The biscuit/cookie debate is one I feel extremely passionate about, but one which has been ignored by our governments, leaders, and dictionary writers for far too long. So here I am, the voice of a generation, bringing it to your attention. FYI, this entire post is going to cause a lot of confusion, akin to whole chips/crisps/fries debacle. But just…

British TV vs. American TV
When it comes to TV, the UK and America have very different takes on what is considered good and what is not. And TV is not the only difference – Christmas, Autumn, driving… you name it. Moving to The States is a huge culture shock for a proud Brit like me. But if I’m honest, it’s the British TV I…
1 CommentOn Megxit – By another Brit who married an American
I’ve had a lot of Americans asking me what I think of Megxit. Honestly, I keep changing my opinion. Initially, I was like TRAITORS. But once I’d calmed down and read something aside from the Daily Mail, I realised at the end of the day, they are adults and can choose what they want to do with their lives. Maybe…
1 CommentChristmas in the UK vs. Christmas in the US

I do like lighting a fire and wearing a warm jumper (sweater) that is essentially a blanket. But you can do all of this in Winter too. And Winter has…
4 CommentsDriving in America vs. Driving in the UK
Driving in America and the UK is massively different. Yes, it is essentially the same. We both use these things called roads and metal boxes with wheels called cars to get from A to B. But I swear, the rest of it is like night and day. Most significantly Americans (are lazy) like the convenience of automatic cars while manual…
3 Comments5 unique British habits America needs to adopt today
America is obsessed with the Britian. (The UK is also obsessed with America but thats a story for another day). They love the Royal Family, the accent, the period dramas (anyone seen the Downton Abbey film yet?!!) The US is so entralled by Great Britain that it has sent Meghan Merkle over to join the monarchy and probably begin opening negotiations…
