in US english posh is a synonym for british

I'm mainly thinking of Tony Blair making the same case for invading Iraq that George W. Bush was, just with the accent.

Yeah, he moved into the badlands near Manchester. Ever seen the movie "The hills have eyes"? Its like that up there.

I'm currently working out moving to Jamaica. Got a friend there to help, but he says it ain't all sunshine and cheap pot like the movies.

eh, we've got pubs and chips.

oh also went back to the States last week and was appalled that a pint can cost upwards of $10 when a decade ago it was only $6 (London prices have stayed around £6-7). throw on the whole tip racketeering insanity and I'd much rather be in England.

I think he is saying they are following the same path, just a few steps behind. So if the US is running over a cliff, the UK will probably consider that a blazed trail and head in that direction too.

So yeah, the US sped up. Doesn't mean the UK isn't trying to follow.

Modern history, maybe not, but historically, the British Empire was the worst.
