Merica. Made an ace cafe - bigger, louder, brasher etc

You can get unlimited fish and chips though.....

No photo. An American Ace Cafe? Why does that make me cringe.

:) I spoke to people in New York a couple of months ago who genuinely thought all Brits either spoke Cockney rhyming slang or with comedy upper class accents. I can just imagine what a Disneyfied version of a British biker cafe would be like.
Mind you, there are loads of traditional 50s style "Greasers" in Japan. Some countries adopt others' cultures well -others don't.

My accent is middling Brummie/Wolverhampton but I had no problems being understood when I lived in the US in my younger days. It's funny but out of all my family I'm the only one with an accent. I can't hear it myself but I was at my Mum's the other day and she played a message from me on her answering phone and I sounded really broad. Mind you, don't most people dislike hearing their taped voice?  :o

Maybe she mistook your flapping arms for hitler salutes when you overfilled your vehicle and fuel went all over the forecourt. I hope you assured her otherwise.  :)

P.S. I'm in no way implying that the current German populace goes around doing that. Well, not most of them anyway. :-\
