Understandable on the coffee thing.

When you are eating out, your goal is to eat then leave. In America the don't "wait" to give you your food or check, in fact they frown upon that.

I drink my tea cold. What do you think about that?

The point is the crap is there. What do you do with a pile of crap to big to get rid of? You add to it and make compost.

In the rest of the world, the goal isn't to gorge ones self with as much fat as possible, then leave as quickly as possible. The goal is to eat nice food with a few friends or colleagues in a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.

The reason we wait for the food is because our food is not always "fast food", but has to be cooked on site. Waiters wait to be asked for the "check" [sp.] because it gives people time to converse and have fun. There is none of that capitalist conveyor belt philosophy.

I drink my tea hot or cold.

Fanny packs are for girls. Get a wallet :)

I was making a comment on how you turn the harmless term "fanny" into something vulgar... and they are not for girls.... B-)

Then you are a poor excuse for a Limey brit.

It is fun.. for me... though I can be kind of a troll :P

Capitalist conveyer-belts have made America the most powerful country in the- I can't even say that with a straight face.

Hey! That's a sterotype. Not all American resturants are fast food. Any good resturant makes their food on site. Personally, I prefer diners to anything else. Plus, there's no so called "capitialist conveyor belt philosphy" in most places. I have never been given a check without asking the waiter/waitress.

Or how you turn a nice vulgar term like fanny and turn it into something ordinary. Real men don't need fanny packs, they use pockets :P

Brit, has a capital letter. Thank you very much. I thought we taught you convicts English before shipping out to that other continent? :)

You're not the only one.

So powerful that you have colour coded terrorist threat alert system. Powerful AND secure. :)

RandomMan, I was merely going on the evidence Grey has provided. My apologies if it came across the wrong way.
