Answer 1

money money money.

oh and the English are better at EVERYTHING (Including squirrel hunting)

Answer 2

I have a whole list, but here are a few.

7.Petrol or gasoline as they call it, is very inexpensive.
8.American school buses are painted yellow and are ugly. This is a safe guard to protect school children. (Not the ugliness)
9.Car park attendants are known as Meter Maids.
10.When dining, Americans cut their food using a knife and fork and then abandon the knife.
11.They finish eating, leaving their knife and fork in an untidy fashion.
12.When dining, they pick up their food more readily than does a Briton.
13.They are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively patriotic to the point of blindness.
14.They are super patriotic. Their school children are obliged to recite “The Pledge of Allegiance”, first thing every school day.

If you are interested I shall show you the whole file.

Answer 3

Spelling and pronouncing of words.
Different words for same thing.
The vast majority of Americans have never left the USA. More than half of UK adults have ventured abroad.
Americans are hopeless at Geography which is why they have to be told that London is in England and Paris is in France.

Answer 4

In the UK most people still speak English. As yet no Prime Minister has got his brother to wangle his election.
The UK has experienced war at home, the USA always manage to keep war well away from home.

Answer 5

I lived in USA for 4 months, and discovered that America cannot make bread or decent chocolate to save their lives! They do not, however, put a limit on buying painkillers as in the UK, which is always a good thing for those in pain regularly!!!

Answer 6

Life in the States is a bliss. Parts of the UK is ok, but I would rather live in Queens, or South side Washington DC. Their roads are little bigger than our sidewalks here. Trains; crowded with people who have hygiene problem which so toxid, kids 5 and under are likely to suffocate unless they are wearing oxygen masks. and ohh yeah, u have to pay for parking almost everywhere u go. 'Bloody' Fools (OMG i just swore din't I?)

Answer 7

On the whole.. sense of humour.

I've been there on holidays quite a few times and it surprises me how "brain dead" most of them seem to be when humour is used in conversation.

For some reason those that got the UK wit and also had a sense of humour were also the ones that happened to be anti-Bush.

Answer 8

It's not so much the differences between the US and the UK that people should worry about but the differences betwen English speakers and the rest of the world.......

For those of you who watch what you eat...

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Answer 9

It's not spelt the same plus all the intelligent people are in the UK

Answer 10

about 3000+ miles. The size of the countries, the money, the food, the people. Need I say more?

Answer 11

England writes better rock music for the most part, and americans don't consider "bloody" a swear word. Plus Americans don't like Soccer, we like American football. Soccer is for gay people and europeans. Same difference.
