pennants? And we don't have cracker jacks here- but what are they like? I might be able to find sth similar.

Ghis, i'm definitely making a baseball cake! And cupcakes made to look like baseballs, hehe.
