I'll tell you what the issue is (as I see it

) People forget that we're two entirely different nations, because we speak the same language...
But English really is the
only thing that is relatively the same.
As a Brit, let's list the things I have to bear in mind if I visit a foreign country:
1. Drive on the wrong side of the road.
2. Use different money
3. Different customs
4. Different LAWS
5. Different legal ages for stuff
6. Language barrier problems
7. Different illnesses that hardly anyone has in the UK
8. Different biting/poisonous animals/insects that we don't have in the UK
9. Different food
10. Different religions
11. Different racial intolerances
12. Different things that are socially acceptable
12. Different health care so big problems if you fall ill.
The list goes on and on...
Am I talking about France here, or India, or China?
No, America...
As superficially alike as the UK and the US may seem. They are actually poles apart.
