Neighbours I - Independence Day

"In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States."

Then why the hell (as I write this in fact!) are our neighbours having a party in their back garden bedecked with the American flag and garbed in American fancy dress? What is all that about?? I know - lets celebrate the day Britain was booted out of Yankland. Why the blue blazes are British people celebrating a day that was a downer for their own country. I suspect they are so thick they don't even know the significance. RETARDS!

Rant over.
