You know you're living in America and not the UK when...

my remedy spray them with the window washer fluid, that gets some people to slow down!

Yep, that works!

The other trick (this only works on a single lane road) is that when they get right up your ####### like that, you slow waaaaaaaaaaay down. Say, from 40 (speed limit is 35) to 25 or 30.

It makes them back off, plus it's funny at the same time

Just a word of caution against doing things like this. In the US they will shoot you when they have road rage. It happens a lot. DON'T play games with US drivers. I'm serious.

I like Victorian lemonade.

Bitterer, and cloudy, but still fizzy.

I know.... it's just funny.

I never do it with the obvious road rage people, I just let them pass me and move on. It's usually the stupid people on their cellphones and not paying attention, or old people.

And I wouldn't do that in certain areas!

You can't find an electric kettle that just plugs into the wall. Everyone I know makes tea by putting a mug of water into the microwave. Blecchh!

If you go to a large store like Sears you can buy electric kettles, not as quick as the uk becuase of the power supply but still better than boiling water on the stove.

We bought one in Macy's Home Store in February! Its our favorite kitchen appliance!

Prior to that we used the kettle on the stove. I don't get the whole microwaving water thing.
