I think Jason you've fallen foul of what's known over here as taking the
piss. I read it as I am sure it was written, fondly mocking comments. I
have found before that this kind of behaviour between British people -
which we understand perfectly for the humour it is - is completely lost
on Americans.

It can only strengthen the worth of the saying "Britain and America -
two nations separated by a common language"

Cheers,
