An American in England (facebook post gone viral)

Very good. Thanks for posting it!

Sounds a bit like Bill Bryson

There are no guns.....

"ifIf you are over 60 you get free tv and bus and rail passes" he got that wrong then!

I like the rest of it though

I think he sounds a nice bloke who probably likes to enjoy himself and mixes well with strangers.

I agree with him, the UK isn't such a bad place.

And there are no guns! This seems to have made a big impression!

Yes, I enjoyed reading this, though like Nonnie I noticed the error about bus passes. I'll have to wait till I'm 66 to get mine.

My American SiL loves this one and agrees with it all (It's why he's still here after 20 odd years!)

I read it the other week, but loved reading it again. He's right about so many things and most of the list is about something positive. Having been to the USA, if I tried to produce a similar list of positive things, it would be quite a bit shorter. We really do live in the best country in the world.
