The Welcome is probably the most unfreindly I have ever encountered (Talking arriving at an Airport) with paranoia on the tip of every gun.

And Guns? Whats that all about you have a police force now (Armed to the Teeth because everyone else is)

Cannot speak for Churches you must of inherited our need to build one on any spare patch of ground. In the olden days it was Protestant/Catholic Churches now its Mosks and new Age christianity (Normally in a pub they have taken over)

Friendly (except in the Airport, Go figure you would think you would try your best at the point of entry).

New tech mingled with Old. My best example would be the Heath Robinson approach to the Self service checkouts I have encountered. Seem to be cobbled together (Will not apply everywhere as per this example but that old mixed with new I think is pretty common).

Checks - Who still uses them?

Big cars... Oh wait they are small now... Hell I am confused.

Free medical care - I mentioned once I thought it was a good idea, lucky to get out alive nearly strung up by a dozen travelling salesmen.

Service - Nuff said.

Pharmacies - Do you really need that many?

4 way stop sign - Come on that was just invented by Insurance companies to get more claims

Traffic cops performing the job of a roundabout (Now thats how we help with the jobless totals).


In all honesty my experince is they are Helpful, Open and Friendly and that stereotype has been born out from Atlanta to New York. Of course having a foreign accent seems to help with any rudeness.
