(Previous rude comment by me about P Doherty edited out for irrelevance and bitchiness reasons).
Not so many baseball caps worn in London these days, at least not where I live and work. American fashion has had a huge influence on what Brits wear since at least the 60's. Has any British fashion in recent times caught on in the States? I can't imagine so really.

Americans love tucking into fried chicken and Mexican food, whereas the Brits go for kebabs and curry. Both sides love pizza. I was struggling to think of a classic British food taken on by the American, and suddenly remembered the humble sandwich:
However, it's fair to say that the Americans have made an artform out of sandwich-making, whilst us Brits are often happy to have a cheddar cheese sandwich.

You make the cheddar cheese sandwich sound like a poor relative of other types of sandwich, when really it is a king among the type of snack that is made by placing a filling between two pieces of bread (except in Sandinavia where only one piece of bread is used, with a topping instead of a filling).
I don't know why I posted that. I don't know why I post most of what I post. |

Do the Americans go on about the weather as much as us Brits do?
sonicl - in no way do I wish to denigrate the cheese sandwich. I was merely pointing out that the Americans would garnish the sandwich with about 17 different dressings plus a harvest of salad toppings, and would offer a choice of about 15 types of bread.

The French, hur hur hur. I don't really know much about US cheese, except for the Federal-donated Government Cheese. Come on US-ers, recommend me some of your finest cheeses.

I took that question from a spoken word poem that takes the mickey out of the rivalry between Canadians and Americans. It's on this album:

from what i've noticed on this board, americans lack social cohesion, whereas the bitish hunt strictly in packs. have you ever seen a british "loner"? no-- they are all highly socialized, know what's expected of them, and behave accordingly. that has its pros and cons of course-- what you gain in group cohesion you lose in diversity and originality of the individual. then again, jack the ripper was british-- but what if he was actually an american expat??
