Acting. Ricky Gervais had it right when he said that now all the stars do is inject steroids and go to the gym to get jacked for their roles. Most of the best actors seem to be British now (Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, etc.)

Curse

I used to play alot of Xbox and i would get in lobbies with brits and when things would get heated in a conversation they would call us "Rats".
I really think Rat when emphasized correctly in England is considered a bad word

Traditions and preserving history. Admittedly they have a pretty good head start.

They all cope with being poor by saying Americans live to work and they have more vacation time and workers rights like longer paid maternity leave etc.


The fact you are evidently happy with 2-3 weeks AL suggests this is correct no?

I'm sure the wife you probably don't have is happy with the 12 weeks unpaid leave and 4-5 figure bill that came with giving birth

I’d rather have the money and the choice than be taxed regardless of if I wanted vacation time or have a kid.

-Holidays and Bank Holidays

-Acting. They are so good most of the time they cast them to play Americans in tv shows.

-Music- Some of the all time greatest bands and singers are British.

-A bit controversial on here but gun laws tbh. You don't have school/mass shootings over there. That's just a statistical fact.
