  Numbering Systems and Place Values
Note that the British Numbering System does not match the American system after the millions.
There is a fascinating article in Compton's Living Encyclopedia (AOL keyword: ENCYCLOPEDIA) that compares the American Numbering System with the British Numbering System.
In other words, the British Numbering System is completely different from the American Numbering System after the thousands and millions.

  British honours system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British honours system is a means of rewarding individuals' personal bravery, achievement or service to the United Kingdom.
For example the medal of the Order of the British Empire ceased to be awarded in the UK in 1993, as was the companion level award of the Imperial Service Order (although its medal is still used).
Until the 19th century, all peerages were hereditary and, until the end of the 20th century, all English, British and UK peerages (except, until recent times, those for the time being held by women) carried the right to a seat in the House of Lords.

 An American Teacher's View Of British Assessment Practice
The British education system was in the midst of major reforms in 1988.
In my British school, the consequence of inadequate coverage was the elimination of student choice of topics on the examination, not to mention the deadening effects of endless repetition.
The British assessment and evaluation system is not "the answer." As I have stated, just as students study for the SAT, they would probably cram to boost their scores on any skills-based test that we might devise.

 Logistics and the British Defeat in the Revolutionary War
Minor infractions also had a negative impact on the morale of the fighting force, because the common British infantryman inevitably was aware of the large-scale profiteering of the quartermasters, as well as the fact that officers and their families routinely ate much better than he did.
British commanders believed that large reserves of food, fodder, and other supplies were vital, so the absence of sufficient quantities of those items must be viewed as the greatest failing of the British supply system.
In defense of British generalship, gambling with their armies on extended campaigns with meager provisions and no guarantee of when the next shipment was coming was a large risk indeed.

 System of rule
The British constitution is a mixture of legal provisions, conventions and a recognized acceptance of the constitutional principles (...).
British citizens remained subjects to the Crown and were never given the power of the state.
Another striking feature of the British system is the ability of the Prime Minister to make decisions that are limited neither by a coalition party, a written constitution, a constitutional court, the head of state nor, indeed, Parliament.

 The British Education System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The philosophy and approach to education in British universities is different in some ways from the U.S. system.
British students specialize in a specific subject, rather than study a wide range of subjects, as in the U.S. university system.
In the British system, a greater emphasis is placed on independent study.

 Railroad
Though the rail system was extremely slow at first and prohibitively expensive to build and run, the British were not to be dissuaded in their pursuit of non-animal driven transportation.
For some of the population the British Rail System offered employment opportunities such as: men moving large amounts of dirt for tracks and tunnels; railway stations had to employ people to serve food and maintain the station; manual signalers were required; and people to actually work on the trains.
However, the introduction of the system signaled the coming of the industrial age and many people were intimidated by the thought that the course of their lives was changing forever.

 Australian, British and American Political Systems Compared   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In the American system the head of the executive Government, the President, cannot be removed by the Congress (except by impeachment, which requires a kind of trial).
The chief defect of the US political system is that the terms of office of Congress and President are absolutely fixed, so that the executive government cannot call Congressional opponents to account by dissolving the Congress and (except by impeachment) the Congress cannot call the executive government to account--i.e.
This system also results in a distinction between "safe" and "marginal" seats, which leads parties to concentrate their campaigns on the undecided voters in marginal seats; it also makes the sitting members in safe seats unresponsive to public opinion and intensifies factionalism within parties.

 Publications: British Law System
In the American system, where lawyers are paid a percentage of damages recovered, usually between twenty-five to forty percent, depending on the type of case and the risk involved, the sums recovered are often sufficient to provide a “cushion” for cases which do not succeed.
In comparison with other systems, most notably the system in the United States, it is often said that the British system avoids the excesses of massive jury awards.
Many who criticize the system in Britain say judges are conservative in their approach, and they take into account wider concerns which are sometimes irrelevant, such as the effect large awards may have on insurance premiums, all of which have little to do with compensating the individual concerned.

 Britannia Panorama: British Government
The political party system is an essential element in the working of the British constitution.
The present system depends upon the existence of organized political parties, each of which presents its policies to the electorate for approval.
The effectiveness of the party system in Parliament rests largely on the relationship between the Government and the opposition parties.

 Entering and Accepting the British Political System By Belfast Republican, from The Sovereign Nation, March/April 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
One of the arguments advanced by the Provisionals and their supporters outlining their views in relation to the de commissioning, I prefer to refer to it as a surrender and destruction, of their weapons is to cite the case of the Fianna Fail party of 1932 and the Workers Party of the 1980s.
The acceptance of separate referenda north and south of the British imposed border was the final twist to the partitionist straitjacket into which they had entered and led their followers and it is my contention that the Provisional leadership were fully aware of the political direction in which they were moving.
They were entering the British political system, which is the very antithesis of republicanism, as it is a monarchical system, and were going as far as becoming "Ministers of the Crown".

 The British Monetary System before Decimalization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
I responded by saying, “Don’t forget the British Monetary System before decimalization, which is the classic example of a complex mixed-radix counting system in constant, daily use for hundreds of years.” Naturally, she asked me to explain this monetary system, and when it was decimalized.
Prior to that a pound was 20 shillings, a shilling twelve pence (pennies) and the smallest division of a penny was a farthing.
This is the standard mixed-radix system that was the basis of pre-decimal British currency, which had been in use since approximately 775 AD, and which went out of use, at least officially, in 1971.

 Guardian | The British system isn't working
There was another example of the abuse of prerogative powers when the government announced its decision not to allow British citizens to take complaints of breaches of the UN covenant on civil and political rights to the UN human rights committee.
As for the role of the independent judiciary, it is essential in ensuring that governments do not act lawlessly or use their powers to excess, but the courts are subordinate to an executive-dominated parliament: lions under the throne, and even their independence can be undermined by political interference.
The systemic failings of the British system will not be cured by exhorting parliamentarians to meet the challenge of the democratic deficit, or even by creating a better voting system for parliament.

 Background to British Nationality Law from BritainUSA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A British woman marrying an alien lost her British subject status automatically on marriage, before 1933 whether or not she acquired her husband's citizenship; from that date onwards she lost it only if she acquired the nationality of her husband.
The nationality of minor children was tied to that of their father or widowed mother, and they gained or lost British subject status accordingly.
The United Kingdom legislation, the British Nationality Act 1948, created the status of British subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (BS/CUKC) for all those whose connection was with the United Kingdom itself or with a place which, on 1 January 1949, was still a colony.
