As a Yank I deplore alcopop as much as I despise Mexican narcopop. I assume we're talking about a gussied-up music form, right?

How do we get there?

The last time I was there, I was struck by the number of humans with flabby buttocks who walk the streets without shame.

It appears that England has inherited the worst from its spawn, America. I believe this also includes leadership style and abilities.

SafeT: er no, not so far as I am aware. alcopop is a generic term for sugary, fizzy fruit flavoured drinks with added alcohol, targeted at younger drinkers

Maroon: follow your nose.

GB: Nothing has changed, so far as I can see. If anything its become worse. I read just yesterday that childhood obesity has doubles in a decade, with 26.7% of girls and 24% of boys now classed as clinically obese.

Admiral: Everything finds its way over here eventually, the shame of it.

Sounds like America to me. Have they started hyphenating their celebrities yet? Until you're eating french fries, drinking your wine cooler, and watching Tom-Kat on "Inside Edition", you haven't made it!

I am inclined to agree, although perhaps it should read 'Britain' rather than just 'England'. We north of the border do have the worst heart disease rate in the country, after all.

Having said that I don't mind some of the alcopops... that pre-mixed vodka and irn bru stuff was right handy for for drinking in dodgy clubs where anyone with an ordinary glass was almost guarranteed to get spiked.

Oh. Kids here just drink beer.
And engage in group orgies.
And they all, to a one, use firearms to slaughter large numbers of their teachers and fellow students.
While pregnant.
And high on pot.

Overacheivers, right?
