Similarities
Loads of threads seem to be about the differences in Aus and UK cultures, and naturally so.
But last night I saw something that reminded me of England. I was travelling on a train and through the door walked some ticket inspectors. They were gruff, miserable and bordering on rude to the passengers, inspecting the tickets as if expecting to find something wrong with them, and seeming disbelieving and almost disappointed that there were no fare dodgers to nab in that particular carriage. It must be a universal thing....
Any other situations or things that grab you as the same in Aus as in the UK?
