Who do British people feel they have more in common with?

Question

Americans or other Europeans? I think in pop culture it is obviously the Americans, but what about other areas?

Answer 1

I think, even if we wouldn't like to admit it, we are more similar to the Americans

Answer 2

Europeans and if youve ever been to either place you would know this.  

Answer 3

The British people feel vastly superior to every other nation on the planet. Well the English specifically. It's the old Empire thing. We can't help it, it's genetic or something. We'd never stoop so low as to make comparisons.

Answer 4

Canadians and Australians

Answer 5

Probably Americans.

Answer 6

Well obviously many white Americans come from British or Irish stock so like Canada or Australia there is an Anglophile link. America is thousands of miles away, and France is about 20 across the English channel but I feel more at home in America than I do in France. Not that I dislike France.

Answer 7

Music

Answer 8

Americans, because I've got family in America. I don't feel close to Europeans (strangely) b'cos they use a different language.

Answer 9

Thankyou Voda but I do not wish to be compared to anyone particularly Average American.

Answer 10

I think we're actually closer, in terms of personality, to those we tend to see as enemies.  Germans and Argentinians tend to have a similar personality to the Brits.

Answer 11

I personally feel i have more in common with a lot of European friends of mine than any American I've ever met. But like you say, we share a lot in common with America media-wise...  

Answer 12

More in common with the Americans, on grounds of a shared language, culture and legal system.

Answer 13

I would say Europeans, we are part of Europe after all.
