America is pretty much exactly how most Brit's would see a stereotypical American, and England is probably like wise.
I know the British press are always on about the special relationship being rubbish...and sometimes it does seem like the US just uses us, Iraq coughcough but I don't look at is a government thing, I look at is a normal people thing, even if the special relationship 'ended' People on both sides of the pond wouldn't really mind we'd just carry on like normal.
too agree with Lisacreature, most people in the UK don't give a toss about the 4th of July, in fact, this year people on my road set fireworks off! we aren't taught about the empire much in history, so badly that the other day my friend asked why the Olympics were on, and I had to tell her that it was the commonwealth games, and the we used to have an empire, and the Canada, Australia etc, were still under the queen. Good or bad that we don't know are own history...hmm...
