Thats not only about the Brits. When it's up for sales, the
Americans are just numer 1 (maybe they had just absorbed to
many magrebinian shopkeppers/merchants :)
I heared a nice quote some time ago:
When it comes for a new product, on should place
development in Europe, production in Japan and
sales in the US.
Not so wrong at all
