Well I'll try and be as honest as possible, something that will be alien to you seeing how you're from Liverpool.
No idea what a "stone" is, but I'm 220# and 5' 10" so I am definitely in need of a work out, no sweating though, we have something called air conditioning here, another alien concept to the UK. My neighborhood is completely silent, no barking dogs, no gunshots, no neighbor noise - nothing. I have open desert to the rear of me for roughly 12 miles until you hit the base of the Sierra Estrella mountain range.
You will however be relieved to hear that I do have a sizeable firearms collection, with which I have more fun than a Brit in a Heineken factory.
On the table in front of you will be two half eaten pizza's and one mega burger. You'll be saving that for later when you're hungry again. You'll have a down stairs loo because you get out of breath when you take the stairs and in your front garden will be the good old stars and stripes flag. . .
Ok, you struck lucky with the food, we had fried chicken and salad for dinner last night, and there's left overs for tonight, so yes, got me there. No downstairs though, we live in a single level - more space over here buddy, not like those boxes you laughingly call houses. No flag of any kind outside the house, and a pool outside the back complete with palm trees - got any of those in Aigburth?
And by the way, anyone can bring up a map, select a few places and then google each one to get a description of it so that you can pretend you've been there!
I already pointed that out, it's impossible to prove I was there, but I was, and for several years.
I know you haven't visited Liverpool! "Why?" Because the town centre has a weight limit, especially around the Albert Dock. If you fell in the Mersey Formby and Crosby would be washed away!!!
I see that your weight fetish is never that far away, pretty disappointing, and Formby and Crosby should be washed away, although I do remember playing golf in Formby once.
Something else occurs to me, another cultural difference. An American will always try to insult your education, but not Brits. So it occurs to me that you don't have a degree, probably never did any college either.
If true, you wouldn't even get a job selling fries over here, you would truly be a second class citizen, but it does fit with your love of football. Tell me I'm wrong.
