Heard this the other day on the radio from someone trying to explain the difference in outlook.......

Your neighbour arrives home with a very expensive brand new car (e.g. FFRR)

US - You admire the fact he has worked hard to be able to buy it and wonder how hard you have to work to afford something similar.

UK - You're envious, hate him because he has more money than you, and think about setting it on fire. 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Makes me proud to be british

But have to agree

I'd be thinking, wow, there's a guy that has spent a small fortune, on a new car... it's a bit like my old car, only a huge amount of outlay, theft/damage risk, dealer only servicing, and huge VED tax bill.

Or am I just thinking I'm becoming Scottish?

At the moment quite a few of us are thinking of becoming Scottish!! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
