They are pretty different lol. Trust me on that. The closest thing you guys have to our Wegmans is M&S, and that is pretty different, too. We usually have more stuff to pick from than you do, your supermarkets are smaller on the whole, except the Tesco Extras. I liked the British selection better than what we have here.
Back in the 90s, I remember British supermarkets being larger with more of a prepared food section.
Some of the colorful look like kinda cool. Seeing lots of them at once is a bit much but I don't hate them. The ones that face some courtyard or other green space look a bit better.
Some of them have potential, while other look only cheap. Nothing wrong with colour either, but the area has no harmony. The buildings in the last 3-4 pictures look better to me.
And I hate those cubicle style asymmetric balconies.

They do look like bland boxes, other than the color to get it some flair. What would you consider nice apartment blocks?
Lol, I'll bet there weren't many Spanish speakers in Florida then, but I guess I'm not being very PC in saying that. My boss is a native of Puerto Rico, and he never utters a word in Spanish. It is rude to speak a foreign language in the company of people that don't understand it. Spanish speakers at my work place haven't seemed to figure that one out yet.
Don't think i'd tolerate that too long before going to report them. Again they are coming to this country so should respect the traditions and laws here.
While UK lets tons in I don't think the whole language thing would go down well.

There's no law against speaking Spanish. As for tradition, parts of Florida is so new you could say Spanish is as traditional as English.
And I don't see very many Spanish speaking signs here.. All the road signs are English.. Shopping signs.. I'm sorry but I just don't agree with people immigrating to a country and not assimilating and respecting their culture. I wouldn't even think about immigrating and doing that!!!
First, you're also putting your cultural standards in a foreign country. Though some Americans think like you do plenty don't care.
Yes, but there's no official language. Sure, it's rude to speak another language in the company of non-speakers. But amongst themselves, people are going to speak their native language. Some native-English speaking Americans have grandparents whose native language isn't English, the idea of not having English as your native language isn't that alien. And in just about everywhere in the US, being able to speak English well puts you at an economic advantage, most immigrants try to learn. An exception is Miami, where being able to speak Spanish is just as useful.
