Brit Reacts to UK vs USA Culture, Explained 

This is towards your “hope that it lasts!”

I think Americans take failure as a learning experience not really a failure. We just learned we need to do something different to succeed. 🤷‍♀️

Don't let people tell you to be quiet. You are Absolutely an American inside. You would have been one of those optimistic British colonists who got on the boat. 😎

The guy who said "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take" is Canadian. And we Americans love him!

You are the type of person that the "American Dream" is tailor made for. The fact that you do a regular RU-vid channel, and you're willing to learn speaks to that.

Your channel is succesful not because of us, because of your personailty. You're funny, and witty, and cool to listen to. If you don't know something you just say so. I think it will continbue to grow if you just stay the real way that you are. You have the personality to take this channel far.

When you said “I hope it lasts” I practically cried for you. Ok. So I’m old enough to be your mother. And I have 4 sons and a daughter. And if one of them said “I hope it lasts” about their success, I would sit them down and say “you keep working as hard as you’re working and enjoy what you’re doing. Keep your passion for it and enjoy every second. You’re working so hard, and I’m so proud of you for your success! If it DOESN’T last it’s because something better is next. You don’t always succeed, but you just pick yourself up and use that as a stepping stone to do better in the next thing. Never ever quit trying to have the life you want. Be sensible, be honest, and be brave.”

I think Brits are more cautious and self depracating and Americans are like yes! let's just do it!

I love your videos BECAUSE of your reactions. You come across as warm, genuine, kind, accepting, and fun. You will be so welcome when you visit the US. Believe me, you will fit right in. That's why you are getting so much support from Americans. We love you!

Thomas Edison once said, "I haven't failed 1,000 times, I've proved 1,000 ways it won't work." (Paraphrased) I think this sums up the true American spirit of picking yourself up and trying again. Weather can be overcome, you can have a picnic in your living room.😊 I think there were some people with optimism still in the UK. 😂

"What can go wrong will go wrong" is what we call Murphy's law. We see it as a warning and challenge. For us, it doesn't really mean that we're bound to fail. It's a reminder to expect the unexpected for success.

It's not ambitious, it's optimistic. Americans just always turn things positive. We were raised with anything is possible; it's in our DNA

The "class" thing has a few examples in the media, movies, tv shows, etc. but, I think the best example of someone getting rich but everyone still looking down at her as being a lower class, even though she was from the US, is the Unsinkable Molly Brown. She was on the Titanic and, even though she was rich from her husband discovering oil, all the snooty, upper-class women talked about her behind her back and stuck their pointy noses up in the air, at her. However, when push came to shove and the SHTF, Molly was the one who took charge of the women of her group and saved quite a lot of people, including those who looked down on her. Watch the movie "Titanic" and you'll get exactly what I'm putting forth. Kathy Bates did a fine job portraying her.

So,I'm an American who married a Brit,and one time when my father in law was here visiting we went to a restaurant. His food came and it wasn't what he ordered. He would NOT tell the waitress and send it back. I couldnt stand seeing him sit there trying to eat something he didn't want,so I called the waitress over and had her take it back. Well. He was SO embarrassed,which I found endearing but hysterically funny🤣

I think your optimism and outgoing personality is what draws you to America. You’re looking for like minded people to be around.

I love British comedy for its own style and American for its. I love dry, snarky, quick wit of British shows like Absolutely Fabulous: Patsy, usual vodka and cigarette in hand smirks with a satisfied smile, "The last mosquito that bit me had to check into the Betty Ford Cinic!" (rehab) Or Little Brittain USA: Bored hospital receptionist, no matter the type, severity, or urgency of the patient's condition, checks her computer to confirm the appointment, but repeatedly answers, in an annoyed monitoned voice, "Computer says no." The patients go from minor situations to ridiculous emergency situations, but still, "Computer says no." 😄 Then I also love when British humor juxtaposes quick wit, and clever, intelligent word play with complete childlike silliness. Like Monte Python: Question: What's brown and sounds like a bell? Answer: Dung! 😄 As far as the American Dream. It depends on who you are as to how difficult it is to achieve for you idividually, because of many things. That being said, I'd say there is an overall belief that as an american, you have an opportunity to improve your means and upward mobility is available. Many of us teach our kids they can be anybody they wat to be. There is just a discrepancy in the ease of accessibility to the dream to all communities. Few people here will ever tell you it is impossible or discourage from it. Most will cheer you on and then high five you for the successes, and encourage you from setbacks. Those success celebrations/recognitions we show others, believe it or not, gives your brain a shot of dopamine that promotes drive for further successes. That's the idea. It's just a question of who it is truly available to because we aren't all starting at the same starting g place by a long shot. A huge part of our culture was unable to begin any kind of wealth until very recently in our counrty's history. Anyway, just some thoughts.

My British friend has a saying. "We British don't have a British dream because we are awake"

Dude, you have earned your American card. Your openness and genuine interest without insults or partiality is endearing and makes listening to you fun! Well done !

Bless your heart, you’re an extrovert and would absolutely thrive in the USA 🇺🇸

I will laugh out loud wherever I am if I feel like it. As I always heard in church, Make a joyful noise 😃

Im an American but I love British television. i would ask for British shows when I was toddler. i think it is way more sophisticated and relies on good writing and acting rather than huge production value. LOVE IT.

The "American Dream" is a strong drive for so many of us that it is just a natural attitude. I quit my job because I decided it was time to be my own boss. Now, I am my own boss making what I made before working 75% less and making my own schedule. It never once dawned on me that maybe I wouldn't be able to do it.

You got it right! An American would not say “I hope it lasts”. They would ask “how can I make this bigger?”

I moved recently to a new state and met a new friend in town she then introduced me to a friend she had and then I found out her friend is an L3WG Reacts fan! I love meeting fans of you! Keep a positive and keep going. Love you!

Can we agree that we're both great people? We feed on each other's music and make it better; we joined forces to create the COVID-19 vaccine, and the list goes on. I think we could use a bit of each other's complementary realistic and optimistic outlooks.

I think part of the reason Americans are more outgoing is that we understand how important it is to connect with other human beings. I met my best friend on a public bus because we decided to be polite and make conversation while we were riding instead of just sitting there being bored. If we just kept to ourselves I never would have gotten to know a really great person. If you smile at someone, even if they don't give one back, it's one more smile in the world.

As an American, this is an interesting perspective. I grew up in a single-wide trailer in Appalachia. Went to state university and law school on scholarship. I guess that I’m “upperclass” now, but every friend I have went through the same sort of ascension. So….a lot of Americans (in my experience) are just hard workers figuring out what works for our lifestyle. Hard work, focus, and drive are definitely rewarded here.

Americans absolutely love Brits! and that is 100% fact.

Doesn’t matter where you grew up or which school, you have such an awesome personality and if you were my friend, I’d wanna hear your accent 24/7. It’s so charming and warm. You will be adored if you move here. Be open and talk as loud as you want and be yourself. You’ll be absolutely adored !!! 😊😊

Stop saying that you have no friends. You have hundreds of friends here. We love ur honesty and wittiness. If we knew you needed help and we could help...we would.

I will say it's really funny the few times I've seen the UK parliament how they speak in a very polite manner while ripping each other to shreds.😂

Interesting video! I'm an American and have been watching endless hours of UK podcasts. I've confused the algorithm enough that now it sends me ads where all the actors speak with UK accents. LOL. It's funny to think that in the UK people are watching endless hours of US podcasts. Lewis, you're so funny and real I love watching your videos, but have to warn you that if you ever did come to America thinking all you have to do is go to a bar to make friends you're more likely to develop alcoholism than a bunch of friends. I've known far too many Americans who thought bars would be their ticket to friendships who ended up alcoholics instead. Americans are friendly, but the ones who hang out in bars regularly tend to feel sorry for themselves and are there to drown their sorrows, not make friends. And if they do be-friend you they'd likely be wanting money and favors from you. Now, if you have friends first you can always go to bars to celebrate with them, but if bars are your strategy for making friends in a new country it's not likely to go well. You're much more likely to make real lasting friends here if you take up a hobby, take some classes, volunteer or exercise.

I am so much more proud to be an American compared to my friends. I think it’s because I grew up very poor, welfare and government housing (the projects) for a few years of my life, but I was able to become the top 1% in the USA for earnings. I can travel and live where I want. Why? I’m nothing special. No one expected much from me really, but because I was born here I was always made to believe I could do and be whatever I wanted….and I always felt the sky’s the limit. I’m incredibly grateful. I still feel to this day that anywhere other than here, my life would have been different. I feel incredibly blessed to be from here. Even with all of our issues, you have equal opportunity here, but that doesn’t always mean equal outcomes…. It means you have the opportunity to go for it.

You may be raised in the "project"Lewis, but you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make something out of yourself. Don't let your childhood or the country you live in define what you become. You're already well on the road to build your own dream. You define you! Best successes in the future!

It's so interesting that the British say, "Hope for the best, but expect the worst" because Americans say, "Be prepared for the worst, but hope for the best." Just inverting the clauses changes the entire mood. I'm a retired American secondary English teacher whose mother's side of the family is of UK descent (although we've been stateside for centuries). My maternal grandmother (who was of English, Scottish, and Welsh descent) was also an English teacher. She instilled a great appreciation in me for the English language and literature. Many Brits and Americans don't realize that idioms, proverbs, and colloquialisms have extremely long shelf lives-- hundreds of years or more. Of course, Shakespeare created hundreds of them. The earliest American colonists came to America while he was still alive or shortly after his death. For that reason, I'm assuming that the outlook about hoping for the best came from Britain and was imported across the pond with the colonists. I wonder which is the original way of saying it?

I'm a born n raised proud Texan in San Antonio and can tell ya hell yeah, we love you Brits along with any other (legal) migrants. Y'all are are largely treated warmly as long as you ain't an asshat! (And at least eventually learn how to drive on our freeways if relocating to Texas) Lol happy to contribute a donation and show my support to, imho, the most genuine and entertaining reactor... Reactionist? Reactuber?... Dude who reacts on RU-vid. And don't fall for that defeatist bullshit. It's a control tactic. He who loses in the mind before the battle has already lost the war. Being realistic with your goals isn't an opposing view to optimistic ambition and drive, it's the counterpart! And it's perfectly within your perview to achieve success with this reasonable endeavor given your momentum so don't stop this train dawg, just get it! Remember, If you eat the tapeworm of defeat, it'll consume the possibility of victory within!

I love your reactions. I noticed one difference in your words. You say “lower CLASS”. We say “poor people” or “working poor”. Our words express an open door. Words matter.

It struck me when you said " I hope it lasts". I don't think Americans are thinking that it will always continue, be at a job or a stroke of good luck, or a RU-vid channel. I think the main attitude difference comes from the idea that we understand It won't last forever, but will enjoy the ride. When it's done we move on to the next thing. I feel like Brits know that it won't last, but they'll be sad that it ended.

As far as idealism and realism go, Americans aren’t just crazy idealists who think everything’s going to go their way. All the expressions he used to show that Brits expect the worst are also commonly used here.

I'm American around 40 and used to watch a comedy that I think is from the UK called "Are You Being Served" it was funny.

I agree that people who came to America way back in the day had a wandering/ adventurous spirit. It was proven several times in our history. Like the pilgrims, the westward movement in covered wagons, then when the dustbowl happened and so many people packed up their lives and moved west again. Each time they literally risked EVERYTHING, even their lives, for what they hoped would be better. In a smaller but still very frightening way, I moved with nothing but my car, a blanket, pillow and a sack of clothes to a whole new state. I had no job, home, food, nothing. I did it to hope for a better life. It took about 6 months to get back on my feet. Another 1.5 years after that to realize my dream of a much improved life with my own house, a real job and ability to raise my son the way I wanted to raise him.

I live in the U.S. My grandkids always say, “You can’t say can’t. You have to at least try.”

I met a lot of British people in LA. I remember one time they were pleasantly surprised by my Google Home device because it has a British accent. I hadn't told them before how much I enjoy the British accent. I get happy to hear that British or any other people from outside the United States appreciate us or our country. We may be a powerful country but we're a very young country and it shows from time to time. Sometimes people take our naivete for stupidity.

My mom loved British humor and I grew up watching a lot of British television and movies. My moms favorite saying was "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst." I think I definitely carry that attitude of cautious optimism. In fact when I first married, something my husband and I had to work through was his positivity vs my negative realistic view on things.

I’m from Texas & lived several years in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. It was very beautiful but I have to admit the rain & lack of sun affected me a lot . Once I moved back to where it’s mostly sunny I instantly felt better . ( they say it’s a lack of vitamin D & sun exposure)

My husband and I both come from low-income families. We both entered the military when we were young. We worked hard, earned our degrees, and live comfortably. There is always a way; you just have to be open to new possibilities and work hard to seize them. When you look back on your life, you always regret the things you didn't try. So, give everything a shot. If you fail, pick yourself up and try again.

The part where he essentially says that the ancestors of America are the ones who got on the boats and stayed here is so true. If you have spare time, you should watch the series on the History Channel of “The Men Who Built America”. SO GOOD. While we may not agree with everything they did, you can see the sheer drive in each of them to build businesses, products, conveniences, etc. And these were men of the 1800s, which is when things really started. It really is a fascinating TV series.

It’s really quite interesting the theory about something inherently optimistic about the colonists. But then I got to thinking, the colonist Lords who sponsored the settlers most often didn’t go on to personally inhabit the colonies they helped establish. Often people who were shipped off to colonies didn’t have many options. Many were indentured servants, or political exiles. Just some food for thought. But of course optimism and grit can be a learned character trait brought on by hardship, so maybe that is more like how that American trait evolved.

Someone in the comments below said you would've been one of those Brits that got on the boat to the New World. I agree, which is why you should get on a plane and come on over!!! Don't hesitate; research, make a plan and just do it❣️

As an American, and as a person, I am 100% convinced you can do incredible things. That doesn’t mean doing those things are easy. It takes a ton of work and a lot of risk. But you should never let anyone or anything stop you from maximizing your life. Also, it’s AWESOME to hear you want to move to America!! Just remember to consider all of the states and don’t get caught up in just moving to the famous ones…lord knows I love them, but America is more than just Texas, New York and California. Best of luck 😊

I am a recent subscriber. You make me laugh! You are soo entertaining and funny. Keep up the good work! Btw, I am a 78 y/o woman and appreciate your content. We always like the Brits.

Brad Williams. He's a comedian. If you don't know of him, you'll like him. If you do know of him, you won't forget him. :)

My favorite British comedy " Keeping up appearance's "

You said, "I hope it lasts" regarding your success on this channel. Don't worry. Compared to other Brit reactors at least we Americans can understand your accent. You're also entertaining, curious and willing to learn. You have a positive attitude and you’re young. It’s fun to watch your enthusiasm and amazement about American things. So keep doing what you’re doing-I think you’re going to be around for a LONG time. 😃👍

I agree with the weather theory. 😂 Here in America we have several different climates to enjoy.

We Americans have been accused of having “an annoying talent for playing dumb.” I tend to agree with that statement, except it isn’t annoying. 😁

My husband has an ancestor who grew up in the slums of London, came to America as an indentured servant, then became a soldier in the Revolutionary War where he became a war hero, worked his way up after he got out, and died a wealthy landowner. This is the origin story of many Americans. It’s not hard to believe in the American dream because it’s quite literally everyone’s family story.

I've heard both sides my Mom was England & Dad was USA 😂😂😂❤❤ love them both ❣️ I guess that's why they truly did the "till death did they part" 54 years😅

Back in elementary school teachers would tell a student who said 'I can't' "never say I can't, you're an Amer-I-can!" We've been taught since before we could remember that we can do anything & to never give up. It definitely shows in our culture, good and bad

I'm born and raised in the USA by British parents. We were in England visiting family. My mom and auntie took my son (9 yrs old at the time) to Bournemouth. He saw some men playing cricket, so he walked over to the bleachers, sat down to watch. Mom and auntie saw him, and were freaking out. Turns out he had just sashayed in through the gate, which was open, and made himself at home. Mom and auntie are standing on the other side of the gate trying to get his attention because they daren't go it as it's a private club - members only. My son was just studying how to play and was going to ask them if he could play. 😂

Our mentality is when one door closes, another one opens. If you look back in your life, you can probably say the same. Almost always, when something (you think is )bad happens in your life, it’s usually for a reason and there was a better opportunity waiting for you on the other side. We adore you Lewis! Can’t wait to see your content when you finally get here!

Haha..I've always said that the best of Europe, Britain, Scotland and Ireland came over to America centuries ago. So get yourself over here Lewis! Some of my ancestors including badass Myles Standish (my 11th great grandfather) came over on the Mayflower in 1620. Happy Thanksgiving. He was at the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony. Watching this in a break between roasting turkey and dressing, making gravy, mashed potatoes, yams, biscuits and pumpkin pie. When you are here, find yourself a nice Midwestern American farm girl, marry her and you will be a happy man for the rest of your life. :) BTW - we Americans will always have Britain's back, and we know you feel the same toward us. Cousins across the sea.

I'm an American and I absolutely love British comedy. Dry British comedy is everything. I love it

It's because in America we are taught from a young age that we can be anything and if we fail then we just pick ourselves up and try again. Tomorrow is a new day!! Reality doesn't factor in.

I knew a psychiatric nurse from Seattle. I told her I had read they had the highest suicide rate in the nation (at that time) because of how many days it rained. She said it wasn't the rain. It was how many days they had grey skies. I love your channel! Your excitement and kindness are refreshing. You'd make a great American!

We are all your friend Lewis. Thank you for such great content. I can't wait to see you trying the food you're receiving!

I’m Mexican American and I’ve watched Mrs. Brown boys every episode and loved every episode. that’s when you have to know that you were put on this earth to appreciate every human.and I was not put on earth to judge them for people for there differences.

In America if you’ve never failed you’ve never tried anything and you always have to accept where you are at but see yourself on the upswing

American here and I love his summary of the reasons for our differences, as well as the acknowledgement that we're very close in many ways. I love the illustration of the siblings separated at birth. That's how I've looked at it. Also, his explanation of the differences between American and British humor. I absolutely LOVE British humor. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and cut my teeth on the likes of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers (even Benny Hill, lol). Later my kids and I loved The IT Crowd and still constantly quote lines from our favorite episodes. I have many favorite current British comedians and totally "get" the differences between American and British humor. I love them both. This was a great video and he really did hit the nail on the head, although in exaggerated ways. Americans generally love the British for many reasons (and many of us trace our roots back to UK countries so we really are family in that way) and just want to be loved back. The best thing is that we can appreciate and value both cultures equally, nobody has to be the winner or the loser here.

Just keep doing what you are doing and it will last! You have a certain charisma and realness that people clearly enjoy.

When I was 8 I got my first black and white TV and discovered a show called The Benny Hill Show (I had to sneak to watch it🤪). I loved that show and love the British humor.

I'm a Texan in my 60's. I've done alot of traveling abroad and in the states. I've lived other places including traveling Europe for a couple years after college studying art. I moved back to Texas in 2006 because I was ready to be home. Even when I was young I found British humor HILARIOUS. I'm a BIG Monty Python fan. Also, Faulty Towers, Are You Being Served, Mrs Brown, Neighbors, etc. Great shows all. I love British humor. Yall can also say things that are rude and use cuss words and it doesn't sound ugly because of your accent. Lol Here is another example: There's a movie called "Death at a Funeral ". Originally a British fil m and so freaking funny!! So I'm channel surfing one night and I saw it was on. What a disappointment to find it was an American remake with all American actors. It was okay but barely. Many people here think that's the original. When tgey watch the original (British) made film; they fully understand what I'm saying!!! Hilarious. Don't sell your comedy short. It's great!!

😂 My husband always tell me I talk too loud, lol. What's funny is he's just as loud. I think that Americans can be loud, especially when out at a public venue or when having an amusing conversation. We can get quite animated and loud but we're also having fun.😊

I'm American but I loved The Benny Hill Show! Hilarious!

Great note - Americans love UK traditions. I was in the US military, and I love watching British soldiers drill. ❤

I'm an African American from the USA and my favorite British show growing up was Mr. Bean. I laughed out loud at that guy!

As an American I can honestly say that I think a balance would do wonders because sometimes American can be I little to ambitious so much so that people can loose everything they care about it the pursuit of something greater I think we get so caught up in making our life better that we tend to take the things we have for granted

Bro don’t ever change. You said you came from a lower class upbringing but you are already on your way. Just keep doing what you are doing and be yourself. Not that I have to tell you this I can tell you are well aware. It’s great to watch someone who is real and has real reactions to things. If you have people telling you to be quiet it just because you are self assured and enjoy life and that makes people that are just passing time uncomfortable.

Lewis, as far as I'm concerned, you're a brother from another mother. Even though you have never met me or my family, the moment you cross that pond and get within living diastance from where I am, you are family, not just as a guest. You will have a place at my table in my home, and anybody with you is equally accepted. Why? It's how I was raised. I'm an 'old school' American who is proud to have your country as an ally against the forces of evil in this tired old world we occupy together. It's an honor to know you.

As an American who loves British comedy, it's true. Blackadder, Toast of London, etc. All fall short of achieving well...anything.

I think what he said about the religious ideologies are a massive reason for American idealism in general, and it is interesting to consider that people who took the risk of coming here must have passed on optimism ideals to their children, like “look here we are in the land of opportunity and can make our lives what we want with hard enough hard work and gumption” that’s definitely a dominant ideology here

Some sayings I hear often and grew up with “Once you hit rock bottom, the only way is up”, “Things can only get better”, we also had a “Just do it” poster at school. Another saying we had at school was “try, try, and try again”. One field trip we went to see a play and the speaker there said “There are no mistakes, as long as you learn from them”. I think it’s also how we’ve been raised with group positivity. Like if someone is ever being self-depreciating we instantly stop them and disagree. We also don’t tend to allow people to be pessimistic all the time. Like we have the sayings don’t be such a negative nelly, Debby downer, party pooper, etc…

My parents were from different countries. My mom British and my dad Norwegian that immigrated to the USA when he was 3. He died when I was 8 years old when we lived in England. My mom and me and one brother came to the US in the 1970s. My older brother was drafted into the US Army to go to Vietnam. He was 29 when he died. In fact I’m the only one left but I have 2 children and 6 grandchildren from my kids. Life is short, enjoy it while you can.

Well Lewis, it definitely seems like you naturally have the aforementioned ”optimistic DNA” in your blood. 😊 EVERY video you upload is so fun, energetic, and generally optimistic-and it’s contagious my dude! As an American, you help put ME in a better mood after watching your reaction vids! If-or more optimistically, WHEN-you move here to the States, you’re gonna fit in with us crazy bunch just fine 😜 Keep doing what your doing man. It’s so fun to be on this journey with you as your channel continues to grow!

The geography may play a part too, the US lets you go directly from the rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula to the Rockies to Death Valley to Everglades to the Great Plains to mega city… it’s easy to see opportunities when you can literally change your environment, practically at will.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is not said in the US when something good is happening. It’s said when something bad is happening, but it still has that upbeat optimism about it - that you can make something good from the bad.

25:10 we do love you all!!! It’s just funny how I picture UK though. I picture gray/cream stone buildings, clouds, lots of birds, and men and women on peacoats, tea instead of beer, and lots of soldiers walking around with weird hats. I KNOW that’s not how it is, but that’s how I picture it when people mention the UK.

Love this video! When you come to America you absolutely need to vlog your experience!!

I think the American thought in your RU-vid scenario would be more like “What can I do to keep this going?” It’s like, “if I work even harder, I can sustain and grow this.” Great reaction BTW

As an American I agree with his point about the fact ancestors sailed to go somewhere unfamiliar. Americans still do that daily leave their home state to pursue their own dreams and make it. I did it to a state halfway across the country and it was the best adventure and decision.

Bro, I've only watched a couple of your videos and just like the others, I am 100% certain that you would love it here! Your attitude towards the American military is very inspiring and makes me feel proud of my country. I'm not sure how old you are but... Quit fooling around and gitchass over for a visit 😂 much love, great job!! ❤️ Sent a super thanks too, first one over!

This is what he meant about always being lower class even if we become wealthy, we will always be the ones that need to be told to quiet down so we do not embarrass the people around us. We just don't fit in with the upper class settings. Rich but still from the ghetto 😂. They will always know you did not come from money. To me that's all the more reason to be proud of yourself when you succeed. Can't wait to see you hit the million subscriber mark. 🎉

The class structure definitely makes sense, and there are remnants of it in very WASPy country clubs in the U.S.. I've seen old people that are nearly broke, talking shit about new money, based on where they went to school, how they made their fortune, etc.

Yesss! Love the IT crowd!

My Mom was born in Ireland but raised in England, then came to America when she was 16,then got married to my Dad at 18,So most of my mpms relatives lived in Manchester, U.K. I spent many summers there and totally loved England, Especially miss Fish and chips,and Curry mile❤❤❤❤❤

The fast food industry developed as way to provide food that was consistent in quality, cleanliness and prepared in sanitary conditions. Back in the days you really took your chance and risked getting a food borne illness at dodgy " greasy spoon" restaurants

The idea of never being upper-class regardless of wealth is the concept of Old vs. New money. Old money looks down on new because they feel they just are a flash in the pan where you are part of a long dianisty of power.

I think this is one of the most genuine looks at the differences between the two without going in too deep and without putting either side down. The weather thing is a huge deal though because in areas of the country where the weather tends to be more like the UK, you do statistically find more depressed people with mood disorders. Compare that to some place like California where the rate of happiness is much higher, for many reasons, but great weather is always top of the list.

When I was in college I was studying Communications and one of the topics that truly stuck with me is the idea of Glocalization. Which is the idea of a local GLOBAL community, which is enforced by instant communication, entertainment, social media and of course the internet. In the past it could take days or months for information to reach the USA from places like the Middle East or Asia (global), however these days that timeframe is MINUTES just like your local community, hence the concept of glocalization. We as a species are more intertwined than most think and the concept of instant mass communication is further shortening the "distance" AND "difference" between countries and each other.

I think I can sum up the reasoning and START, MAYBE (?), of America’s positivity and ambition........ “Manifest Destiny!” We came here and started a country. We were at the bottom...... then we started expanding! People knew they could just move west for a better life! Then we decided we no longer wanted to be “under the thumb” of the United Kingdom. So we fought, WITH FAR LESS THAN THE UK, and WON our independence! After that we just kept growing and growing! NOW we are the most powerful country in the world. We are one of the youngest, yet the most powerful! 🤘🏻😝👍🏻
