That’s what I don’t like about the internet. I’m not irritated…more concerned that the questions your asking could case arguments, and I was thinking carefully on how to answer them.


And you are not dumb. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are.

Just for the record, Canadians use British spelling instead of American spelling. Probably because Canada was still a British Colony in 1800...
Aren't we still a colony...?

How popular is western music in England?

We fully aquired independence around 1945 and we got back our Constitution in...1962 I think. (so not sure on that one...)

About Canada, I'm not sure if you are. I would guess your not, as I would have known for certen if you were.


Wester music is very popular in the UK. Of course we have our own music, but there is a lot of America artists in the charts :whistle:

I'd say more popular than anywhere else. It is an English story after all.

I answered this question, but due to the time warp it’s gone. Tattoos are popular, people think gangers exist, but I’d personally just call them criminals. I’ve never heard of ‘gangster’ crime like mafia hits and drug runs. I’m sure they happen, but the people doing them are criminals, nothing more,

1. What's the deal with Gordon Brown?

2. I read that British citizens may enter Canada without any sort of visa. What do you know about this?

1: Gordon Brown was NOT elected, Tony was, but after a few years he handed over leadership of the Laber Party. He is the worlds most boaring man.

2: I don't know if this is true, but it may be as Canada is/ was a part of the comman wealth. You'd have to ask someone from Canada.
