OP - wow thank you so much!! I'm from the UK (should have clarified that oops) so I know what life's like over here but all of this is definitely helpful. Especially the stuff about tubes/money/restaurants. Walking and driving on the left is another big one I hadn't thought of. Seriously thanks so much *screenshots all of this*

SAYRT: Haha, so I've been explaining your own country to you. *facepalm* I hope I got it right, or at least mostly right. I'll let you know if I can think of anything else since I've been to both the UK and the US lots of times.

And also... Deep-fried Mars bars. I don't think they exist anywhere other than in the UK. It would be fun to have Foggy try one. (I've always wanted to but never got around to it.)

If anything, you just told the OP what Americans would find different about the UK.

Oh, and also.... ROUNDABOUTS! They don't really have them much in the US, and certainly not the kind where you need to pick a lane prior to driving in, depending on where you want to turn.

Another thing: aircon. That's standard in the US, and rare in normal homes in thethe UK. I think both would suffer a lot during one of those heat waves without aircon.
