Straighteners are more powerful
Blow dryers will burn your scalp, but dry your hair in 2 minutes tops
Car keys look strange
The dvds are in a different regions then North Americas
They drive on the wrong side of the road, Canadians drive on the right side (see what I did there)
There is something beautiful to see in every town, village or city. Just depends on where you look.
It's possible that the worst looking store can have the best finds, and forever seem magical afterwards.
You feel like you're in a bit of a fairytale.
When you meet a Baron don't show surprise when he looks like Hugh Hefner.
Don't search for Playboy bunnies out of the corner of your eye.
When the Baroness runs through the house with a lit fag don't flinch or show surprise or react in anyway. (Also, when said Baron leaves household but forgets their ridiculously expensive cane and you wonder if it's hollow and full of drugs, might be best to keep thought in head!!)
When a 14 year old wants to sit and talk for a couple hours, embrace it. It doesn't happen often and you may be shocked at their understanding of the world and how much better they comprehend their bubble then you do.
Don't compare your past with theirs, you will feel like a terrible person.
Their dove moisturizer with tanning solution actually works.
When avoiding a place don't walk past it with your ipod on full blast.
Don't keep dead flowers in a vase. (This one MAY be universal)
When you are looking for tape and ask a salesperson and they respond with "cellotape?" just nod, don't ask why you would need tape for a cellar. (They all assume you're american anyway so no worries)
The shocked/happy face you see when you swear accidently while telling a story is purely based on the fact that they love your accent because it sounds so much more exotic.
Being a tosser is a bad thing, according to important business men, most people fall under that category.
If you think running from the shower in a towel makes you invisible and no one is around, it's all a lie. You will be seen.
Nail polish is the same all over the world. It may say it wont chip but without a gloss overcoat, it will.
UK top 40 is a great way to distract children while babysitting, spontaneous dance parties will never be so fun!
When you offer a 14 year old to join you on any journey during a specific time don't be surprised if his face lights up when you mention a hotel room in London for the evening but doesn't show any expression when you mention a castle in wales.
Fact!
Hope this prepares you if you ever plan a journey to England.

Very informative information. The most useful information for me definitely concerns the hair straightener bit. Definitely.
