An American in England

As an American living in England, I've decided it might be interesting to keep a written record of my experiences, observations and opinions of life here and how it compares to life in the US. Having lived here previously for 2.5 years (Nov 1996-May 1999), I recall how overwhelmed I was at the time at the vast differences in everyday life that you would never expect to see. So much of it I have become used to, but hopefully by sharing some of these experiences and observations, I can enlighten and entertain my fellow Americans (and perhaps a few Brits as well).
