Re: Stairs/Lifts/Ramps. This has to do also with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Places legally are required to be wheelchair (and other mobility equipment) accessible.

There are some exceptions for historic buildings and such, so it's not literally everywhere. But yeah, pretty much anything built or renovated since the mid twentieth century, is going to be accessible at least to traditional wheelchairs, and *new* stuff is typically designed to be accessible to those large motorized-cart wheelchairs that are about the size of a European automobile.

It's worth noting London is at the same latitude as part of Alaska... most of Europe is way farther north than most of the US. I went to Ireland in August and nobody told me to bring a parka sheesh. Also, most of the US doesn't have the generally dreary rainy climate of the UK. Though it's also worth noting that I don't think the US ice behavior changes that much when it actually does get cold and rainy or even in cities like Seattle.

I think the "baby friendly" feature you experienced was actually due to the A.D.A. or Americans with Disabilities Act.

And the law is right on red nation wide at all times unless specifically forbidden.

Great video .. really. My dad was in the US Air Force and we lived at RAF Upper Heyford, Oxford Co., England. The family stayed in an English village hotel in Deddington for about 30 days until housing was available on base. This was 1960 ... so only 15 years after the end of WWII .. the Brits were still recovering. One day at dinner a parent ask one of the dining staff for ice .. they wanted to make ice tea. The hotel had a single ice cube tray. One. For the entire hotel. They brought my parents glasses with a single ice cube in each glass. How much has changed since is simply mindboggling having actually been a part of the "old days".

Rural areas in Europe are pretty bad at public transit. I'm from a low population city in Spain and there is barely public transit. You might have a bus stop if you happen to be in between two large cities. I live in the US now and transit is definitely not as bad as many people think it is. Europe or Asia have a higher density of people per square mile and cities are not as spread out, therefore building and maintaining lines need less maintenance cost and construction cost while making lines more usable. Plus in the US people love their cars. I definitely love my car. I hated using public transport when I lived in France and England.

According to Wikipedia, all 50 states now have right on red. (This wasn't always the case. I have early-childhood memories of adults asking one another, at a red light while traveling, "Does [state] have right on red?") In states that do allow it, intersections where it's not allowed are marked, which is why you saw signs on certain intersections telling you not to do it there. Note that, even when you legally can turn right on red, you do still have to yield to traffic that has a green light. And it's never legally mandatory: the worst that happens if you wait for the light, is the driver behind you gets impatient and beeps the horn at you.

When go through a drive-thru, which obviously has no free refills, they tend to load up on the ice so only 25% or less of the cup is the drink. Those are massive profits. Many people say "light ice" or "no ice" to keep from being cheated this way. This applies to iced coffees where they don't give you an option but you barely getting a tiny cup of actual coffee.

Regarding ice, yes it's automatically served in every cold drink unless you ask for no ice. You can also ask for light ice if you don't want as much, or just a cup of ice by itself, if you want it for something else.

​​​@@chrischar9428I think that's sever/bar tender, not the host that seats you in US speak. Ice is implied unless you request otherwise when ordering. Exception would be spirits, mixed drinks. Neat= no ice not chilled. Up=chilled no ice ing glass. Rocks=ice in the glass. Straight Up= same as UP, but a mixed drink. Straight=you might get neat you might get up. Maybe regional or an ambiguous fragment of straight no chaser?

When making a right turn on red, you treat the red light like a stop sign. You check to make sure it is safe to complete the turn. You don’t just act as if it’s a green light and roll through the red light. I see too many people who are narcissistic inconsiderate lunatic drivers who don’t even stop at the red light to make the right turn. They just barrel through it like it’s green.

It's not just for strollers (prams) but for wheelchairs etc.. US is VERY handicap aware as we should be! All people need to have access to places!! Ya, you have to watch those U-turns . . some places you can make them anywhere -- in Ohio it's by City and most are NO U-turns!! Only way you can make a U-turn if there is a sign that says U-turn OK! So that goes by State/City - so basically you have to pay attention to the City ordinances/State.... Ya, if you don't want ice - you have to say little or NO ice or you are getting it! (Thank goodness!) YES PART 2!!!
