Yes, congratulations to rcker1971. I wonder whether he or she was born in 1971 as I was born in 1966.
Happy Independence Day to American readers from here in Great Britain. I grew up in the 1970s with many American influences through TV and comics. I learned through these – and also at school – that America had fought Britain for independence but had been an important ally to Britain in the two World Wars. I remember learning at school in 1976 that New York had originally been named New Amsterdam by Dutch colonialists and later renamed New York by British colonialists.
The 1976 Presidential Election is the earliest Presidential Election that I remember. Today, we British will be voting in a General Election and will probably have a new Prime Minister tomorrow. You Americans will be setting off fireworks. On 5th November this year, we British will set off fireworks as usual and you Americans will be voting in your Presidential Election.
