        They say it so much they even have an acronym for it.

        I was hanging around Chelsea in my new West Ham soccer jersey trying to blend in, and every other person on the street was saying they hoped to see me next Tuesday. Even yelling it from across the street! They must have known I was American because they kept trying to talk to me about football, but they didn’t seem to know any NFL teams.

        The Brits really are on of the most polite nations.
