British Culture: What things can you do in the UK that you cannot in the USA?

Free universal healthcare

Wander pretty much anywhere and everywhere - there are no trespass laws in Scotland (albeit there are certain specific exceptions)

Own a lesser spotted haggis - good luck catching one though.

99% of people go through life never seeing a firearm.

Much less chance of being shot by either the Police, legal gun holders or criminals

Much less chance of going to jail, so long as you don’t take the piss

Enjoy a good game of football (Soccer) - Celtic v Rangers is my favourite.

Access to decent tv, the BBC whilst not perfect is as independent a broadcaster you’ll find.

Enjoy some of the best drinking water around (In the Highlands of Scotland)

Enjoy some of the cleanest air around (ditto)

Swim in some of the clearest water on the planet (ditto albeit bloody freezingly cold)

You can enjoy football’s world cup knowing that your home nation - Scotland hasn’t qualified and hence cannot embarrass you against teams like Lapland.

Get married at 16. (In Scotland)

Drink at 18.

Vote at 16 (In Scotland)

Wear a kilt and look bloody awesome to all the lovely ladies ;-)
