1) Do you have bus stops?
Yes.
2) Do school buses really stop outside kids homes and wait for them?
Nope.. if you aren't in sight, they won't wait. ;) But they do stop driveway to driveway, unless there is a designated pickup/dropoff point on that particular block.
3) Is football (or soccer) as popular in America as it is in the UK?
I wouldn't know, since I don't live in the UK. But it is very popular. The Superbowl (championship game) is considered a holiday in my house. Even my mother and I who have little interest in football watch the game and celebrate.
4) Do you need a passport to travel to different states?
No. You do not even have to stop at state lines.
5) Do you play cricket?
No.
6) Does everyone have those gigantic refridgerators which have ice dispensers?
Mostly yep. We happen to have 2, and so does someone else I know.
7) Is the weather ever grey, dull and cloudy?
Yes.
6) Do you have pickett fences?
Yes, but they aren't as common as in the movies. =P
7) Do you have a ridiuclous amount of TV channels, most which you never watch?
If you pay for cable.
8) Do you have a "Red Nose Day" ?
No?
9) Do you have Oxfam?
No?
10) Do you have market stalls?
No.
11) Do you have fish&chip shops?
They're novelty. Definitely not common.
12) When does the bin men (garbage men?) come for your rubbish (garbage)? and how often?
Once a week where I live. They pick it up at the end of our driveway Tues morning around 7AM.
13) What's the average house price?
Extremely varied. We have mansions and we have dumps that barely qualify as living quarters. You'd be better off searching on the internet for the prices of the kind of houses you mean, and the location.
14) Does each state has its own distinctive accent? Like, equivalents of Cockneys and Geordies?
Not every single state, but it is easy to tell the northeast from south from midwest. Jersey definitely has an accent to me, and so does New York City.
15) Do you have cornor shops?
No?
