You can't keep a good man or dog down!

woof!

One of the most simple but pleasant things a Brit notices in America is the politeness of people in general and shop workers in particular. False or not I do like the politeness and general air of happiness it engenders.Whilst shopping yesterday in a hardware store I was asked by a male assistant if I was having a good day?...using my admittedly pathetic English sense of humour I replied yes...then I said.."well average really"...then I ended with "well awful, as my dog just died" The guy look horrified and completely ill at ease.....I think the crap English attempt at humour compounded by my rather thick scouse accent is to blame....just saying sure will have to do in future......NOTE...for Vinogirl and others I would like to point out that no dogs actually died in the making of this post.
