It's a wonder our national toast isn't "SORRY!"<br /><br />I can't see "cheers" as British. Oh, I know it <em>is</em> British, but it has been so ubiquitous for so long that it seems universal. I grew up with it just like everyone else, and had no idea that it came from England. I still don't think of England when I hear it - at least in reference to toasting a round of drinks. When people sign their emails with it or just use it in casual conversation, it makes me want to wretch. Unless, of course, they're British. Andyhttp://dipsochronicles.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
