Exactly! They don't call us Little London for no reason! Why would anyone want to waste time coming here? /s

I’m sure Brisish Airways knows their own market.

OMG, it’s the DNA. They love Charleston for the American history aspect and to ogle their American cousins; and they, like so many big-city residents, like to “get away from it all” to a slower-paced locale. But mostly it’s the DNA. I’m quite English, you know, based on my own DNA test, and my Charleston roots go back 10 generations, so I feel the link, the kinship, the love.

And yet it's still in the same boat as Charleston according to your logic.

I'm sure they do but I wasn't the one taking unnecessary jabs at another city. But Charlestonians will be Charlestonians I suppose.

Then was that attempt to take a jab back at Charleston in retaliation?
I don’t why, but globally speaking people everywhere seem to like this place. It’s not a big city, it doesn’t have Fortune 500 companies based here, but you can’t recreate the unique history and large historic district of this place. It’s one of the smallest US cities that people in Europe have actually heard of.

No, it was an attempt to inject some reality based on the logic presented in the jab.

But let others think that folks in Columbia are writhing in agony over this if it suits them.

I might even buy a van and do tours for the English. I can tell them about Charleston and show them around. I can drive them up to Columbia and tell them all about it and show them around. And I can can tell them all they need to know about the Upstate upstarts and why Columbia came to be in the first place.
