An American tourist

Following up to Padraig Breathnach

Well, no, in this regard surely he's correct. Most British people of African
or West Indian descent most certainly don't consider themselves American
anything.

That's quite beside the point.

Need I remind you that Nelson Mandela is an African-American?

thats quite beside the point :-) I have never heard any Brit of
any colour even mention the idea of being American. African, yes,
American, no. If you choose to go back to your roots, you go to
the roots. (could be a song in that) Is there evidence that the
west Indians who came to UK had once been in the US?

(I too would like to hear about NMs forebears)

I pale at the word "Gin"...g Juniper Juice being one of the most
powerful emetics I know...

Presumably not in the quantities in gin?
