There are many similarities between the British and the North Americans, namely the United States and Canada. However there are some minor differences, which is not life-threatening.

You think that the Americans are driving on the Right side? What the policeman sees is you are on the Left (wrong) side of the road from his view point. Anyway Agarwal motion is America and Europe, not British. The Europeans drive on the right lanes of a dual carriage way. Who is 'right' and 'wrong' there is no Right or Wrongs to do it, just as some people are left-handed and most of us are right-handed. However, the correct way to describe the right side should be Starboard, and left is Portside. Traditionally ships always dock by its portside, where the gangways and cranes are located. So as in a car, the passenger always alight at the portside, and that is where the British was right.

The British says the Americans a damned lazy in their spellings, like the word colour is spelt as color, and gauge became gage. The Americans say 'flash light' the British say 'torch light'.  The American culture is more of a melting pot of various cultures from Europe, Asia,  Arabia and Africa, whereas the British has the former Commonwealth States people residing there. They are more conservative in their culture, thinking and way of life.

 The British are very resistant to change, while the counterpart accepts change much easily.

Replying to [Madhur_Agarwal]:if you say cutural difference between Uk and America.. well their is a vast dfference.the americans are usually impulsive but the british are mostly practical and thinking people. americans are jolly and fun loving people,not that the british are not but they are more concerned of how would people look at them ..britons may sometimes make you feel that you are the best but it is only a show to make you feel good and not from the heart.. the americans don't show this type of false feeling , even when it is needed to heal wounds..

Replying to [Madhur_Agarwal]: The Cultural differences between the British and Americans are easy to sum up. We British have it and the Americans do not[em10] You can also include History, Class and Taste for similar treatment.
