[H2O3C4Nitrogen]

gr8 differance ..No wonder ..

 

[fhassan]

The British are a tad more hospitable and jolly than your average American.

Although, some Americans are very friendly indeed.

Down here we are not scared to smile, greet or wave at complete strangers! Did not see that in London. They remind me of people in NYC. And the crap they eat. Blandly cooked organs - not me!!

I had many positive experiences with the Brits the further I go from the large cities. I had an English G/F when I was there. We traveled whenever her little car could handle or whenever I could secure a rental. The Scots were great but we were afraid to get lost up there as we could not get past their accents.

And the crap they eat. Blandly cooked organs - not me!!

Have to go with you here. No wonder curry and US style steakhouses were so popular. A friend (and fellow USAF) ordered his rare steak this way: "Just cut off his horns, clean his asshole and bring'em on."

Londoners are the exception that prove the rule

Northern England - the Yorkshire, Lancashire counties from Example, and Scotland, are very hospitable Indeed.

Next time your in the UK, come up north.

Really?

Perhaps you Americans can teach us a thing or two on good cuisine and healthy eating ( )

 

[Vassnti]

There is a British culture?

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.

By golly now youv'e gone and done it! Next time you are down here in Texas, I am going to force feed you some good beef brisket, T-bone steak, 5 alarm chili, all washed down with icy cold brew!

I can handle moderate curry - but man the rest of it makes my bald spot sweat!!

Lift or elevator
Taxi or Cab
Dust Bin or basket
Tea or Coffee

Foot Ball are different sports in both the country.

Hang on there one cotton pickin' minute there - when the pilgrim fathers landed here, it was a "common" language.

Over here, we just decided to evolve the language to a higher, and more practical level.
