American Tourist's Facebook Post About England Has Gone Viral And It's Brilliant
An American tourist's Facebook post about the cultural differences between England and America has gone viral and it'll make you proud to be English.
Scott Waters, a 66-year-old from St Augustine, Florida, was visiting England for the fourth time when he decided to list all the differences he encountered during his time over here. The brilliant post has since been liked over 90,000 times.
Granted, it's a bit long-winded, but bear with it, it's worth the read. From every pub having a pet drunk to our tea being f*cking delicious, he's got the country absolutely spot on. Maybe apart from the trains bit - that's bullsh*t.

Meh...you could do the same thing with New York...fuggedaboutit. Lol.
Some things I question: Londoners smoke like chimneys. French beer is good. Mutual drink buyers are alcoholics. Pressed coffee in the drawing room of the Draycott Hotel on a summer morning, open windows bringing in the warm garden scents, is delicious.
But it's fun.

most is confirmed by Aussies that have visited both US and UK
the no refrigerator thing we just put down the fact the UK is basically a fridge same with a lot of the British stuff in the list just come from living somewhere too cold for sensible habitation.
we steal the best bits so we have great tea (England plus China)and great coffee, drinking habits are more in line with the UK (we probably serve it at same temp... Icy cold ... a.k.a English summer)
All our stuff is really new 1790's is the oldest you'll ever see.
and it is the AMERICANS that eat with their fork upside down
