What is the Difference Between Americans and Their Brothers the British?
 

Well? I just want to know what you think of the other? Since this board the majority is either British or American.

It's all in how you pronounce the letter R

I like English people, of course I don't really know any, but they seem like a good group of people.

I thought everyone was aware of the unsophisticated American and the stuck up Brit stereotypes.

we like proper tea innit.

pronounciation.

My experiences of Americans, both at home and in the US, is generally good. I find them to be friendly and honest. They can take what you say a bit too literally sometimes, leading to the odd misunderstanding but, by and large, I like 'em. And they generally have excellent teeth.

Still don't understand how to make a decent cup of tea, mind.

And they quite simply don't understand bacon at all.

i met a wonderful american man on the top of a hill in 2005 whilst skiing in vermont. I fell over and he came over and helped me up, he was all like "aw, are you okay, that looked like a bad fall, here you go, isn't it a lovely day, i love skiing don't you"
It was surreal.
My general experience with americans has be very very positive, thats one of the reasons i am planning to move there in 2010.

Availability of teeth.

how is that surreal?

My British cousins are decent chaps even if one is highly phobic and the other is borderling autistic. Wouldn't think they represent the average Brit, though.

Maybe she was wearing a wetsuit at the time.

cookies / bisquits

No, that sounds fairly typical.

The trees were melting upwards and the sky was a florescent purple.

The phobic one married a Christian Texan. ha ha ha

Oh, and the eternal chips-crisps confusion.

chips and fries, biatch

And of course there's the little matter of baseball, which we call rounders and stop playing by the age of about 10.

you had to be there, i didn't explain it well enough, he was like Ned Flanders

ha ha ha, BURN

yes! exactly!!!

I don't feel the need to defend baseball from the criticism of a country that plays cricket.

...

cricket :rolleyes:

ha ha, "feels like im wearing nothing at all" ha ha ha ha

yeah

Simpsons

American invention

The office

wasn't much of a great show in either incarnations

We have funnier sitcoms!

woo hoo, SITCOMS! you go, girl!

The humour. Apart from the obvious differences in vocabulary, humour is pretty much the only thing that differentiates between the two races.

Well, that and the fact that Americans know nothing whatsoever about decent food.

american's don't understand sarcasm, which is my main source of humor. :(

we have charm of manner.

they use padding in football we don't in rugby.

US Garage is gay-friendly, and UK Garage is not.
The US provide service with a smile, whereas us Brits specialise in service with a grimace.
The Brits gave to US Monty Python, and the US gave us those guys and gals from Saturday Night Live.

The US care not a whit about Premiership football, and the Brits feel the same way about American football.

you can tell.

fuck of porky.
