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....?

Same theory as when the Super Bowl is on in America. All the flushing at halftime causes water shortages.

Nobody uses kettles anymore we just have those coffee makers that you put the little cup thing in.

I'm American and consider myself a normal person- most days. I boil water in a stovetop kettle and steep tea with a strainer ( sometimes tea bag) in a ceramic mug. It seems like a lot of Americans use the microwave but I don't own one of those by choice so IDK.

Here - I checked it for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup

I’m American, and we use an electric kettle, and have a full cupboard full of tea. We use sugar and milk, or honey instead of sugar. And drink out of jokingly decorated mugs. (Someone here said they just put it in the microwave. That’s not common here right? Bc if it is I didn’t get the memo.)

I am a tea drinker, which I learned from visits to the UK and I did get an electric kettle. I got that habit from living in other countries. I saw a survey and more people in the US use electric kettles than kettles on the range (hob) now. The tea might not be the black tea you see in the UK (I do) but it's tea. More coffee drinkers, though.

What is a kettle?

I freaked out in Las Vegas when my hotel didn’t have a kettle in the room. Had to buy hot water from Starbucks! (For my tea bags)

fun times

I watch this and just thought, well they sure do have everyone trained and I mean everyone.

They boost power here at peak times too. My internet slows way down too. All the school kids getting home during the school year.

And there are finger sandwiches.

Weak power grid. Nope. Never fly in USA.

Oh wow. I use my microwave to make tea.

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
