In Britain if you ask for a f a g then someone will give you a cigarette. If you ask for a f a g in the US then you'll get something completely diffferent lol
Other subtle differences include what we in UK call crisps they call potato chips; what we in UK call chips they call French fries; what we in UK call an estate car they call stationwagon and so on...
Then there's not to mention the bastardisation of words such as colour (they say color); favourite (favorite) and so on.
On average US folk are bigger than UK folk and obesity is more of a problem though with Macdonalds, Burger King and other American delights hitting our shores we are seeing the obese problem too.
Another difference is that Brits more culturally aware that there is life outside our shores whereas many US folk dont and as a result their geography etc stinks!
Americans are seen as loud and brash which is why many tend to prefer the Canadians. Brits on the otherhand are generally seen to be more reserved with the stiff upper lip
Tally-ho!

The American were the young generation from the descendant of Europe with all the immigrants migrating to the US.
They were no difference to any of us.
Maybe at loss with their original roots.
Were at loss with their original identity of Mankind on planet earth.
Trace back in history how living human kind was running away and jump ship from their country of origin.
Trace and find out why are they jumping ship?
The blunders with slip-ups and human errors on the loss of original identity that had created on what went wrong out there on planet earth.

I am a neutral,but I lived in both countries so here it is...
Americans are more friendly,they like to chat.They know they are not too smart but they really like to hear about other countries,they ask questions..
English-always polite but they don¸t really mean it.They will even fire you politely.Not very warm.
In common they have that both are a little bit ignorant.But can you blame them.They have nice lives,why care about some poor country far,far away...
