OK, I'll take your word for it, but rather you than me! Hollywood stereotypes aside, given the popularity of The Great Satan and its former colonial master-now-lapdog (that's the UK to you), I'll stick to trying to look like a skint Belgian tourist (visits to DRC excepted, of course!)
I had enough of a fright when a taxi driver in Belfast asked a group of us "So, yous'll be squaddies then?" (or words to that effect)
****ing hell no, we most certainly were not, thank you very much matey, but given the fact we all had crew cuts and were carrying/wearing odd surplus stuff (we were tech crew on a rock tour), I could see why he jumped to that conclusion. It might have been just an innocent remark, but my arse was going like a trumpeter's lips!!
