Things I’ve heard…
“When an American starts a job, they work as hard as they can to try and prove themselves. When a Brit starts a new job, he goes around trying to make as many friends as possible.”
“In New York, you’re judged based on how hard you work. In London, if you’re at the office every night until midnight, we assume you aren’t clever enough to manage your time well.”
“The English seem really low, but they’re actually a pretty content bunch. Whereas Americans seem super happy on the outside, then you get to know them and they aren’t.”
“In the US, everyone loves a rags to riches story that goes something like ‘grew up poor, triumphed over the odds and ended up rich’. In the UK, you can never escape your class and rags to riches is seen as someone in denial of who they are. Take the Beckhams for instance.”
