In America it's color.

In England it's colour.

America: the color is gray.

England: the colour is grey.

America: Here's to you!

England: Cheers mate!

To the Americans of OT: What do you think of England?

To the British people of OT: What do you think of America?

I am American. I think it's funny that they put beans on toast, but the more I think about it, the more I want to try it. It sounds pretty good, beans for breakfast. :)

Please keep it on the up beat and don't bash other countries k? Thanks.

Probably for the same reason why there are differences between Germany and England. And its pronounced "lorry" not "truck."

I love those cute little roads - narrow little laneways bordered by huge hedgerows that have been their since the first millenium. Driving down their you're driving on passages cut by the romans - you're driving the path of history. Sadly, you fellas can't say the same as you're still a baby I guess :P

They drive on the left in England because back in the carriage days you couldn't draw your sword and off the guy you passed.

We drive on the right because America used to hate England so much, they didn't want to drive on the same side of the road as them.

English people are pretty cool sometimes. Their women aren't the best but when they are hot, they ARE hot.

In terms of obesity the US and UK are #1 and #2 in the world. Not much difference there.

I think the obesity rate in children is higher in the UK. Well, that was until Jamie Oliver went on a crusade to get fried food removed from schools.

Well, in England they have government security cameras all over the place. In America the intrusion of government into privacy is more subtle. Don't know which is worse.

When I grew up lunch was dinner, dinner was teatime, and supper was if you eat anything in the evening. That may or may not have been my peculiar little hood, although the meal 'tea' is fairly standard............... I think.

America: Most of it sucks

England: All of it sucks

Sweden: FTW!

Edit: Oh and I think England would have been much better off if Guy Fawkes had succeeded.
