It all stems from way back when this guy was King. Wikipedia

Wow, the guy got his pic on a coin.
How cool is that?
Probably got him lots and lots of women?

 Oh no sir - unfortunately you have got the wrong end of this particular shtick.... I'm afraid it's you Americans that can't spell for toffee. The language we both speak is 'English' The clue is in the er... title

Why do you say this thing? The Queen has her mug on the coins of today and she doesn't get lots of women. (or does she?)

I suspect that many, purported, people who sit/sleep in the funny building with the tower clock just off Parliament square are considered to be no more then big girls blouses, so I think the answer to your question Jon is probably yes.

Hi,
With all due respect Strummy ... Americans do NOT speak English ... they speak American ... and it is laced with ebonics and some other things!
At least English has "grammar" ... American has none!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

So I'm guessing PATOOTIE is an American word then? No conjugated verb inflected

Need I say more about this shop in Heathrow? And what about this cafe in Berkely?  In both American and British English, it's rather rude

He he - it's been blurred out in Google Maps Eric, but thankfully not yet in Google Earth  I believe the HQ of the Upton Beaver Hunting Society is situated there

The most amusing thing about the original post is that **** stands for French Connection:United Kingdom
In America I assume it would FCUS?
So really we should all be joining together and blaming the French, take it from a brit, this is a much more satisfactory pastime and has kept us busy for centuries :)

Google Maps Brilliant! Never thought of that, couldn't find my picture of it either. I do like Malvern for road names too, these go well with the Upton one:  and

It's funny thing about the difference in language between English-British and American-english. Every culture has adopted words that weren't part of the original language. Sectarianism still exists in terminology in all feilds of communication technical or not. You might find that poetry is responsible for breaking down the walls through the times of our "universal development" in thought. But then again you might not.

These are actual town names.
A few examples:

There are many more but you get the idea.
