Im becoming British...

Probably confusing us with the French, if we're talking stereotypes.

Nope, no confusion. Pommy = soap dodger.

Here we call spraying on deodorant "having a pommy shower."

I beg to differ. I'm sure you'll find our personal hygiene is beyond reproach.

Anyway, the continuous drizzle we enjoy over here washes us clean.

OK, well, next time it rains, go outside, bare your teeth and look up.

Harsh, but extremely true and funny.

Gosh... I resent that statement. I only use deodorant immediately after having my quarterly shower

Sadly, Jaffa, I've passed out under too many armpits in the Tube to disagree entirely!

ahh tis true, although not all tube passengers are British, some of the are ozzies

not offensive, am still wondering where the 'being afraid of soap' stereotype comes from, i have honestly never heard of that before

There is a statistic somewhere...(google is your friend), that says Europeans take something like .7 showers per day where Americans take around 1.9 showers per day.
Many visits to Europe and I believe it (though, sadly, I've never actually been to England).

AppleSpider, is that a park across the street? Do you get AP reception there?

that survay should be changed to take account of baths, i take a bath every other day and shower most days.

Yes, it's a park...but I've never taken my PB over there to try it out. The most pleasant part for sitting in the sun is probably just too far

Can you explain to me exactly how you take .7 of a shower? Do you turn the water off two-thirds of the way through or something?

Exactly why I will never get into the science of statistics.

Oh, too bad. I occasionally get AP reception driving through my neighborhood... bouncing from one house to the next. I t would be awesome to get it in a park, just one more excuse to be on the computer instead of doing a real outdoor activity.
