Now there are those who in response to feelings such as this start quoting that great Scottish writer Adam Smith from his famous 1776 treatise “The Wealth of Nations” – who said:. It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self interest. He had ten thousand men.

http://englishmaninvegas.com/index.php/lord-what
An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. Rudy Guilliani will forever be addressed as “Mr Mayor”, even though he left office back in 2002. Politicians who have left office are generally regarded as has-beens – unless they are awarded a peerage and elevated to the House of Lords, where they spend the rest of their lives sleeping…. Some titles just make me laugh…. Now if they awarded Keith Richard a knighthood I might change my mind! There were 133 to choose from! If I wa...

An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. No Smoking Please ……. The good people of Nevada , as in many other places, have long struggled with what to do about. The problem of smoking in public places…. Having seen fairly draconian bans imposed in cities as far afield as New York and Dublin those seeking a ban here, lead by heart and cancer charities. Swung into action in 2006. Indoor areas that the public has access to, covering. There are a couple of problems with.

An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. Mine’s a Pint! Coming to live here in the States you quickly become aware of the two prevailing views of the other country’s beer – that American beer is universally awful, whilst English beer is always warm – neither of which are true…. Ales are subtly different, and for me there is pleasure in drinking them beyond simply feeling thirsty…. Now as for English beers being warm – that too is a fallacy…. A month or so ago I was loo...

An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. I say NUH-VAH-DUH but they say NE-VAA-DAH! One of the things that differentiates a visitor here from a native is the way they pronounce the name of our State, and here I’m afraid I fall down and don’t sound like a local at all…. How on earth did this happen? Was there some sort of committee meeting round a table that arbitrarily decreed the way that a particular word was to be pronounced? General purpose Upper Class Twit! Now so...

An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. 8220;Libraries gave us power….”. 8221;…. They’d never believe me if I told them! I have always been a big supporter of libraries, and was an active member when I lived in England – but our local library here system here in the Valley makes them look like something from the stone age or an episode of The Flintstones! In England I was allowed around 10 items out at any one time. Here I can have up to 50! Picking out a book, check ...

An Englishman in Las Vegas. Reflections on life in the American South West…. If the number of drive-thru’s here in Vegas are anything to go by – you could be forgiven for believing that people are very reluctant to be parted from the seats of their automobiles. There is drive-thru everything! Apparently I am living in the drive-thru capital of the world …. Come with me on a hypothetical journey in my car….
