When traveling around London by bus and flying to Scotland via plane I noticed that the renound perfect queing of the British is no more. Instead of lining up in very neat strait rows they coagulate into a dynamic clump of people trying to push and wiggle to the front. Intrestingly, at the international conference of academics in Perth, Scotland that I looked in on several times with my parents the straight and polite lines existed. Why do you think there is this difference? (Reply in the comments section.)
Some Comparitive Comments on Architecture in London, England & Perth, Scotland
I have notice that Scotish architecture, houses and commercial, uses mostly stone unlike London that uses mostly brick with little pieces of wood here and there. In Perth, Scotland the buildings in stone gives them a very sturdy heavy look to it. I am told this material is common thorough out Scotland. Also, like in London there is a lot of green growth on the buildings, walls etc. With all the rain that has been falling over the past month since my arrival, I am not surprised.
Comparison of Ads in London, Perth and Western Noth America
Ads on TV, buses, airports, wall posters and internet ads are almost the same in Scotland as in London, Canada and USA. Although I didn't see as much home renovations ads here as in London. Although in Scotland (BBC-Scotland) I did see the second Green ad so far on my trip.
