My nan came onto facetime while i was talking to my sister, chatted sortly and then said "I have to go, I can't drink my tea unless its scalding hot" Its July...

Lol 😂

Actually quite useful: "biweekly" is confusing as some may consider that as twice a week or every 2 weeks. "Fortnightly" can only mean once every 2 weeks.

why not BBC Radio 5? Just curious

I am from the US and I have thought the same thing ( why do we call it math when it should be maths) and always assumed I was just overthinking. Then I learned that Brits use maths and now I feel less foolish. Also, I love eagle f****r. Laughed out loud on that.

And Frooty Loop to musicians! Sorry, I had to.

Us British can sneak up on you like a ninja in the night or even an iceberg in open water

Translation: Friend it's hard to explain, it's just like one day you will be with your friends having a look in a sports shop (called JD) and you might fancy the curry offer that's on at the local pub (called Wetherspoons) but your friend Calum, who is a legend and awesome will be like "Guys let's go to Nando's (a resturant chain in the UK, cheap and good tasting food, hence it feeling a bit cheeky) instead." and you'll think "Great idea. Let's go for it."

As a french, I find this....bizarre

Someone told me a lot of Americans don't even own a kettle, I'm slightly scared to ask if that's true....?

That's probably because they never had to become an independent country.

Why is that so weird to Americans? You know what I find weird? That Americans make everything sickly sweet and have an unhealthy relationship with Maple Syrup. On bacon? Really people?

"Pulp" is a band. "Juicy bits" are simply juicy and awesome. I'm ok with this one :D

I suppose people in the USA get a compulsory tip because the don't earn enough from their employers and have to life on their clients charity...?

Same in Poland

If you youtube Anglophenia she explains why there are two taps. They didnt want the hot water being contaminated by the cold water as they had seperate tanks. This was back in the day, they just do it now as nostalgia thing.

That still would make a sick tattoo with a STORY

And you thought us Brits were straight laced and uppity. Mr Blobby is proof, do not mess with the Brits if you don't want the nightmares Freddy Kruger gets when sick.

*also true in the North Eastern US

Due to the common market trade agreements, there was something of a campaign a while back for food terminology in Europe: They basically wanted all British chocolate renaming as chocolate candy because it wasn't pure enough by their standards (too much milk fat and sugar, not enough cocoa).

Wtf is wrong w ur name!

They see me rolling, they hatin'...

Actually all over Europe it's pretty common to have your washing machine in the kitchen. If the bathroom is too small and there is no extra room, where else would you put it? Also in some apartments the water/drain pipes for washing machines are installed in the kitchen only, so you really have no other choice.

That looks like my washing machine. And my kitchen sink . . . And my work top . . . Is this my kitchen?

I remember my grandparents (here in the US) and many older generations had their washing machines in the kitchen. Houses were much smaller and no one had a laundry room. It wouldn't bother me, I am glad to have one at all.

Our houses are smaller. My mum's kitchen doesn't have SPACE for the washer, so it goes in her unusually large utility room. I don't *have* a utility, and my bathroom barely has enough space for a person as well as a toilet, sink and small bath with a shower over it, so if I was to go along with a certain snotty celebrity's recent petition that they should be banned from kitchens, I'd have to put all my washing into a big bag, google for the one remaining laundrette within 10 miles, hump it down two flights of stairs to the car, drive there, pile a ludicrous number of coins into a machine of uncertain performance, then either spend 2-3 hours sat there killing time until it finished, or go run other errands trusting that no-one is going to interrupt the cycle and steal my s**t. Or I could put it in the only other room besides the bathroom that has water and high current power circuits provided. Which is after all why it ended up appearing there in the first place, and indeed why it was

It's common also in other Countries!

You have to take into account the building regulations too. In some areas of the UK it's illegal to have electrical sockets in the bathroom. So you're limited by where you can put such things. Add to that the tradition that laundry was always done in the kitchen. Back before plumbing, the kitchen was where the fire was, and where the heat was. So laundry was done there too. When washing machines came in, they were automatically installed in the kitchen. It is slowly going out as new homes are built and expectations change, but when it's the way you've always done it and it works, why would you bother?

I have a washer and dryer in my kitchen. And oh, I'm an American. :O

We do that in Egypt as well.

Its because we have newer homes and space isnt a huge issue. Old home in America do this too.

Not exactly the kind of place I'd like to do my laundry in... Ah yes, I just finished tenderizing a steak on this counter top. Now let's fold some laundry! :/
