I know a Brit who was once asked by an American (woman, albeit) what they do to celebrate the Fourth of July in the UK...

His reply: Nothing, you won.

I believe the Brits call the fourth of July "Thanksgiving."

I was watching Jay Leno do a street interview in regards to the 4th of July and some of the answers were unbeleivable .
In order to get citizenship in this country I had to take a test and sometimes I wonder how natural born citizens would do on the same test.

Thanks goes out to the group of people that decided to kick out the group of people that sponsored the move of our people across the pond. Happy 4th!
