We were still cool in 1973? Did Thatcher do us in or something?

Your cool started to wane in the early seventies, then completely died in 1976.

Dah! You know I forgot to mention. You a big pancake or waffle fan?
Well we're pretty much the lords of Maple Syrup production. People in our more wooded states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine will make the stuff in their own backyards!
We have more syrup then we know what to do with! Come have some!Subway is also a native company! Healthy chain sandwiches ya'll!
Yes, I love pancakes, waffles, and syrup in general. I tend to drown my waffles/pancakes/french toast in syrup. Should I visit, this definitely makes me want to visit several breakfast cafes or diners.
Crap, my inner traveler is getting excited. I'd love a road trip right about now.
EDIT: Doing a tiny bit of research, I found a picture of a lobster roll. I've just found my ultimate food goal for New England. That looks amazing…
The Adventures of Oliver Twist probably inspired One Piece and especially Sabo.
You regularly break into gay song and dance routines with them?
Are you homophobic sir? Is this what passes for social progress in Old England? I mean I don't want to make blind accusations but I can't help but notice how..well, behind your gay legislation is.

Yes yes, I know, considering the world at large that light blue color is quite progressive and all…but you're really just not up to the..standards of this competition if that all you can boast. For four out of six states here have that dark blue color. Gay Marriage is legal there sir, and we don't take kindly to the notion of denying our gay brothers and sisters their rights!

Sea, Old England doesn't offer you equal rights! Mostly, we do! In New England! Come live in Boston and settle down with one of our many Matt Damn lookalikes.
Something you can't do in LONDON, that's for sure.

Okay, that convinced me.
Unless the other side offer something better.
It's really just such a shame that the stuffy powdered wig wearing judges in Parliament can't give rights, I've seen the English attitude toward gay rights before from forum local….MALINTEK TEREK....it's a bother he says, radical, that will upset things even if it is right!
Well I tell him and them...look upon Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachussets. Is there chaos in the streets now that men may marry men? And women women? Are all the myths about gay marriage come true?
And the world can only say NO. Because we are prosperous and accepting at once.
An example to the gay denying world. The world should be ashamed.
Also we have one of the major gay villages in the US. Provincetown!
On the very tip of Cape Cod! I have been there! Shirtless men bike through the streets! And I as a straight man was welcomed! Truly peace one earth.

pft, who needs marriage anyway! Not when our happy gay couples can adopt, enter into civil partnerships, join Her Majesties Armed Forces and even vote! and even change their gender if they want to. Marriage is a mere formality when such equality is permissible.
But enough of this poppycock, who here likes a good laugh? Well then come to England where you can be treated to the wonders of

It's too bad, I guess you were funny once…I mean Monty Python is pretty cool. But the 70's? Really? That's reaching back a bit far isn't it?
well I guess we can't compare comedy films (or any films for that matter) as New England isn't to hot on making them. I'd have to go somewhere cool like California for that. But hey it's not like we're totally unfunny now, we produced The Office, that thing New England immediately copied. But I guess some SNL sketches are funny…mostly the old ones.
SNL was from NYC. New England isn't really well known for producing movies, although many do flock to it's beautiful countryside to film there. New Englanders, while certainly open and friendly, are not about flaunting themselves in public like that themselves. It's a matter of attraction rather than promotion, if you will. No need to advertise such a wonderful place, really.
gotta say, I've been over there
New England seafood's nothing take home to your mother.

I want you to consider your own heritage Chrissie. The Greeks. Your people.
Where do they go when they come to the United States? Why….the answer is simple.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greek1346.gif
New England, proud home of most Greek Americans.
Why my own hometown has at it's epicenter a family owned Greek Pizza place that is delicious and much loved by the locals such as myself.
Why one of our more important senators, Olympia Snowe from Maine, is Greek American! Opportunity abound!The Greeks! Proud contributors to New England! The part of the US they handpicked to live in!
So if I manage to persuade my mother to let me study for my MA in the US, I should head for New England? Sounds like a plan! Greek brothers and sisters! Here I come! Hey, I am part British now that I think of it, so I'll definitely feel more at home there than in any other place in the US! Jolly good!
I'm going to school in New England this semester. So yay me?

The campus gym I go to is literally across the street from the fraternity that inspired Animal House. Every day being here gives me more reasons to love New England.
No matter how you try and list these vaguely famous folks zeph, one thing stands out above all, and that's the fact you folks lack any class.
I also lol'd at you mentioning steven king as if it were a trump card against Terry Pratchett or Shakespeare. Pratchett is not only a knight, but has his own sword he forged from iron and meteorite! GOD DAMN CLASSY!

Oh dear god did you just try to compare our humour? New england like most of america consists of fart jokes and college stereotypes. Try moving on up in the world by introducing wit.
So humour, writers and history you were crushed on…
...how about we move onto music, actors and inventors?

I guess I should add something about my state.
The only big advantage I can think of for my side of the country right now is Disneyland and Pixar Studios, not to mention that before he died, Disney himself was planning on living in Disneyland (somewhere in New Orleans Square, I believe), cementing that he really found So Cal his home more than any other place in the country.
Sure, there have been duplications of the park, but we lay claim to the original as the head honcho imagined it.
Disney ain't no big author or legendary philosopher, but he's still a privilege to have hosted.
Damn, now I want to get into the LAPD's history, but I can't remember half of it.

The world of humour should be taking notes right about now.
Southern California.
So good, we stole Alfred Hitchcock from the English.
Looks at Stephen King
His final resting place was even Bel-Air
If the Fresh Prince had just been a couple of decades earlier…imagine the possibilities.
I'm really trying to find anything worthy of mentioning from New England on google and youtube, but absolutely nothing has come up. All I'm getting is videos of some guy called billy bragg?
New England must have done something to justify its existence surely?

Literally more than Old England's done in the past twenty years.

What's New England's accent like? Cause there's +1 for Old England there.
No matter how you try and list these vaguely famous folks zeph, one thing stands out above all, and that's the fact you folks lack any class.
Smudger, smudger, smudger, I thought this was the first thing you learned here?
NEVER assume any American stereotype of New England.
You fall into presumptions like this which are simply untrue.
We have just enough class without being either foppish or lifeless like the Old English. We know how to party too. A balanced breakfast of qualities that makes for a happier region on the whole.

And no, I listed all the others against Shakespeare.

He did it again folks! I'm really trying to be nice here, but our friend isn't listening at all! He refuses to hear out the local reality and would rather go with assumptions forged from ignorance.

So far the only people supporting Old England are the Old English, you even had Sea briefly but lost him after your flagrant lack of respect for gays came to light.
You need to calm down and not worry about the home nation and more about who you're trying to impress. Because while you shoo hand New England I have people literally lining up for food, funny, education, and the right to marry other men!
Meanwhile we just have mean spirited Steve Carell attacks that are completely uncalled for, completely. Do you have any sense of the people at all sir? At all?
You shouldn't have expected respect for others from Old England.
Poor India.
Speaking of accents: you have ever heard Boston one? That shit is awesome.

Twain, Poe, Mellville - sure, yes, but King? Lol. And having Brown has got to hurt. I've got to give the literature to old continent.
Boston accent AND the New York accent which is common as well.

Steve Carell, currently making a living from ripping off an English comedy series.
You try to mock us while imitating us move for move, word for word. A state so damn unoriginal in its thinking that it has to resort to stealing Englands names, humour and current direction in an attempt at crawling out of the pages of obscurity and into the grand pages of history.
Face it zeph, new englands a state of mimes.
We wouldn't have to steal your names if you didn't give them to us.
But British music time and time again is nothing more than chewing on their US contemporary's sound for a while, before spitting it back out a year later
It is quite rude to call thievery when your people are renowned for it!
New England stole everything and went on to make it better.
I don't see how that could possibly seen as something negative.
So that's how you won Sea you dick tease.
Such homophobia even here.

The American Office is very different from the British one. Especially his character, who doesn't exist in the British one.
You have seen both of them…right? Right?
You try to mock us while imitating us move for move,
Well we have different food for one, our own hard won living standards (better then yours for instance), our own accents, our own landscape (thank god), free from the yoke of cold cruel monarchy (we shot you to make sure that one was different in fact), our own highly regarded institutions of learning, and our own political climate.
In fact Old England highly lacks the level of Immigration we've seen. You know nothing of Italians or willing Irish!
These people bring a distinct identity to New England the old one lacks.
Also Boston is very different from London (it looks like a modern city!)
A state
Uhh. I'm not sure you've been doing your homework sir.
Please try and not show how detrimental your education systems are compared with ours.
so damn unoriginal in its thinking that it has to resort to stealing Englands names,
We named our villages after yours because our founders were making a New England free of religous persecution. Some of the very earliest freedom of religion was pioneered by the Rhode Island colonists as a matter of fact.
