When I was visiting England I remember my grandpa and I walking around London looking for a trash can and being shocked at how rare they were compared to the US

One reason that the UK has few trash cans is because of the IRA, a terrorist organization that would plant bombs in them. It is kind of a sore point when Americans notice stuff like this, because US citizens were significant donors to the IRA.
N.B. There isn’t a reason why you should know this.
