There are a huge number of differences other than Colour, LOL i have never learned to handle cars, perhaps because almost everyone here drives vehicles with a manual gear control as well as the often heavy traffic in our cities and on main roads.   As for me anyway, I like cats, and most other animals as well. |

When you wake up and suddenly realize you fell asleep fully dressed. I felt like Marty McFly from Back to the Future, it was awesome....until I remembered it was Friday morning and I had to go to work....and that when I got there I had to write my six monthly review.  |

I read somewhere once that we drive on the left because that's how knights jousted. The majority of people were right-handed and it made sense to go left to right as most people held the stick things with their right hands. This carried on to horses and then cars.
I think the majority of places that were in the British Empire or had something to do with it drive or drove on the left. India, Australia, many countries in Africa. Japan for some reason.
Regarding spelling, the American way is becoming accepted here. A few years ago, you would have failed an English exam for putting a z in words like realize, hospitalize, analyze, etcetera, but now, you'd be fine. I put a z in those words because s makes no sense. Z is now an accepted alternative. And it looks cooler. But you'd still fail the exam for taking the u out of words.

Forget the differences with spelling and driving, I'm most interested in why American toilets 1) generally have lower seats then British toilets and 2) have way more water in them |

^ You know, I've been to America three times and I've never noticed that.
And that's after sleeping in a bathroom for five days in New York...

I can't believe I'm spending my evening commenting on the functionality of American toilets, I had such high hopes for my life when I was growing up! |
