Sorry I am posting so much in one day, but I don't have anyone to talk to. Plus I am not sure how many people read this. But on the tube everyone either reads a book, listens to their ipod, reads the paper etc. No one talks, no one looks up, few even smile. Everyone is in a hurry. But I am convinced that is probably due more to the big city than English people in general.
But I do notice they seem really really interested in US. They spent like 15 minutes on their evening news talking about our presidential election. I gather that 99% of the people I know don't even know who the Prime Minister of England is. (No it is not Tony Blair). Plus the PM over here, Gordon Brown, came up with some kind of scheme to give British people some kind of tax refund, like we got, and guess what most of the people over here say "it's a bribe". People in America say, I didn't even pay taxes but I want some. Interesting difference.
