No

The fact Americans say sir and ma'am is greatly admired here. Politeness as always admired by Brits

well that is nice to hear, but i don't think most brits ever say that to americans i don't think they ever say that they appreciate some of the things we do.

sometimes it just feels like all brits think of us all as george bush war mongers, and rednecks.

Its easy to fall for the stereotypes like the classic "americans dont get irony" when they make seinfeld, mash, curb, office usa, taxi etc

at least you are not french *shudder* or an australian *double shudder*
