Just English will do, and yes, it's a petrol station.
Ok, I'll keep that in mind, thanks. In Finnish academic circles mixing British and American English is not allowed, you have to choose either one and stay consistent. In exams it will lower your degree almost automatically by two steps, an academic paper will go straight into the bin if you mix British and American English.
When I joined C-D I used to write in US English, as it was more familiar as I'd watched lots of American TV series, but at some point there was a craze on the Europe and World forums to discredit the UK for some reason, so as a protest I decided to revert to British English.

Still working on the consistency part, though.
I was getting more at the fact that there's no need in my mind to say 'British English', as it's just English. Americans speak a flawed version, Canadians and Aussies usually get it right though.
I always think there has been and still is an anti-UK sentiment in the world forum and here in the weather forum too. I have no idea why.
That Libyan oil supplies Europe not the US. Consider it a favor
They are coming to the US too. The vast majority of immigrants legal and illegal are coming to the US and EU for economic reasons. Not because the US and our lap dogs as you put it, (the gov of UK, France, Germany, Italy...) invaded their country. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan did they flood Euorpe then? Did Iraqis and Iranians flood Europe in the 80's when they were at war? No. Maybe it's the EU's policies that you should be blaming if you don't want these migrants....
Sorry, I feel horrible now...
One could argue that the US military led action in the region destabilised surrounding countries, including Syria of course...
And I never said I didn't want any migrants, obviously there is a massive influx of them flooding into Europe, but what are these countries supposed to do? Yes there are going to be some who are economic migrants, but the majority are fleeing for their lives, so of course we should help them, it would be inhumane to not...
And this coming from the product of immigration themselves...
You supporting the likes of Trump is like a black person joining the KKK lol...
What makes you think I endorse the idea that immigration--white or otherwise--is a good thing for the original Americans? I.e., the Americans whose origins go back to the original colonial settlements. A country where the inhabitants don't share that basic blood connection with one another is inherently dysfunctional.
oh and **** the ADL... mother****ing DIRTY ROTTEN HYPOCRITES who bully Ukrainians into downplaying the Holodomor while inserting themselves into politics. mother****ing rats.
