Simple answer is THEY DON'T, I don't know about the USA but in England we have problems with sizes of clothes, sometimes a size 18 is more like a 12 or a size 16 more like a 10!

I agree with the earlier answers.   However, if you wish to know more then click on the link below.   I actually live in Plymouth, Devon, which is where the Pilgrim Fathers left the UK for America.   Interesting stuff but very commercialised these days (as are most American celebrations).

I found that there is a new VH1 and it is called VH1 Europe but it is not allowed in the US, Why.\nI found that there is a  VH1-classic and it is 1000xbetter than the one you watch in the US, Why!\nSo, VH1 top 100 covers and samples are found at their HQ over in NY, or go to England.

It's a bit more complex than that, but the term you are looking for is "dioecious". See source list for more detail.\nThe holly is perhaps the most familiar in Britain. The second source on the list gives more such plants, but it's a USA list, unfortunately.

I think they are both very influential in their own way. But I would say Elvis. Elvis shaped in a big part and brought back Rock and Roll. His lyrics, actions, and image were very revolutionary for the moment, he drove women mad. The Beatles, while most likely the most known band in history were not so revolutionary. They were very new and hip to US when they came over because the states didn't have the mod vs biker type scene that Britain had in that period. But all of their big accomplishments in the industry were a direct result of influences. They were influenced by the London scene, its very similar to what the Yardbirds sang, they just had more of a following. They then evolved into a more psychedelic sound, then into more introspective lyrics courtesy of Bob Dylan who was without a doubt the most revolutionary icon of the era. I think since they didn't necessarily come up with the concepts, but followed them they cannot be as influential. Elvis's concepts were all his own. Its just a matter of most people knowing the facts.

No active US base anywhere in the world, other than testing facilities "classifies" what type of aircraft operate there...\n\nB-52's fly missions to Iraq and Afganistan out of Diego Garcia.  B-2's do stop-overs there as well.  The airstrip is huge, one of the world's longest.\n\nThere is a British "embassy" on the island as it is a protectorate of the British Empire.\n\nThere are also military supplies (ammunition, etc.) stored here in case they are needed in some remote spot

Yes, you are right.  I grew up on England and now live in America (well, North America anyway)  Takeaway is definately English, Takeout is American (although I've heard it recently on some English TV shows, so perhaps it is spreading over there)

presumably because everything is bigger in America....

After seeing the brand-new first photos of the giant squid alive in its habitat, I agree with you that there are resemblances...\n\nWell, both fly...\nI mean one flies under water, \nwhich I guess technically would be swimming.\n\nDid you know they're jet powered, squid that is,\nthey take in water at the front and expel water \nbehind for propulsion just like jet planes work in air. \nEagles take in air through their skin and feathers,\nbut they don't expel it for propulsion,bad choice there.\n\nAnd they both have feathers, except the squid doesn't.\n\nThey DO both have BEAKS!\nNow that can't be overlooked.\n\nAnd they both have tentacles, but the eagle's tentacles have bones in them are are called "legs".\n\nHmmm... I could go on, but I put it to you that \nNOONE has ever seen a Giant Squid and a Bald Eagle\nin the same place. One lives deep in the ocean and one in the sky. Perhaps the Bald Eagle, proud symbol of America, has had a secret identity all this time?\n\nWell, with the new squid photos I think the jig is up.

Dragonflies are of the order Odonata.  Meganeuropsis americara (United States of America) of which the opened wing length is 70cm, and Meganeura monyi (France) of which the opened wing length is 75cm, famous as the greatest insect which ever appeared on the earth, are contained in this Order.

Hey McFly! Have you ever thought about calling information, and getting the phone number for the police department there? Geez, and people wonder why America is falling behind other "civilized" nations...

Hmm, there really isn't a difference between being British and English, in fact anyone who's English is actually both. Saying that you are English implies that you live in England whereas saying that you're British could mean that you're English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish (though I doubt anyone from Scotland or Wales would use British over Scottish or Welsh). \n\nPaki is actually a somewhat offensive term used in England to describe people from Pakistan and can be compared to the word 'N ig g e r' used in the USA (though it is nowhere near as bad and doesn't have the history behind it either). \n\nGeezer is slang for describing anyone really (usually a man though) and is used quite alot where I'm from (Manchester).\nPoof is used in place of Gay, and can be a little offensive but its not really that bad, simialr to saying 'he's a fruit' in the USA.\n\nAs for some other slang words, Muppet is used down south alot and roughly means idiot, Pillock is similar but more ofensive, Wanker is quite rude (i'm pretty sure you don't need me to explain that one), Chav/Scally describes young people who wear hoodies and cause alot of trouble, Random is a word used in Birmingham and the midlands and means nothing at all, they just throw it into any sentance, Tosser is again a rude word similar to wanker, Boff is pretty much the same as Geek, Manc (pronounced mank) is short for Mancunian i.e. people from manchester and slag/slapper is the same as 's l u t' in USA. Sorry that most of those were insults but we English like to make as many varied insults as possible :-). \n\nBy the way, If the film you watched was trainspotting or snatch then I think you'll need a slang dictionary to understand all the coloquial terms in them.
