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.

We've been watching Vera, The Loch, Unforgotten, Happy Valley, Scott & Bailey & Shetland and have added so many great new insults and idioms to our speech! It's fun yelling k******d and calling each other cow. I think I have developed a Scottish, Yorkshire, Puerto Rican accent.

can't beat a good chip butty :P

That reminds me of something I read. In germany the waterworks have to perpare for the breaks during important football games.

oh, the grammar

I like knobjockey. I might have to use it.

Makes sense, but.... I'm sure U.S.A. doesn't have the same accent in each state, just like the U.K. accents vary by countries and regions. Even in one single city of London you can differentiate between particular accents depending on the part of the city, no? Sorry, I'm an overthinker. *shrug*

Im british and have never seen, heardor tasted this. And i think it sounds terrible

Sandy is more cool than Frank? o_O

Um. Yeah. Maybe because a "f***y" is something else.

Because it saves on plug-ware. I save pounds every year on not having to replace plugs for my sink.

so... you know those little plastic packs that hot dogs come in have a salty liquid in them, right? They're not vacuum sealed in there all dry.

faith sadly did not understand the concept of an egg cup. They are for boiled eggs, which are then eaten with a spoon.

Yeah, Americans have this weird view of the British. In their TV shows EVERY British person either speaks in a really posh voice or is a cockney. WE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT!

Isnt a w***y a d**k?

Celebrating the day King James I survived what was essentially a terrorist plot to blow up the House of Lords. Interestingly we celebrate by blowing stuff up whilst freezing our collective backsides off and waving sparklers about.

when I first moved to the UK and switched on the TV I learned that this is a show about people who have some complaint that's "too embarrassing to show your doctor". But yeah, let's ALL have a look at that on national TV, why not.

It's actually quite delicious, economical and takes 5 min to prepare

exactly, that's just what you say!! or may be "past midnight" as well

I'm Australian - we grew up with Freddo Frogs!

It's correctly pronounced 'aitch', without the aspirant. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/aitch

That is my favorite TV show. I have NO CLUE what 90% of the things they are baking actually are -- never heard of them, never seen them. But the intensity with which they bake them is riveting!

Americans do that too. All the time.

i hope it's a joke. nobody can be so stupid

X = kiss. xoxo

why do american people use the word "f**k" like it's the word "and" in Britain

I love the British summer! It's my favourite day of the year

Because it's rude to call someone a foot.

As I British person I can 100% confirm that is exactly what we say

Nog true

Do you mean 'cheers'. No jizz at the dinner table please.
