Sivy Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 not really.. the name came from along time ago when there was an enforced consumption of lime juice in the British navy to combat scurvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew of its origins, but people are so sensitive about words now a days... I was just curious. My friend called the British troops limeys and was just wondering. I don't care if you guys are pro or anti war, all I care about is that they help the US, even in WWII they were the only real helpful ally. I wish I were British. Then I could have the accent! Then, I might not think women with the accent were any hotter than American women... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I dont mean to be nasty but for some of you Americans Wales is NOT in England. I hate when people say 'Wales? Isn't that in England?' Really annoys me.

Darklighter Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Sorry I left you out Lost:(I forgot Bilbo too, he's from Scotland I think.

StormHammer Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Count me in. Born in Essex, England...raised in Wales...with Irish somewhere in my ancestry. Hell, I'm a mongrel. About accents...which one? We have so many different accents across the country. Unfortunately we seem to be stereo-typed as the stiff-upper-lip English gentleman "How now brown cow", or the cap-tipping "watch-yer-guv" cockneys... We have regional accents, just like the US.

Lost Welshman Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Stormhammer! Remember Me, I used to be Annoying, But I changed. Im good now . anyway..... Thanks Darky, and about the accents, its the same in wales. Most people think of the welsh accent like 'Oh I'm going down the valleeeeeys now in'i' ' Oh and I found out that people say welsh people say things like, 'I'll be there now in a minute' which I found out I used all the time.

The_One Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Yeah, I'm a Brit. Born and raised (and still living) in the South East of England. Canterbury to be specific Originally posted by Katarn07 even in WWII they were the only real helpful ally. Sorry, but am I the only one that felt sick after reading that? Which history books did you read? You didn't join the war effort until 1942 - and only because it came knocking on your door step! Us, the French, Russia and other countries were fighting on the front lines - with many countries occupied, like France. I think you were a slightly helpful ally to all of us, not just that the UK were the "only" helpful ally to you. Sorry, but I couldn't let that one pass without comment. Don't want to start a historical debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
