What are the differences between people from the UK and the USA. Accents and how friendly or not some people are. Found it varied from state to state.

What are the differences between people from the UK and the USA

Accents and how friendly or not some people are...

First visited the US in 1974.For a one week course in Kentucky with a German Engineer. Working for the Process Computer

Systems part of GE. That was a taste, so I went back for a 2 month holiday.

Second visit in 1975.Flew from London to JFK and onwards to San Francisco. Went looking for that beach that the

Monkeys played on, only rocks. On a boat trip to Alcatraz round the renowned prison and end up

with sunburn. So chemist for sun lotion and big hat to keep the sun off. Took Greyhound bus

tours to different places. Then moved down to Hollywood it reminded me of Blackpool.

After a couple of tours moved down to Orange County and found a pub with a Country music

band. That put me in the right mood. After chatting to some locals they suggested Lake Tahoe

for nightlife and wildlife.

Came across a school outing from Germany. That reminded me of where I had come from and

what differences I would find here in the US.

Next I visited San Diego and it reminded me of Portsmouth. With a US Sailor flying out in the

horizontal plane from a Bar. Took a tour down to Mexico and back. Their Brown Beer was like

some UK Beers. Food was different and made a good change.

Bus back up to San Fran and another to Lake Tahoe. Stayed in a Casino Hotel and listened to the

Three Degrees over a meal and some beers. Then I went for a walkabout and met some friendly

visitors.

They invited me over for breakfast in their holiday cabin. The woman was cooking breakfast and

opened the back door. That attracted a large Brown Bear making her scream. When it banged its

head above the door. Her husband fired a shotgun in the air and off it went.

Later that day started the horseback trekking holiday for two weeks. Two guides, two guys and

ten young women. So the guides introduced themselves and one went through the safety drill.

Every night put all the food in the sacks and the guides tied them up.

The horses carried us up and down the hills, through the woods and across the rivers. Plenty of

wildlife and some bears looking at us. About the third or second last night one of the girls was

eating cookies and a bear swiped the corner of her tent.

It could have knocked her head off. After a lot of screaming and two small bottles of Brandy

and a bucket of water, and some slaps she stopped.

Two police came out and took her back for a check-up. Her father got the police to check with

everybody and we all had the same story.

Then the Guide showed the police. That we had all signed up for the trek holiday and accepted

the terms and conditions. So one more night in the Casino Hotel with a good band and meal.

Before getting the bus back to the San Fran airport and back through JFK to London.

So no hassles, everybody friendly and only one New York Jewish guy, who spoke like a machine

gun on two of the bus tours. On the way out robbed by a guy on the floor of a yellow taxi in the

Airport Taxi Que.

Lucky for me it was the morning and I found the British Embassy. Who replaced my passport.

And sent somebody with me to the bank to get cash and the replacement cards organised.

Stayed one more night and collected my cards in the morning. Took the bus back to JFK.

Third visit to the US in 1979 working for UNIVAC based in Minnesota lasted 8.5 months.

Shared a flat with another Engineer, who went home at weekends.

Went off site-seeing again on Greyhound Buses. Visited surrounding states and round the Great

Lakes fishing. Found a lot of friendly Scandinavians round the Great Lakes.

Went to Chicago and got on well in the Irish part of town. Chatted about football and rugby.

Having been in the North and South of Ireland youth hostelling and hiking around.

North America: The most European cultural parts: There are more Irish in the Boston, Chicago and New York areas than all of Ireland and the UK:

North America: The most European cultural parts:

The most European with the French in and around Montreal and Quebec.

If you include the Scottish descendants then Canada is the most European.

But remember some southern US states speak French and Creole, New Orleans.

There are more Irish in the Boston, Chicago and New York areas than all of Ireland and the UK.

Both the US and Canadian areas around the Great Lakes are Scandinavian.

Between the two World Wars the vote in the US to make German the first language was 52% against and 48% for it. People who have names ending in mann are of German origin and culture.

From the book the 11 Tribes of the US we have 5 above, so add English, Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish(Latino) and Jewish.

How the British Queen unites the World: An excellent example for other leaders around the World to follow: Never letting the people or Government down:

The British Queen is an excellent example for other leaders around the World to follow. Never letting the people or Government down.

The last night of the Proms shows how the Queen unites the World with lots of flag waving and singing by people from Europe and around the World.

More Europeans applied to stay in the UK. About four times more than the British in Europe.

I would always raise a glass to toast the Queen. God bless her.
