Re: Differences between UK and USA culture/living
people in the UK don't walk around with a rod up their ass
and when people in the UK say (have a nice day) they MEAN it.
When people from the UK share conversation you can tell by the look in their eyes that they are genuinely interested in what you have to say.
When sharing conversation with Americans I seem to get the feeling that they are thinking what can I do for them.
I maybe dead wrong and I am still trying to figure it out but after 22 yrs of living in the states it does not seem like it's changed

How long have you got? Over rated/ over priced healthcare system. Constantly hearing this is the land of the Free yet I never get to see any bare tits on TV and your cops are like robots with pre recorded answers. The food comes in family sizes for individuals and a family pack looks like a NATO air drop for a starving nation. Most US citizens are completely world ignorant and blindly assume because it's American it's the best in the world when in actual fact it's basically crap (Your cars for instance). The 18th century religious mentality of small town rural USA. The Bread, Bacon and beer here all suck beyond belief and theres nowhere near enough gratituitous sex and nudity on TV.
