A Difference In Cultures

Robbie · 2004-04-22T14:33:10-04:00

I suppose with all the contrasting yet rich and interesting cultures that have been fleetingly mentioned on this board this topic was a natural progression. It is basically regarding what your country's culture involves and how that may be different to others below is a little about mine(I'm British for those who don't already know) 1. Over here the average working week in Monday - Friday 9-5 although of course many people work outside these hours. 2. We have two main types of education primary (aged 5-11) and secondary(aged 11-16 or 18) 3. Football(soccer) is the most popular sport by a long way 4. Soaps such as Eastenders and Coronation street are the most popular TV programmes watched by an average of 14million per show and some are on five days a week. 5. The two main political parties for the UK are Conservative and Labour(currently in government) although Northern Ireland has different parties. I know not the most interesting information but hopefully this gets you all started, I think this could be a fun and educational :D topic. :agent:

Stumpy,

Yes, there is hope for us who share the same staid, traditional values.
