      • Double yellows
      • The kerb
      • Colour of the asphalt
      • The masonry
      • The foliage (one of them things you don’t realise you notice)
      • The knobbles so blind people know where to cross the road
      • The four lids

      As an American who has never been to the UK, somehow I agree

      You can see the yellow line at the edge of the carriageway which is pretty distinctive for the UK plus the dimpled tiles on the pavement are pretty much unique to Britain.

        Also having carriageways and calling the paths that people walk on “pavement” are pretty much unique to Britain.

        Australian y’all user checking in. It’s not my fault there’s no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant “yous” has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

        Anyway, thanks y’all, I’m going to keep using it.
