Brits who've made it in US

[EchtLoon]

Was thinking about how many Brits have made it big in the US.
Very few in sports. Brian Davis making a fist of it now.

Very few in sports because of the nature of US team sports.

You're basically left looking at golf & tennis. As tennis historically has been disastorous for us, that leaves golf.

the scots lass who won a talent programme hosted by esther rancid; can't for the life of me remember her name as she vanished to the US almost immediately - did very well on the Vegas circuit.

How about Nick Faldo and David Feherty

Also Radiohead, Bush, Tracey Ullman, U2 and Naomi Campbell.

Hate to rain on your parade but U2 are not British--they are as Irish as Paddy Harrington.

And disparaging of Scotland and her home town....saying that her home town is a dump.
