Thread Name: BS: British/American cultural differences.
Subject: RE: BS: British/American cultural differences.
I've got a more general cultural difference question to ask. I recently had the occasion to deal with both US and UK press.
When we objected to something, the US types basically said, "Tough. We can do this so we will". And then did. The UK types tut-tutted and said something like, "Oh good heavens, of course we won't do anything of the sort." And then they did.
Is this a cultural difference? Or is it just the particular people we happened to deal with?
Blessings,
Barbara
