...you see
mailboxes with little flags
American robins
yellow school buses
light switch on the lamp, not the cord
washer & dryer that can do a week's worth of clothes in two loads
free drink refills
a proper glass of iced tea
pellet ice
tax not included in original price
cars on the road that are not in good condition
cars on the road that are not in good condition
right turning at a red light
high curbs
billboards
drive thrus
24 hour drug & grocery stores
abandoned grocery carts in the aisle with owners shopping on other rows
abandoned grocery carts in the aisle with owners shopping on other rows
...you hear
artful small talk as part of good customer service
'Bless You' from a stranger when you sneeze
hairdryers operating in the bathroom
a kitchen disposal
Most of these things have an explanation of how it is done differently in the UK
It's interesting to see my home country through a different lens,
for we only return to the US a few weeks each year
Just the other day I couldn't recall the denominations of the US coins
- in four years I've forgotten -
Although I don't feel British,
my worlds have blurred together
