We had a different Mars bar than you guys. Mars was discontinued, and apparently has been reinstated, though I haven't seen one, I don't think.

I'm confused. I thought Mars was American anyway?

Mars is Roman. Specifically, a deity of war.

I remember marathon / opal fruits.

also now you guys have me craving a mars bar...

Are you British? Now, all of your posts sound so much more interesting and sophisticated in my head...

Ye Olde UK/European names for Snickers and Starburst. They must have been running some kind of NFL promotion at the time maybe when Channel 4 first started airing it...

...yes, we also only used to have four TV channels as well.

...and we still have to pay the government a monthly fee to watch them.

And we can't have HBO Now

Nonsense, it's a tune by Gustav Holst, who was British. Probably wrote The Planets in his shed.

Well...that's who Holst was writing about in his shed so that counts (ie - The Planets is about astrology, not astronomy)

This thread is so ridiculous when read with the proper accents. I need to never, ever go to England. I'd be sitting there smiling like an idiot the entire time.

I hope you're not imaging us all with posh, Southern English accents like Giles from Buffy. I'm from Yorkshire; think Sean Bean and family from Game of Thrones, or the Third World scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

English and living on the east coast of Canada.

And yes, I do have that accent. Midlands - softly spoken.

Do I detect a hint of nationalism? Got something against the Scots have we? I thought that only ran one way.

My wife is half Scottish half French so I kind of hope not. Nevertheless, a Scot is a Scot, an Irishman is an Irishman, a Welshman is a Welshman (the sheep is nervous) and an Englishman is an Englishman. Accents are all very very different. Also most Scots I know refer to themselves as Scotsmen and not British

Very true about Scots, my mum's Scotish and the nationalism up there is quite strident. Should probably break England down a bit in that system as well though, soooo many accents within England. I describe myself as British, but if asked to elaborate I say half Yorkshire, half Scotish.

I'm imagining you all with posh accents, of course. I can't imagine you sounding like my Geordie friend. When we talk on the phone I don't actually know what he's saying. For real, I was so embarrassed I was like "Wait what? Sorry what was that?" I felt terrible until another friend from London told me that he doesn't understand a word he says either.

Heh, yeah, before I got to your last line I was ready to say "don't worry, we don't understand Geordies either!

Say what you like about London folk - everything they say might sound like a question but at least the words are clear?

You kids and your

Really? I got two.

Funny, I thought that must be the british version. They're called Twix in the US also.

Maybe its Australian?
