Pretty interesting thread on an AskReddit where the question was "What does Britain do better than America".




Definitely don't read if you're easily offended by language etc. (and probably don't click any links as who knows what they will be....). But I was sharing because some of the top answers just now were hilarious things like politics and the way Parliament does it's thing! I definitely think it would be amazing to see the US cram their politicians into a room and let them go at it on the issues for an hour or two.

I would definitely say that I think Brits are definitely better at queuing for starters...

Had a quick look, it was pretty funny.  In true Reddit fashion, I ended up watching a you tube video about a senator who thought Guam would literally topple over if more marines were based there :

Must not Reddit at work.

Saw that one...I ended up watching a video of an Australian government official dropping a c-bomb. It was awesome. I know we like to talk about what's better about the US/what we miss, so I thought I'd share this where we give the UK some kudos hah

Speaking of Reddit, I was listening to a podcast called How I built This:

Live Episode! Reddit: Alexis Ohanian & Steve Huffman
http://one.npr.org/i/545635014:547386946


It's an interview with the founders of Reddit.  Towards the end, they talk about how one of them is married to Serena Williams!  Bizarre because he's just a geek guy.

Did he sound to you like someone one of the Williams sisters would want to marry?

To be honest, I barely know anything about the Williams sisters other than that they play tennis! haha They could be super geeky, no idea!

Well I'm not exactly hanging out with them, but I would have thought rapper rather than brogrammer . 

Actually, that's approaching racist level of judging people so I should just shut up .
