See with us Brits, both armed and extremely dangerous and incredibly polite weād say ā¦
āYou go firstā ā¦
āNo, really youāre alright mate, you go first. No hurry. Take your timeā.
I think us Brits are world famous for waiting patiently, espcially in queues.

Itās drives me mad ā¦ we might queue but when we get home the first thing we do is moan on and on about the queues weāve got stuck in. Thatās after moaning about the weather, of course. Weāre good at that too.
Do Americans moan much? Brits are terrible!

Here they sold turtles , parakeets and fish .
" F.W. Woolworth Company. The old days when they sold cute baby turtles in their pet departments"
The tiny green turtles, young āRed-Eared Slidersā with pretty markings, didnāt often live very long, no matter how careful you were caring for themā¦ which Iām afraid was the fate of most of the turtles that kids carried home from Woolworthāsā¦
While Woolworthās pet departments survived until the entire chain closed in 1997, little green turtles ceased being part of the stock in 1975 when the Food and Drug Administration banned pet stores from selling turtles smaller than four inches in length because children picked up salmonella from playing with their pets and failing to wash their hands.āā

I enjoy doing imitations and while back on my friends food truck I was doing my British accent and a few American men said they loved the UK and was I living in Miami .
I told them I loved the States and felt right at home because in the States just like the UK women have more tattoos then men .
We blokes had a laugh
However I can not pull off my British , Australian , Italian accent ( even though I speak Italian ) with the real McCoyās as they know right away .

It just goes to show that you donāt have to be all gung ho and tooled up like our friends from over the pond! 
Once again I must stress that particular bus stop was WAY before my time.

OMG how could you do that!
Though to be fair Iāve done the same mixing up Americans and Canadians.
And New Zealanders can sound a lot like Australians.
And Russians can sound like Martians.

Lol who hasnāt ?
I miss the Canadians as there used to be so many Canadian tourists but now as rare as the Tasmanian tiger .
Europeans still coming for cruises but huge decline so it is my UK " accent " I now practice and get lingo from this site .

Oh, half of us moan about things regularly, personalities reflect this. But generally I gravitate towards pals who find positives despite minor annoyances. Much more fun! Instigate a bit of mischievous experiences and you find a smile often at the end of the day
