Special Relationship

The Special Relationship is a term to describe the alleged affection between the United Kingdom and the United States of America. It is commonly used in political situations where the UK and USA seem to be friendly. From the outside, social and cultural things could not look more similar but for citizens of these countries, they could not feel more different.

UK's views on the USA

 * The average British child will grow up adoring American culture whether that is because of the films or the food. They will have an obsession about deciding to tour America and see the Statue of Liberty when they grow up.
 * Because of the constant mass shootings reported, some Brits may be reluctant to go to America on holiday.
 * Brits will ask America why they need guns so badly.
 * Brits will tell Americans to stop boasting about their freedom.
 * Brits will assume racism isn't as bad here as it is in the USA.
 * More Brits will agree that the American version of The Office is better than the British version than Americans agreeing that the British version is better.
 * Brits will wonder why everyone on American TV shows look so pretty.

USA's views on the UK

 * Many Americans think the UK is only England and some will eventually learn the UK is made up of different countries but not know what the differences are.
 * Americans have a weird fascination with The Royal Family.
 * Americans will reply to a Brit's snarky comment about the second amendment by bringing up the number of stabbings in London.
 * Americans will love a British accent, but more specifically an RP accent.
 * Americans will then mock the British accent by generalising its pronunciations of "Tuesday" and "schedule".
 * Americans will ask why the British spell words wrongly.
 * Some Americans will be so obsessed with their ancestry they will feel a connection to Britain.

Both countries will assume they hate each other but when decent citizens of each country meet, they will be very nice to each other.
