I can understand why Mr. Cleese is upset, after all, the US is without a doubt Great Britan's most significant contribution to the global society. Based on the fact that England couldn't govern us in the 1700's, and can't really make its own bed (Ireland?), I doubt they could do any better today. Since their army works for us it is a moot point anyhow. The US is very aware of how superior German cars are, the reason there are still US car companies is because they haven't sunk into the cesspool from which British cars were produced. If you Brits would quit playing around with tea (and the proper time to drink it and all), start drinking coffee and man up, possibly you would be able to fulfill your proper role in society. Getting so exercized over pronunciation, maybe therapy would do you some good.
Sorry if this sounds arrogant and rude,
but the again, maybe we do understand British humor. At least we get the irony of the British feeling superior to anyone else.
