What life like for an american living in england?

Question

i know most people dont have the best opinion of americans :]

honest answers are much appreciated!

Answer 1

What life like in stone age. I hope you speak better than you type.

Answer 2

They may speak (mostly) the same language, but it is a different culture.  You do have to become used to things like driving on the left, a lot of different words, going to pubs, a more rigid social structure, being a foreigner, being the one who has the accent, non-US centric news, different foods, smaller homes, etc.  

Still, it's worth trying out, if for no other reason than to experience it.

Answer 3

DO NOT do it trust me  

Answer 4

I'm a Scot in London , I worried too.   It's a cool place.  There's loads of cultures so you wont stand out lol

Answer 5

As far as I am concerned an American, apart from a few quirks in spelling words, accent and a propensity to be very "open" with people, is just another person. All of my friends would think the same way.

The problem is that The British, tend not to like G Bush and perhaps tend to let that dislike overflow to ordinary Americans. If you come here then welcome, come and join us and have a great time in GB. If you know David Soul, of Starskey and Hutch fame, he is American but has become a naturalised Englishman.

Answer 6

It's expensive and the people are generally drunk or high on drugs 99% of the time.

If you're white, male and straight anything you say can be construed as racist or anti-establishment. Freedom of speech went out of the window 10 years ago.

Answer 7

People will like you if your a nice person. However as a person who speaks a different accent, people will take the p**s out of you abit. But that is to be expected. Drinking is what alot of people do at the weekend in britain, but we drink to excess- its ridicolous. Try to stay of the ecstasy tablets, all my mates are into that.

Answer 8

It depends where you will move in England...for instance London is very "multicultural",but each community stick with their own,so not much integration as they make the world believe.

London:gang culture, stabbings,lots of drunk people in the night,clash of cultures,highly populated,dirty,not very friendly.....

Before you move here,I advice you to do some research.

Good luck to you.

Answer 9

probibly weird im english and i find england strange sometimes

Answer 10

Figuring out what he wants when he orders a donut....

Answer 11

It doesn't make any difference, you know that right? But although, Americans and people in england are mostly the same because of our good fluent talking right?

Answer 12

It's pretty laid back....easy going.

The cops are actually a lot less aggressive than they are in America.
