Being British / American

[Mallorca 1]

You are going to fill this topic in, not me What makes you british / american, what types of actions/gestures/expressions?

 

Drinking tea? Eating @ McDonalds (american)? Being extremely polite? Using nigga instead of coloured person? I want as many cliches as you can come up with!

The british like talking about the weather. If you dont know how to start a conversation - start by bring up the weather subject. Especially with older people!

There are many differences with the way we do things too. For example todays date the english way is 16/01/07, but americans will write it 01/16/07.

This is a cliche. It's not false most of the time, they are just more relaxed and friendly than Romanians (or other nationalities). :blink:.
