No it's not always untrue,it's the same as they brand us as reserved , have you been to a US cinema ? I tell you they are quite loud and verbal compared to ours , we are very similar to them and also quite different.I lived there for a year and believe you did too,did you really see no differences in the cultures?

Of course i saw cultural differences Kazanne, i never said I didn't see cultural differences, what i said was that I think it's unfair to say Americans don't understand irony or sarcasm like Katie Hopkins says, this is the "humour" she refers to

Humour is even very different between Scottish and English people. Different cultures = different humour

Still game, Rab C Nesbit loved by all. Equally Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, Only Fools, Open all Hours.

Tosh. UK humour is understood by all. Just not the new crap.
