America and Britain have an obesity epidemic. Britain is the fattest European country.

Same language.

All British celebs, and chavs, want to be American, and live in America.

Oh, and Britain lives its life through "Friends" reruns. lmao!

thatcher and reagen years had a big impact, a catalyst for capitalism. now we are both run by the banks (with politicians as their administrators) industry is farmed out to cheap labour third world countries while the rich, in uk and america, play the global casino money markets for their kicks and fortunes. Britain once had an empire which turned into the common wealth which then led to our welfare system being overrun with immigrants..America is like our unruly teenager offspring which grew bigger and uglier while the uk has become the tired pensioner ...but it's all too late to change.
