Laurence Brown of Lost in the Pond explains the difference between road trips in the US and road trips in the UK. I didn't even know people took road trips in the UK, but if you call the grand adventure of traveling 100 miles to visit someone a road trip, well, there you go. In America, we are liable to travel that far for lunch. My daughters now each live 450 miles from me, and not in the same direction, so I am used to spending 6 to 7 hours on the road by myself just to see one of them. They also travel to each other's homes, which is a much longer trip. When I was younger, I thought nothing of driving 12 hours to the east coast, or 18 to Florida. There's a one-minute skippable ad at 1:45.

5 Ways British and American Road Trips Are Very Different

Again I mention .... this chap is not a prime example of what a British born person is like.
I am British born, yet I speak without that nasal twang, that hint of android issues, also I am better looking, not 'wow, look at him' good looking, but I have a face that reflects how friendly and intelligent I am, and I am quite friendly and relatively intelligent.
Also my dress sense is fully developed and hence, overall I present as a far better example of a mature British male.
It just irks me that someone popping up on people's screens will leave an indelible impression that is askew.
Lol.
Brown seems to be a pleasent fellow, however.
Brown is an American citizen. American citizens, whether native born or not, do not look alike. I'd bet the Brits don't look alike either.
I'm with you Miss C, a year ago, Flagstaff to Philly alone, 2250 miles in 2 long days. Thankful it was kilometers because that would be 3600.
