How do you have an income without a job? Aren't you're proud of yourself.

Disposable income?

You don't have a bloody job, so how can you even have an income?!

Burger King does too, except the US has burgers about 3 x times the size...

Pizza Hut... need I go on?

TGI Friday's and those other places are completely different.

There really aren't any cities worth visiting here when compared to Europe. I don't get the whole fascination with NYC tbh. Crowded and kind of dirty. London makes NYC look like crap. When you throw in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Prague, Rome, etc. etc. C'mon there is no comparison.

I could only see a European visiting the US for some national park out west. Even then, many other parts of the world have stunning natural places to see. If I was born and bred in Europe, the US would probably be pretty low on my list.

Pizza Hut is actually pretty good. Never cared much for their pizza, but the breadsticks are great.

Pizza is Italian, anyway. The US can't claim it.

Either way I don't care about price.

He reminds me of my neighbour's 3 year old daughter who gets £2 a week pocket money..

It does. Full of E numbers & artificial colourings & other bad stuff that has long been banned in the UK...

That's why their Fanta glows like a radioactive orange

I'm quite surprised by the bolded part in your post. Based on your posts, I would never imagine you liked the US at all. Not that it bothers me, just you don't seem much of a fan.

Sure it can. Any food found commonly in the US is "American".
