Besides the fact that England is full of amazing architecture, and we aren't?

The English don't have a president like the U.S The English have a royal family As it says the United States has states- much larger expanses of land I believe that the English don't have.We don't have states.

They have different phrases and words that sometimes leaves us Americans clueless. Are you from USA? Then you probably don't ask, "Shall I put the kettle on?" I can think of other things that they say, but I can't think of the things Americans say that they don't. Here on AB just today I learned something from England, that to "grass someone up" is to tell on someone for doing something wrong.

Fries = Chips Hamburger = Burger Bar = Pub Side Walk = Foot path Soda = Fizzy drink or pop Eraser = Rubber Mall = Shopping Centre CentER = CentRE Gas = Petrol

English humor is often different than in the US. Things that people in the UK consider funny, people in the US sometimes just think is odd. I like English humor though. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_humour

The United States has Dr.Laura in it where England doesnot. Be happy you don't have her in England.

American appliances don't work in England. The outlets are different.

The Brits have afternoon tea the Americans don't.

Dental Care.

The US has never really embraced capitalism with the same fervour that Britain has.

We call things different names, (chips/fries, crisps/chips, drawing pins/tacks etc) The British have a very very different sense of humour, we like to mock people, mock ourselves, be rude, mock the government, generally just make fun of people! We only have 4 TV channels, inless you buy a digital box (free TV) or dish (sky, not free). Almost everyone here drives manuals, americans generally buy autos. We use the metric system, america uses the imperial. Different money. We have quite strict opening hours, even our '24/7' shops actually have to close between about 11pm-9am on saturday/sunday and between 5pm-6am on sunday/monday (roughly). Our country is much much smaller, and much more densly populated. We have more public transport, it's not really very good, but you can get all round england on trains, coaches and buses. Our roads are very different compared to yours, we don't really have any 16 lane highways or anything, we mainly have 2 lane 'dual carriageways' and 3 lane 'motorways'... we also have ALOT of traffic jams. We have roundabouts, and no 4 points. we don't have walmarts *sob* The closest you get are tesco's superstores. Everything here is really really expensive, I worked out that 1 gallon of petrol (gas) works out at the equivilent of $7.00. We have a different voting system, but don't ask me to explain it. We have state schools, which are free, and 'public' schools which are actually private schools, and cost money. We have preschool (aged under 4) primary schools which are broken down into: infant school (age 4-7) junior school (7-11) Then secondary schools which is 11-16. You can then either leave school or go on to college or sixth form (16-18) then to university (18-21). Almost all schools have a uniform. It's now illegal to smoke in public indoor spaces. You can smoke from 16 and drive a moped from 16, drive a car from 17, drink and vote at 18. We have a socialist government, schooling is free if you want it, we pay high taxes but get lots of benefits (single parents, child allowance, jobseekers allowance etc) we have the NHS as well as private medical. Most cars here are small, I don't know anybody who has a car over 2.2ltrs, my dad (who lives in america) has a 3.8ltr or something rediculous. It's always grey here, except for a few wonderful days in the summer, when we get a heatwave and everyone complains. There are many towns in england where if you run over an animal, you have to pay for it. We have a much older history, and whereas in america you can go for miles only really seeing new-builds and modern housing, in england you can't, we have much more of a hotchpotch of styles. We work on 240v, you work on 100?v, and the plug shapes are different. We ALWAYS have an earth wire, as it's considered dangerous not to. It's illegal to wear hoodies in many shopping centres in the UK. You will hear most swearwords on TV (except for the 'C' word) after 9oclock. English people have grotty teeth, the nhs doesn't pay for anything cosmetic, and generally... dentists here are shite. ok I really can't think of anymore right now, but i'm sure there are.

how you pronounce aluminum...

A faggot in the UK is a meatball!!!!!!!!!!!

Their views on the Revolutionary War.

The two biggest differences I've noticed are government and space. The British government provides many services that are private sector owned in the US. (This makes it all less effective and makes it available to everyone.) It's a very differently structured government, not limited to merely having a Queen! It's a many-party system instead of essentially two parties. Great Britain is a LOT smaller and more densely populated. It's a very tamed land. You don't find vast expanses of unused land the way you do in the US. You find farms and lots of efficient use of what they have. Cars, houses, appliances, and most man-made things are all smaller and take up less space, but there are castles and ruins and all sorts of HUGE fun things like that, which are bigger than things you'll find in the States, generally, and MUCH older and cooler.

America has Bush. England has Blair... i'd rather have Blair.

The Beatles came from Britain!
