Why does everyone seem to think that the Geiko Gecko is British?

I agree, it is Australian.

Not really sure about this one. It sounds like it originated in Britian but I can't find references to that. The US uses it  when discussing energy and the British uses it too but to a lesser degree. Sorry can't give a more fulfilling answer.\n\nCheck out.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit\n\nI did more checking and found this other site. Do I get the best answer award?!\n\nhttp://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-btu.htm

I live in Ireland and that particular species of animal is very rare here, I don't think I've ever spotted one in fact.\n\nJudging by the abuse that anyone here gets when they criticise bush or blair (I refuse to put either of those names in capital letters) this species seems to be thriving in internet land.

It's supposedly a creature that lives in the U.S. It walks on two legs like humans but is covered in hair like primates. Some dodgy film footage allegedly showing Big Foot was shot in the 50s(?) but there is as much evidence that he exists as there is of the Loch Ness monster! He is also known as sasquatch but that is almost certainly not how you spell it!

Why do the Brits use K after everything and the Yanks not? Because they are from different countries and cultures and their English isn't the same. You can thank Noah Webster.\n\nDon't take it out on us Americans either, the Aussie's have something do to with English butchering too.  \n\nAlso, thanks for posting this, I think you might have saved a few dumb Amer. boys from telling pretty English ladies they have nice fannies.

Get ahold of the Geico gecko, he has a English accent. He's cute too. Good luck

I think it is fairly safe to assume he is American.  It is a common misconception over there that England and Great Britain (he couldn't even spell it) are the same thing.  Ronald Regan once came here and called it England.

I don't guess many people think of a black jaguar from Djibuti do they?  I'm kinda odd that way.

Look at the smirk on the face of the Austrian President.\nHe knows he can't trust GWB, and his people absolutely hate him.\n\nThe "Cowboy" thing never exactly played well in Europe, then again there is a reason they are extinct here too.

Britishers? Is that even a word?

Some people believe it is. \nPersonally, I don't see anything wrong with it. When it comes down to it, we're all part of the same species..

Technically, Britain is a constitutional monarchy... and the fact that the police and army and MPs etc have to swear allegiance to her is outrageous (the Queen is also head of the Church of England, of course, and Britain is now a secular multi-cultural country, and proud of it). Laws cannot be passed in this country without the Queen's signature. And as a previous messager said, they are anyway greedy parasites who have the IQ of an amoeba between them because they are all inbred. What right do they and the rest of the so-called aristocracy have to their wealth? Did they earn it by honest toil? Or did they steal it at the point of a sword? Let's be done with them all. Stuff them all and put them in Madame Tussauds. The wasters.

I am a gekko. Fear me. I am not annoying. I actually like those Geico commercials. They're cute.

I spent my first 25 years in England and the rest (33) over here and I don't know why they don't like us, but being a Brit from birth I can tell you that they are opinionated and a tough audience so don't take it personal. They have no reason to not like Americans. Could be envy couldn't it?

I agree! When it was unveiled Ken Livingtone spouted his usual PC bilge, saying the model was braver than the war heroes already commemorated. Wrong! They all chose careers in which they risked their lives. She has made the best of a bad situation over which she had no control, but has not saved the country from Napoleon or Hitler like they did. The statue is an embarrassment, and does not respect its surroundings. \n\nAnd isn't it sad that the first woman to get a statue in London's greatest square achieves this by getting her kit off? If they didn't want to honour another boring old white man, why not put a statue of Nelson Mandela there instead of proposing another new plinth for him as they're doing?

You've dredged up a right little englander in the second answer.\nThis is the sort of racist nutter you get here.\nThese people are the Nigels and it's good fun to offend them as they offend so many.\nIt's pretty easy but still enjoyable.\nUp yours Nigel!
