What Things Can You Do In The UK That You Cannot In The USA? by ItuExchange(m): 10:26pm On Oct 24, 2016
British Culture: What things can you do in the UK that you cannot in the USA?

Eat real haggis. The stuff they sell in the USA isn't real.

Drive on the left.

Hop on an open platform of a bus.

Buy and set off your own fireworks including skyrockets, pretty much any time or place.

Drink at 18. If the British tried to raise the drinking age to 21 the streets would be awash in the blood of dead politicians.

Get health care free at the source without ever worrying about whether you can pay the bill.

Watch TV without commercials.

Be graceful and courteous without someone assuming that means you're a wimp.

Listen to incredibly erudite and detailed discussions about gardening on the radio.

Find a builder who knows how to install and repair lath and plaster walls.

Live in a house that was there before Columbus reached the New World.

Marry someone of a different race without anybody finding it odd.

Be black without fearing that the police will shoot you.

Use rhyming slang.

Use the word wee non-ironically.

Get whammed at the company Christmas party without your colleagues thinking any the less of you.

Visit buildings constructed by the Romans.

Sleep in a real castle.
