I do get a bit fed up with Americans saying that they don't have a class system in the US, yet one hears about "trailer trash" and "Hollywood Celebrities"
-
We're not unfriendly. We just respect personal space.
-
American class is based on money. Ours isn't.
-
We Brits do not like in the face salespeople. If we wish help, then we ask. We hate over the top FAKE emotions. No class system??????? What joke.
-
To quote Micky Flanagan, speaking of Americans, ''after a while their positivity exhausts you''.
-
If you want 'direct' try Yorkshire, Liverpool and Glasgow. London is not representative of the UK. Driving on the left in the UK is not the 'wrong side'.
-
The financial sector and derivatives may have a Hindenburg moment if the US Treasury market collapses.Rising market illiquidity in the $14.8 trillion U.S. Treasury market, according to Bank of America, might affect other financial markets.
-
Judging Brits based on her experience in LONDON. It's like me judging ALL Americans based on a single experience with a person from New York...
-
Why is she comparing rural American to London. That's like comparing Windsor to New York or Chicago.
-
FFS, judging English people on what you experienced in London is like judging all Americans on what you experience in NYC.
-
No class system in the US? Is she kidding??????
-
I don't know what makes Americans think that the British would speak American and not English.
-
You don't say hello to everyone in New York City. Dont compare London to Appleton Wisconsin.
-
Been to New York several times nobody but nobody say hello.
-
My UK friend describing an American woman getting the vapors after hearing about a failed terrorist attack: "You know how dramatic they can be."
-
The class system in Britain is based on hundreds of years of feudalism; the American class system is mostly based on modern capitalism. Yes, there is a difference. One is more entrenched and taken seriously by its adherents; the other is more fluid and casual.
-
Having been in NYC, Iāve never come across the level of rudeness I experienced there, but not all Americans are like that
-
The "upspeak" trend among younger Americans drives me up a wall. Every sentence they utter sounds like they're asking a question. It's even worse than the Valley Girl speaking trend of the 1980s.
-
Come to the North of England, most local folk say hello and are polite, and are very socialable.
-
I hate to break it to you but as a US citizen that's lived in SE Asia for 22 years us "yanks" are not looked upon fondly by Australians either.
