It's almost as if you didn't know that the British make cars. Like the best cars on this planet
Brits don't even have much of an auto industry anymore.....but their brands are pretty good for the most part.
The best automotive-related British export was the three knuckleheads from Top Gear....soon on Amazon Prime. Can't believe BBC let them go after so many viewers.

Two Brits I've known online on another forum for about 16 years now are also two of the funniest people I've ever known. Absolute fricking riots. They cuss so much better and in many more varied and colorful ways than we do. And they are utterly unafraid to be blasphemous in the extreme.

America stole all of it's tv from them and most of our pop and dress styles come from Europe.

I think that they think about us as much as we think about them. Which is to say, hardly ever.

British humor is so dry and hilarious.

My wife is from The Midlands. They think we are idiots. And they are correct. Millenials don't even know the most basic American history and stare at their smartphone all day.

Well, frick em. If their dialect is so great why can't they sing a damn song in their dialect? Because it does not translate to song. It always changes to American dialect when they sing because their dialect is dumb. Yeah...real dumb!

British millenials make American millenials look tame.

I'm sure Brits between 16 and 25 are exactly the same

Maybe. We still have loads of awesome original programming.

Ha, no. Absolutely not. The other way around.
I wonder how Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters would react to that statement. Most of modern pop music has its roots in the United States; hip hop, rock 'n roll, blues, jazz, country, and folk are very much American creations.
