What do the following countries have in common

The UK, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and the Bahamas?
They are de facto countries where English is the official language.
Don't you think that all of these countries have differences between each other?
So I suggest that anyone living in the UK who is thinking of moving to one of these countries accept the fact that there will be differences some good and some bad. If you expect them all to be like the UK and have no differences
THEN DONT MOVE.
Me thinks the Brits protest too much when things aren't the same or what they are used to when living/working or visiting other countries.

Aren't you the poster who said I'm sooo funny, the Canadians don't have a sense of humour because they don't find me hilarious???

I took a look at this thread because I have spotted worrying signs of 'going native' ( which doesn't look very pc now I've typed it, apols). At the weekend I said 'good job' to the dog, and this evening I laughed at the Rick Mercer report.:o

All very worrying :blink:

The differences between Canadian and British people? Easy!

That suggests that there's a difference between the characteristics of Canadians in different regions. What is it?

So, so true. I am in an office of about 75 government lawyers, all of whom are Canadian with one exception - me.
