American living in UK shares how we live differently

An American expat living in the UK has taken to TikTok to share things he wishes he'd known about British culture before moving. Kobie, who boasts over 21.5 million likes across his various videos, kicked off his list by noting policing is very different.

He said: "Cops do not patrol the same way they do in the US. They're always sitting at different points or have speed cameras, here I have not seen one cop stop someone for speeding."

He also shared how you have to dress. He said: "If you're going out in public somewhere in central (London) you cannot bum it.

"Here in the UK everyone has a little bit of a sense of style. I remember when I first got here I put on some slides and my pyjama bottoms and people looked at me like I'm crazy."

Next, he observed that Brits seemed to 'slowly start changing their accent' due to the 'so many different accents around the UK', making their ears 'so susceptible' to various accents. Finally, he began to address another cultural shock he experienced in the UK as an American.

American, Kobie stated: "Being someone who is pretty tall, do not expect to have big cars here. Most of the cars are compact or just normal sized cars. There are no F1 150s."

"There's no lifted cars, no lifted trucks. It's because everything is so small."

In response to Kobie's TikTok video, one viewer remarked: "The first person I've seen analyse the UK so perfectly all the time."

Another said: "PJs in central is brave."
