Oscar bought some schnapps in Salzburg as gifts for relatives in the US- you know the kind of thing, overpriced schnapps in cello-shaped bottles!

I would say there are substantial differences, just as there are substantial similarities.

Actually, it was Evelyn who made the sheep remark, not DFM. I don't agree with her, either, though. I would say that maybe middle class America at some time in the past was very obedient to the law whether popular or not. Since may family was by no means middle class, I have no direct experience. In the last 30 years, I think even the middle class thumb their noses at the law. However, I maintain that Americans are very sensitive to the opinions of their peers. It was this that I was contesting in DFM's original post. Certain behaviors and attitudes are socially unacceptable in the US, and people conform very rigorously to the standard of social acceptability. You can see this very clearly in parenting standards. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my surname at libero dot it I answer travel questions only in the newsgroup
