The differences ARE striking, and would create a different viewpoint as to the way things are in the world for most Americans (in particular.) Frankly, IF I ever did retire, I would easily consider England over the traditional retirement areas of the U.S. any day. I greatly enjoyed the lack of excessive (and as in the U.S. typically grossly mistimed) stop n' go lights there :-). The most irritating thing is that the 1-2min delays that those things cause didn't exist as often, and so I didn't get a chance to read the paper in the morning :-). The worst thing that I remember about the time there, wasn't actually a problem when I was there, but when I came back, I had problems driving at times, with some embarassing situations happening.
