I’m going to be exceptional, since I’ve spent much time in the UK and have an english/scots girlfriend. I know how diverse it is, though I’ve not spent time in the midlands, only Scotland and London. I am fascinated by several things – the 3rd world crossroads aspect of Shepards Bush, the incredible consciousness of class and background – less money than accent education and behavior. To an american, it looks very micro since we’re so big, having accent differences btw 40 miles from one place to another is something we don’t do. We’ve been so mobile for so long that differences only exist on a vast scale – and of course we don’t have class differences…. I’m also aware of just how expensive life in the UK is compared to the US, most of us don’t know how easy/comfortable we have it. Except when it comes to medicine. Also, there’s a feeling there that life is like it was in the US a few decades ago – in good ways, too. More of a sense of society, more of a sense of people not being so splintered into individuals by mobility, technology, and self-interest.
