Nick Alexander, who goes by Mr Miami on TikTok, is originally from Florida but moved to the UK to study.
The influencer has racked up nearly 100,000 followers on the video sharing platform, and another 4000 on Instagram for posting about his love of the UK, and noticing the differences between daily life in the West Midlands and the Sunshine State.
In his latest video, which already had more than one million views, he lists his top five reasons life in the UK is better than the US.
An American man who lives in the UK has delighted fans by sharing reasons he prefers living in Wolverhampton to Miami – including Gregg’s Yum Yums and Ribena. Nick Alexander, (pictured) who goes by Mr Miami on TikTok , is originally from Florida but moved to the UK to study.
‘Number one, Yum Yums from Greggs,’ he begins. ‘They are like the best place on earth for early morning snacks. Make sure you have it with a cup of coffee, or hot chocolate or tea,’ he added.
‘American friends, when you get to the UK don’t be afraid to cross the street,’ he continued.
‘You won’t get shot in the back for jay-walking,’ he added, as he filmed himself crossing the road with two policemen in the background.
‘Even if you cross the street without looking, look, I’m doing it just fine. I feel so safe and so secure.’
He goes on: ‘Number three is B&M. I guess it stands for the baby and the mama, because you can get toys for your kids, and then something nice for your baby mamma.’

Next, he discusses how much he loves squash, showing a basket full of Ribena.
‘Let me just say Ribena, it comes in all shapes and sizes and all flavours. I don’t know what the hell a blackcurrant is but it’s nice.
He goes on: ‘The NHS, free healthcare, how can you beat that? Listen my American friends, get over here and get yourselves British citzenship.
‘And for a bonus, I’ll throw in Indian food. You can’t beat Indian food on a Friday night.’

Nick, who will soon be sharing longer videos on YouTube channel, had Brits in hysterics over their videos, with one writing: ‘This makes me want to live in the UK, and I live in the UK’.
‘As a Brit I stand by this statement,’ wrote another.
‘This is basically an advert for England and I love it,’ penned a third.
‘Born in the US and live in the UK and I’m staying. Def better over here, I miss some stuff from the States but the UK has a better vibe,’ added one expat.
Others took to the comments to suggest other things Nick should try, including Sensations crisps, Vimto, Fish and Chips, Irn Bru and Galaxy Chocolate.
Nick also said he loves the NHS and that he can cross the road without getting a ticket for jaywalking – or even getting shot
Nick previously delighted fans by taking a trip to the Nickelodeon Greene King Pub for a Sunday Lunch.
The influencer loved the traditional British roast, which he enjoyed before lockdown restrictions were in place.
‘Sunday dinner was a big thing in America, let’s see what the British eat for Sunday dinner,’ he says
‘I went to a place called Nickelodeon, nothing like the channel. And I had a large carvery.’
Nick filmed the long counter where the food is dished out by staff to stay in line with COVID-19 restrictions.
While looking at the different options, Nick explained that he was concerned the meat wasn’t seasoned.
He also questioned a pictured of the pub’s festive decorations, asking why Brits were celebrating Christmas in September.
To go along with his roast, Nick ordered a Dark Fruits Strongbow while his companion had an appletizer.
The American piled his plate high with a mix of Brussel sprouts, carrots, stuffing, and pigs in blankets which were all covered in gravy.
On top of the gravy, he added mint sauce and cranberry sauce, with some commentators confused over the mix on condiments.
Mr Miami also says that he loves B&M as he can shop for toys for his child as well as getting a present for his baby mamma
However, many loved the video with one person writing: ‘I love you man, you’re so pure.’
‘That’s just Sunday dinner, wait until you see what we do for Christmas,’ said another.
‘My favourite person about being British is our Sunday roasts.’
Others commented that it wasn’t the best place to try a Sunday roast, and he should try a Christmas dinner instead.
Another joked: ‘Just wait until he finds out about the chicken shop.’
The TikTok star has also tried Costa Coffee and other British things to the delight of his fans.
