>The English hate the Euro.

They don’t like Europe, and will have nothing to do with it.

“Germany hates us, France hates us… and we want nothing to do with them.”

I was hanging out with my brother after going snowboarding the Monday after Xmas in VT. We were at his local bar and an English family was hanging out upstairs. Apparently they come here every year to ski and visit with family who lives in NY.

The uncle and grandfather were actually from England, the others had come to the US about 3 years prior.

My brother got them talking of the war, the Euro, where they were from, and general differences and similarities. It was very interesting that there could be so much cultural exploration in such a remote area of VT. I must say the residents of Jeffersonville VT have quite the open minds.

Some more choice quotes from the English:

“We hate the war, we never wanted to go to war, that bugger Blair though….”

“Mummy, can I play the football game?”
