1. Ranch dressing doesn't exit here. That's probably good for my waistline.
2. If you own a TV, you must pay a TV license {about 12 GBP a month} on top of your monthly cable bill. Supposedly, this license is for BBC News.
3. Most places have small heaters rather than central heat or air. The 3 that we have are automatic, so they turn on and off just like central heating.
4. Most living rooms are enclosed by a door to contain the heat or air.
5. The tubes are packed, body-to-body, on the weekends. I was practically eating a girl's furry jacket hood the other weekend. Yuck.
6. Don't get closed in the tube door. It hurts. Trust me.
7. Direct debit builds credit, and without UK credit, you're not considered a real human being.
8. After watching a rugby match, I kinda, s.o.r.t.a miss football {OH MY GOODNESS! I said it!}.
9. In England, they think that typing a PIN number after every transaction is safe. In fact, no one signs their receipts because it's all verified with a PIN number.
10. Bagels, microwavable popcorn, chips + salsa + any other delicious Mexican food, and a good slice of pizza are hard to find here {if it's existent at all...}.
11. The UK calendar starts the week on a Monday. which truthfully really irks me. I think it's because when I was an aide in my friend's classroom, she always sang to her kiddos the "Days of the Week" song, so it was drilled into my head that the week starts on a Sunday.
