2. The biggest mistake that people normally make when thinking about another country where they haven't really visited and talked extensively with many of it's people is considering it to be a monolithic entity, composed of completely homogenous citizens, clones.  From my experience, there is enormous variety in the outlooks, attitudes and practices within the US, and within Britain (again, as in any country I have visited, period).

About the only thing all Brits agree on is that the next time Hugh Grant leaves the country, we lock the door behind him and pretend he's French.

If there's one thing I envy about Americans it's their refusal to take second best in any service.  I once listened to a woman arguing with her bank over a small charge they made for her going into the red and sweet Jesus, you'd think they'd shot her pet dog or something.  But man, did she argue her case until they erased that bank charge.  I almost applauded her as she strutted out.
