What's the Difference
- Driving on the other side of the road is uncomfortable
- You buy petrol in gallons
- the road signs are in miles
- all of the money notes are the same colour - you have to get them out of your wallet to count them
- they still have 1 cent coins - ridiculous
- the light and power swithes go up for "on" and down for "off"
- beer cans are only 12 oz
- beer cartons only hold 18 cans - of 'Lone Star' beer
- water goes down the plug hole the other way
- the toilet bowls are just wrong
- you get paid twice a month - 24 times a year
- Most people at our project start work at 8.00am ish and don't leave till after 7.00pm - so I'm told
- There's no Cheds
- tipping
- a bottle of oj last for at least a week - probably due to a lack of Daniel rather than anything in Texas
