Are people from the US and Britain really that different?

It is said that British people, compared to American people, are more indifferent, not looking into people's eyes and delving into people's private things – I want to know whether it is true or not..   Jen, Beijing

While there are a lot of similarities between British and American culture, could one key difference be in the personality of the people themselves?

British people are often thought of as reserved and conservative, and Americans as a bit louder and more open. But how much truth is there behind this view?

In this Ask About Britain programme, Finn Aberdein and Jean Dong explore this interesting topic with the help of Americans in the UK and a British woman who lived in the US.
