Haha to hear an American say “are you having a laugh?” 😂😂😂 you are definitely becoming a Brit. 👍🏼
Amanda have you tried explaining to Americans how British police can do their jobs without guns? It’s something that my American friends just cannot grasp as even possible.

Jay walking seems the craziest thing to me. I can't imagine being arrested for just crossing the street

My wife and I went to a American restaurant and we had to cancel the main course as the starter was more than enough for both of us.

I notice you are sounding more British in some of your phrases.  Love the channel🍔

Not only do I get paid holidays in the UK, once I came down with flu at the start of my holiday so I got a doctor's report and converted the time off to sick pay and took my paid time off the next month.

I'd never let my child go in to a beauty pageant at that age

I'm sure I've heard some Americans talking about annual vacations saying they have to find cover for their job whilst they're away. If that's true it is truly crazy. As well as our mandatory paid leave, it is the company's responsibility to arrange cover, not the employee's.

I worked for a US oil company in the UK I got 5 weeks plus 8 days paid leave, 35 hour basic week, 1 year continuous sickness leave on full pay and 1 year on half pay and a NON contributory final salary pension at 50. My US colleagues were pissed.

The lack of holidays certainly explains the gun violence, the only way to get a break from work and still have a roof over your head and be fed is to go to prison.

I've visited the US a couple of times and found just about everything alien.
Purchase tax is crazy. Even if there are 7000 odd jurisdictions, there's nothing to prevent shops marking  goods with the price customers will actually pay. If that price can be calculated at the till, then why can it not be calculated in advance?

First time I visited states, Chicago, a guy said he gave a girl a playful pat on the fanny, nearly dropped my beer , you’ll know by now the different meanings

British prescription drugs always come with a leaflet that explains what the drug is for and all its possible side effects.

Best show so far. I’m a Kiwi living in Canada so I can relate to most of the comparisons.  The problem with the gun stuff is there is no responsibilities going along with the rights. So so silly. Tipping is another area that is not working for them. Just pay your workers right. Cooks usually get paid a lot less than the hotly dressed waitress. Good luck though if you think USA can change. They do think it’s the greatest place on earth and are not open to suggestions from outsiders.  Sorry USA give me Canada any day!  Yes we are big and have the same stupid tipping thing going but we don’t shot anyone over it!

Everything seems to be so expensive in America. I noticed a Brit on holiday on his site was asked if he wanted to give a tip when he was in a takeaway getting his food. 😲

When I was in the US as a university student, it took me about half a year to get used to the large size of cars.
At first I had the impression there was something wrong with my eyes and were magnifying things.
An other interestingly disgusting idea is buying bullets in pharmacies.
I guess whoever came up with the idea, considered them as a medicinal cure for everything lol.

I live in uk and USA . I’m English.  Food. In usa there are very few if any restrictions on ingredients.  Note : the ingredients in usa are designed to create taste addictions .. sugar, salts, corn syrups etc .

All service staff should gather together and go on strike at the same time, businesses  will not be able to operate,  unless they pay a living wage.

My US associate recently visited London for the first time and said our sandwiches were bland but I think it's less sugar and addictives that makes things taste different.
Never get used to bathroom stalls in the US! Always feel like the US is missing half a bathroom stall door somewhere!!

I was aware of everything here via 50+ years of watching American TV & films . I think there are probably many more European things that American visitors don't understand,  purely because Americans have been watching the same stuff as us 😊

With the guns I grew up in Australia and guns are fairly rare.  I know people can get guns for hunting but that is more of a country thing rather than in the suburbs.  I find companies that pay workers under the minimum wage with the expectation that tips will make up the difference is scummy.
