Everyone thinks England and America are the same, as we have the same language, but I felt like an alien as an English person living in America.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.
England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.
I love English, though I now call it 'Anglo- American' because we no longer speak British English due to globalization and America's economic power.
Only when I came to America did I think of myself as British.
England as a culture has endured so much more than America has as a culture, so it's given them a different perspective.
The biggest difference between England and America is that England has history, while America has geography.
I feel as much British as I do American. There's not much difference between our countries.
I've grown up surrounded by Americans and to a very large extent feel American. It sounds strange because I seem to be so quintessentially English in everyone's mind - and perhaps I am. Perhaps it's quintessentially English to have a fascination with America.
Everyone in America thinks I'm American - and everyone in England seems to think I'm American.
