How you can mention the class obsession without bringing up Keeping Up Appearances escapes me.
YES! "Búckét residence! Lady of the house speaking! Oh it's you Violet"
Onslow is my spirit character.
@HHR It's an excellent sitcom.
My parents love that show.
Class goes way back to Are You Being Served and Faulty Towers for me. But yes, Hyacinth made it clear to us non-Brits that she attempted to be more posh and refined than she actually is. 😂
I’m often found in a queue to complain to my local council about the fact that my bin wasn’t collected the day after bonfire night, a cup of tea firmly grasped in my hand, discussing that mornings downpour with the guy I met in the pub yesterday lunchtime whilst ordering fish and chips.
I find this comment a little underwhelming like a firework in a front garden.
Hey, beans on toast is not only "normal" it's SACRED! 😆
Only if it’s got cheese and brown sauce on top
@@JF1908x got to be HP Brown Sauce though and mature cheddar 😋
Holy shit I just can’t stand wet toast 💀
It's a food group we need to keep sane and healthy.
with a runny yolk fried egg on top.
Many people say that UK food is particularly bad, but most cities & large towns have a wide variety of food in restaurants, supermarkets etc. You're not limited to British food.
Its not bad at all...we just like the flavour of the actual food and dont need to load it with spices....
Or huge lists of chemical additives. UK food is extremely good, and our recipes often go back centuries. A great deal of our favourite foods are of foreign origin, dating to our Imperial past (it happened, and thankfully ended; get over it), and instilled a love of spices, curries and sauces. We do like to taste the food we eat, and not just the heat of some sauce. Our sauces generally complement and enhance our foods, rather than overpowering them.
@Alfred Weber Yes we have some excellent food. You can go over the France and experience some atrocious food...and they are supposed to have the best on the world. It's all nonsense. There's nothing more delicious than a roast dinner...
@@LusciousTwinkle aye The Toby's do a good one but so does my mum lol
Protestant food prided itself on being plain. Fancy flavours were for the Catholics... like the French. Bertrand Russell grew up in a home with 8 servants but said the food was relentlessly plain.
How often the rubbish is collected varies depending on how often your council chooses to do so.
And how competent they are
False. Bullshit. Incorrect. Liar. Idiot. Moron. Lazy person. Inconsiderate. Ungrateful. Idiots like you were clapping for us every Thursday night two years ago, now your all ttrying to run us over again, whilst calling us lazy. Fuck Off.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
During the first lockdown our whole street got infected with rats due to the council not picking up bins for about 2 months....
When ringing up to complain, the council told us that we each needed to pay £29 to get a vermin exterminator out.
So thats about 50 x £29 😂😂😂
It only costs £29 to get one person out to your house,
The funny thing is the rats infected the street not our houses
God knows what we pay council tax for
Luckily we all decided to exterminate ourselfs using molatovs and fire to drive them back,
When the fire brigade came and after we explained about the council, they laughed and helped us exterminate the rats
Its the most british thing iv ever come across
Apart from the tea one, this is more like what an American person THINKS we Brits are like...most of these are true for lots of countries...
Yeah, I honestly hate stereotypes like that. That’s like us saying that said Americans eat cheeseburgers and/or fried chicken all the time.
idk how to break this down to you but... no, none of these things are true anywhere else. Sorry
The pantomime one is mostly a UK thing, but the queuing and other stuff like that is present elsewhere.
@@elchotocorazon In the UK it's normal to put out bins for bin day and (as the vid said) you might get tutted at if y ou don't take them back in fast enough. In some countries you'll get fined if you don't take them back in.
@@Werten25 Honestly, poor Americans most likely do eat fast food almost all the time in the US since actually healthy food is almost never affordable for anyone who isn't at least middle class in a suburb unless they have land to grow a garden personally.
A few years ago we had a couple of visitors from the USA who commented on our British obsession with the weather. First item on their agenda was a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon (approx 15 miles away). They started their journey in bright sunshine, met some freezing fog in the way, were assaulted by a thunderstorm when in Straford and had to contend with some snow on the way back. Guess what they talked about for the next 2 week.
BTW, you pronounced 'class' wrong, It's 'Clarse' :p
I ’marsively’ approve of this post.
Sounds like Ohio lol
The class one was really weird. That’s not how it works here and is a gross oversimplification of a very difficult subject in life across most of Europe
Agreed, nonsense for views.
Sure. If i had to say where i fit into the whole class thing i would say i am pretty low. I never experienced any negative classist abuse.
I'm guessing you don't get out much
You have to wonder how a film like Trading Places got made if class is only a 'thing' in the UK...
I think you all are reading too much into it, the same kind of classism happens here in Australia, but it is mostly now part of the good nature ribbing rather than actual hatred and being adversaries. it's almost like the British Sarcastic Humour has been missed.
I once for Sociology started with other class members formed a queue outside a coffee shop to see how the public would react low and behold it’s gradually got longer and longer. You can’t beat a good queue though can you.
“Mystery Meat” still gets me. Oh Brian 😂
It’s how I describe our version of a Döner
Steven Toast, in the thumbnail, is hilarious - yet most people haven't heard of Toast of London, let alone seen it.
I can hear you, Clem Fandango!
Can't be a brit comment didn't end in a x
This video made me want to check it out honestly
I think Matt Berry is an absolute genius. Wasn't a massive fan of Toast of Hollywood though, but he has me rolling in the aisles in Toast of London and What we do in the shadows.
@@helvete983 He was also hilarious in The IT Crowd. He wasn't in every episode though.
You missed cream/afternoon tea - thinly cut sandwhiche with the crusts cut off with various fillings, scones jam and cream and finish off with cake and endless flow of tea. I remember I had to explain it to an American couple who were on a British cruise sip with us a few years ago. They were most confused with the consept.
Except for the scones and cream, that couple must have never been to a tea party before in their lives. It's almost identical in an American setting. We just don't generally have scones. The closest American equivalent to a scone in the US is a breakfast item that is almost identical to a completely plain unflavored scone when it is made like a cake would be that crumbles. The other kind in the US is more like bread, so I don't think it would work with the jam and cream.
Only Steven Toast (and other characters played by Matt Berry) could make an innocuous phrase like "let us throw caution to the wind" so hilarious.
Lol caucion to the hwind! I love Matt Berry
Tea is a cure all! if someone dies in hospital the nurse will ask if anyone would like a cuppa to get over the shock. It's like a comfort blanket
I find that this tradition of offering a cuppa is disappearing rapidly. Once when talking to a priest, I actually had to ask for a glass of water because my throat was dry - and he got all upset over just a glass of tap water! I was left apologizing profusely!
@@LittleKitty22 you really like to piss on people’s bonfires don’t you lol
Sometimes I really do enjoy being British when I watch WatchMojoUK.
Posted April 1st 🤣
Sums us up perfectly this video does.
Excuse me, the Swedish love a good conversation about the weather, that and kaffe lol
It's common to talk about the weather in parts of the world in which it's changeable.
Yep it's also very normal in the Netherlands. Often they say ''Hollandse weer'' i.e. Dutch weather
@S. G. That's true. The heat will literally kill you in the Summer most years if your air conditioning breaks or you can't afford to run it.
The weather is a big topic in Canada too. I live in Switzerland now, but whenever I talk with someone back home, it's always one of the first topics that is discussed. It's like a formal requirement. Weather must be discussed or we have missed an important topic😅
Isn't the bin pick up normal everywhere?
seeing as a lot of Canadians descend from Britain that might explain it lol but yeah you're right, I think if you live you in a desert you probably won't talk much about the weather...
@@xtoll123 Actually, BTW American here, you will complain about weather wherever you are eventually. It's just a matter of "how often". American Southerners, descended mostly from Northern Brits and Europeans, complain about our literally deadly heat we get every year, for example. You wouldn't believe how many poor people would die if their air conditioning broke or they can't afford to run it.
@@jwb52z9 wow don't know how you stand it, I agree I'd probably complain about the heat if fact i'm sure of it lol
I didn’t realise how much I drank until I left the UK. I lived in a very working class area and it was like an unwritten rule that you had to get drunk the night before any day off work. Waking up on your day off without a hangover was just a waste of a day off. Now I just drink a few times a year. If I tell my mates back home I haven’t touched a beer for four months they think it’s insane. If I tell my wife she just says four months is not a long time 😂 and she’s totally right.
thus highlighting that class-snoibbery is usually middle-class people claiming that they are working class or at least were. (i.e. that they had to battle against the odds to become rich or 'well-off' or 'comfortable') in other words, inverted snobbery. And just to prove how working class I am .... I should like to point out that Pantomime is quite like Japanese Kabuki.
@@MrVorpalsword what? 😂
@@MrVorpalsword Yes, but Pantomime is happy. Kabuki tends to be kind of stern.
@@jwb52z9 it made me laugh my socks off when I watched it.
Weather conversations and Queuing is definitely not something only Brits do.
Weather no, but the queueing part isn't about queues just existing. It's that it's engrained in people to form orderly queues themselves and have a certain etiquette. It's taken very seriously. In the US, for example, people will cut people off, cut in, stand close or try to overtake people, and they always have to be told when, where and how to queue for something. In a lot of South American countries, you'll see people just crowding and not queueing at all.
That’s exactly what I thought.
@@shaun2463 I know what they meant, but it's still not only the Brits who do it. Here in Germany for example it's just the same.
@@Effaly_ Oh, you can't use Germany as an example. Germany invented being organised and taking most things very seriously, not just queues 😂
In Sweden you que all the time. It's culture
Tea, and lots of it, is easily one of the best things about the UK. Everyone has their own favorite brand or blend (something you will find applies to the Irish as well). Personally I like the Thompson's brand. But if you really want to delve into the British psyche then start a debate as to if Jaffa Cakes are a cake or a biscuit and also ask 'What is the best biscuit for dunking?'.
To me, Jaffa cakes are a biscuit and the best biscuit to dunk is easily a plain digestive or rich tea.
@@BallissleJaffa Cakes are cakes because they go hard when stale (biscuits go soft). It was decided by HMRC
God I’m proud to be British, a northerner and a Yorkshire lass!
Narrator: Number 10, Pantomime
All Brits: Oh no it isn't!
Love this video thanks you
thats cos everything we do is normal, its other countries that are weird
lol
I always enjoy a pantomime; Dick Whittington is my favourite as the name gives rise to plenty of innuendo for the grownups to enjoy!
So, pantomimes are strange? Oh no they're not!!!!
Oh yes they are!
And most of the celebrities careers when they appear in panto? It’s behind them!
The class obsession smacks of jealousy to me. I'd rather be rich and miserable than poor and miserable (I'm a Yank).
weathers been strange of late, it snowed for 30 sec and sunny the next
it stopped and started about five or six times yesterday, today only done it once.
I think there are lots of places more class obsessed than Britain
Americans use the weatherto break the ice all the time. and im sure were not the only ones either
Most British people don't do "small talk", so it's not quite the same.
I'm British and the whole X at the end of every text is complete bollocks.
The number of pubs in the UK has halved in the 21st c.
Yeah but still lots of them. For how long Idk
Its a disgrace. They were vital to teach young people to drink responsibly and were the heart of the community...plus its really weird but if you go into any comments section about the subject there are TONS of people hating on them... They sound like puritans.
@@LusciousTwinkle Rather a pub then a shitty night club, cheaper pints too.
We’re a nation that pushes cheap beer on people and are then quick to judge and cast out alcoholics at the same time blaming them for the state of the country
@@LusciousTwinkle A lot of Americans don't understand the difference between a pub and a bar, unfortunately. You can't bring a kid to a bar in the US in most cases. Teaching kids to drink responsibly on purpose is something that would never happen in the US. American parents, as a whole, just tend to say "Don't you ever do it" about drinking and a lot of other things.
not only the people of the u.k. are talking of the weather we dutch do too. and i wish the streets where cleaner by trowing your paper bags in the bin. Please forgive me my mistakes in writing,
Nice weather were having
British is still best!
Lovely folk - laugh at themselves and have good manners.
(Weather-obsession is even worse in other places - Malta, for instance...)
xx (xxxxxxx)
I’ve got into panel shows like 10 years ago and I feel like I finally understand a quarter of this list 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to add we like to moan and complain about everything. Hence why the Aussies refer to us as "Whinging Poms". Oh, and also we are lazy in terms of learning other languages. We expect everyone to speak English and adapt to our language, even when we go to foreign countries.
Not all of us don’t, thanks. Some of us are fluent in 4 languages and cringe at the thought of speaking English in Spain.
I'm British and the class obsession is one thing I don't like about my own country. It's probably why we still have a monarchy along with the House of Lords and haven't become a republic like a normal country.
Omg lol apparently Newfoundland is part of the UK! Love it!
I love our customs. What I hate is how we're taking on American customs. Such as prom night and the American style of Halloween
Why exactly? I'm just curious.
@@jwb52z9 because America is not a country any country should want to be remotely like
The amount of Michelin Star chef’s that are in Britain is crazy.
I think it’s around 168. 7th in total overall in the world.
To say we have boring food is just a lazy stereo type carried on from rations “during the war”
every Michelin Star Chef from the UK I have ever seen the Menu of, specializes in Gourmet Foreign Foods, not British.
Though now I am wanting to look up a Haggis made by a Michelin Star Chef....
@@Rodger_Phillips granted there’s many that are classically French trained and have many influences from France, but a lot of chefs in/from the UK specialise in clean, simple, classic, British dishes.
You make us sound like a nation of cliche’s and sheep. I can 100% confirm being a British person… that this is mostly other countries stereotypical views on us, i don’t like tea, i don’t discuss the weather every 6 hours, and the whole “only brits binge drink or drink until they pass out” is a load of horse piss ( have you ever been to poland ? ) and i will speak to pretty much anyone i find interesting, not because they’re in a certain class. And last but not least by a long shot, I DO NOT COVER MY CHIPS IN CURRY SAUCE BECAUSE IM NOT A SADIST.
The 'scone' thing made me laugh. A British friend of mine was visiting me in Canada years ago, and one afternoon I offered him a scone, which I pronounced as 'scawn'. My friend's reply: 'SCAWN'? Aren't WE posh!!' From that day forth, I've called them scones. As Ronnie Corbett once said, "'I know my place".
Both my paternal grandparents were working class, they both pronounced scone differently.
I very rarely use the term tea. It's almost always, "'avin a brew, mate?"
I used to deliberately confuse my American work colleagues by using the term "Tea" to replace the commonly called "Dinner" as evening meal and "Dinner" to replace the commonly termed "Lunch". I didn't know what Dinner was until I joined the Army at 20.
I have lived in 11 countries and the UK is probably the least obsessed with class
Not really I live I England and its something I hear daily. But it's just not like Jane Austen kind of class
That's because we all know our place! 😂😂😂
I live in the north… up here class is something we’d say when we see a rich person lose all their money and end up having to live in the same shitty block of flats you do.
I don't know if you can claim the bin thing as purely British anymore. America's recycling is collected once a week. We bring the bins out to the end of the road we get them at the beginning of the next day. We judge people who leave them out. And now describing this it sounded very British of me, and I'm offended lmao 🤣😂
The native british english is the better and the best for all
Agreed and It did originate from Britain
@@Thebear0917 yeah
The bin one is true, a neighbour left their green bin out on the sidewalk for two weeks until it was next picked up and it was very stressing for me
I suspect that when Brits talk about the weather, it’s not small talk. They mean it.
I'm from America and the class ranking and kids going into pubs shocked me 😱 but yeah, weather and standing in lines (queuing) is pretty common here (for me at least) haha.
It’s no worse than taking your kids in to a restaurant that serves alcohol
Americans queue, yes, but there isn't a queueing culture. Trust me, it's not the same.
@@shaun2463 could you explain it in greater detail?
@@JF1908x maybe I'm confused on what a pub actually is haha. I thought it was like a bar.
@@ashleylittlefoot14 sure, I think I left out the detail because I just waffled on about it in another reply. The queueing part isn't about queues just existing. It's that it's engrained in people to form orderly queues themselves and have a certain etiquette. It's taken very seriously. In the US, for example, people will cut people off, cut in, stand close or try to overtake people, and they always have to be told when, where and how to queue for something. In a lot of South American countries, you'll see people just crowding and not queueing at all.
What's the alternative to queuing? If parts of the world don't have it, what do they do instead?
They cause chaos by pushing each other out of the way to get to the front
Ever been at a bar where people just 'pile up to it and try and get seen first'? In some other countries it's like that more often than not. In the UK it's usually 'form a queue and join the queue at the back', in our culture we'll do it automatically even when there's not a sign or something that shows you where to queue.
In a lot of South American countries, people will just form crowds, or just stand around and just kind of go forward whenever (kind of like on Mock The Week when they go up to the mic to tell jokes)
@@JF1908x The Spanish for instance...
The video was not clear - from eading other replies I got it, but the vid showed situations were queues are pretty much compulsory - airports, etc.
I’m from the American Midwest. I can totally get behind talking about the weather. We can talk about the weather with the best of them. But that is because we get every weather extreme, sometimes all in the same day. Thundersnow, blizz-nado whatever, we get it all.
Can I just take this moment as a Brit to say that the concept of "Anglophiles" is extremely weird. Not necessarily in a good way.
@@mattparkin7224 It's honestly nothing more than someone who appreciates British culture who isn't British. Some Americans simply don't know how to do it without making it into a caricature situation, unfortunately.
In the midwest we are justified in talking about the weather.
The weather in britain is baby soft in comparison.
@@mattparkin7224 I’m not sure why you think being an Anglophile is weird. You’re probably right. I just like British humor. I don’t go around saying Governor or talking in a horrible Cockney accent. And I just think America is full of horrible people now. But maybe every place is.
Britain is certainly full of horrible people@@lazybelphegore6748
Erm…jacket potatoes on bonfire night?? Thank you very much!
It was actually someone else that planned blowing up Parliament.Guy Fawkes got all the credit.
Credit he was found setting it all up 😂
I think I’m going to need a new belt 😂
4. You forgot making baked potatoes in the embers.
Always found the regional variations with chips to be interesting. Usually it was always salt and vinegar with maybe mushy peas, but I love gravy too. With chips from the Chinese you always had curry sauce. Wasn't until I was going out with a girl from Burnley that gravy became a staple in my chippy order.
Salt and brown sauce is popular in Edinburgh, it’s a good combination. But I’m a vinegar freak.
@@JF1908x Can't go wrong with a good dollop of HP. Love vinegar too, but living in the middle of nowhere in Sweden means I have to ration my bottle of Sarsons. There are only a couple of UK expat shops here and they are in the bigger cities.
In wales you would add cheese to the gravy (you usually dial 999 before starting to let them know you’re going to have a heart attack)
I think whoever wrote the script to this may never lived outside of the UK
Yep missed all kinds of absurd stuff like not rinsing stuff when washing up, eating Lasagna with chips and / or garlic bread, or even Pizza and chips. Or tinned spaghetti existing.
@@simonh6371 tinned food isn’t just a UK thing it’s funny how most of our tinned foods are produced in America
@@Thenorthsace I know, tinned food exists everywhere! I've lived in 6 different countries and also travelled to around 20 (where I usually went into local supermarkets) and they all had tinned food, nothing wrong with it at all. My point was tinned spaghetti is something nobody would imagine existing! Trust me it's a uniquely British thing, although I'm pretty sure they have it in the Republic of Ireland. Same as you'd be shocked if I told you there was tinned rice...although actually in the Netherlands some discount supermarkets sell cheap tinned nasi (Indonesian fried rice) but it's not the best. I don't think I've bought or seen any tinned food from the US in the UK though. Very little food here comes from there except ingredients like sweet potatoes, or US grain makes it's way into a lot of unexpected products. For example Morocco's largest producer of couscous (Dari) makes it from US wheat.
Tbf cup of tea is the go to regardless of the situation I wake up and have a cuppa I have one before bed and when I found out my grandad died I went and offered everyone one to occupy myself my mom gave me the dirtiest look ever (I get why but it was a way of trying to keep myself calm) my auntie and cousins all said yes and we silently sipped our tea before deciding to acknowledge that he died. Kind of funny if not depressing because of the situation 😬
You should have played the next bit of Jerry St Clair's song too.
Weather conversation is common where I am from in Oregon.
Number 7 is wrong. I don't live in the UK and we discuss the weather. It's called having seasons.
Pantomimes are historic….in the US the same class attitude depends on money. What safer way to start conversation than the weather. Good manners isn’t bad,, Except here in the U S. History….what’s different about July 4th…..tea…anti oxidant….and in the U S no one drinks….pubs are social.
Backpackers are the worse queue jumpers particularly the Germans, most Brits get to use the phrase "Stand am ende des Linies!" at least once a day in Central London.
If you think Germans are the worst, you obviously haven’t travelled much.
ROFLMAO, I man I have watched two of these "Only brits do" and realise that though I was born and raised and lived in Australia for my full 52 years, I do almost all the things I have seen so far, right down to the Bins and Judging people if they leave them out, lol
and yep even Nov 5th, this one my wife and I chose to be our anniversary date, because chosing the date made more sense at the time. Also
the underwhelming fireworks comment, it took me a moment to realise you were not talking about Guy Fawlkes attempt fire it up, you meant the modern celebrations, lol
New Zealand also celebrates Guy Fawkes on November 5th!
Panto isnt confusing, its cringe-worthy
Panto is 🤮x
You must not forget the importance of arguing by speaking very loudly, whilst pronouncing every word perfectly, and then finishing the sentence with Sir or Madam.
No. Ireland has Patomines, we use the "x", we talk about the weather, we queue, we have bin collections, Holloween bonfires, the Irish drink more tea than the Brits, alcohol culture check.
The food one needed Crisps, Roast Dinners, Fish and Chips.
Also I last spoke about the weather 4 hours ago so that made me laugh.
Tea and milk, which first depends if using a Tea Pot.
Luckily, Fish and Chips are good anywhere in the world if you live near enough to a fishing area.
@@jwb52z9 I don't think I've ever had fish and chips elsewhere outside Britain. Glad to hear they are good anywhere else (if near a fishing area like you say. Hope elsewhere has tomato sauce and salt tho oh and a wooden fork.
Born in chatham … the birthplace of the Chav…. It’s true Brits really do hold where you are from against you
Small talk is one thing as a Brit living in Sweden I kind of miss. Swedes just do not tolerate it, full stop. They kind of have the attitude that if you are going to talk to them as a stranger then you'd better have something worth saying.
The "rules" are relaxed amongst friend though.
I hate small talk Sweden sounds great
Saying hello as they pass or seeing them is just giving the intent that you’re friendly and not out to follow them home and murder their family.
I was always under the assumption that British people were taught as children to never speak to a stranger, so small talk wasn't a thing.
@@jwb52z9 the weather small talk can't be included then.........
Not all Brits drink tea.
Yes they do. 🤪
Pantomimes are strange - oh no they're not!
Drinking... A few countries in Europe drink more than we do, but they just don't do it in style like we do. They sit down, take their time, stay out until 4 in the morning. We sprint our way across the town and drink as much as we can, as fast as we can...
Constantly hear about all this boozing and visiting pubs on YT, who has the money for the all the family to spend the whole day in the pub and kids weren’t tolerated in pubs when I was young.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE UK!
I was recommended to visit this by JT reacts. One thing where I live is firework night is followed by complaints for the about a week on social media of peoples pets being frightened by the noise and how selfish everyone is to want them.
I ❤ TEA!!!
5:13 Jan! What’s she thinking 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
i don't know anybody who drinks tea anymore, but we do drink alcohol sometimes (a lot of countries do though)
You are kidding right? I dont know anyone who DOESNT drink tea....Its the only one on the list which is slightly true...
@@LusciousTwinkle idc, nobody where i live drinks it. so not all brits drink it
Most of my people are coffee drinkers
@@Thenorthsace same
Talking about chips... ORANGE CHIPS. I miss them can't find them anywhere in Stoke unlike back down in Dudley.
If I leave my bin out sheep knock it over
We don't need to learn other languages,when confronted with non-english speakers we just say, "sergeant,take this man outside and shoot him"; guaranteed instant English speaker every time!
OMG. I’m a Brit! Here I thought I was just a garden variety US geeky person!
Sorry but the statement is wrong about our bins in the U.K., are emptied weekly. Our bins are emptied every 3 weeks.
West Midlands here, our are emptied every two weeks. My parents on the other hand are just one council over and theirs are emptied every week. Just varies depending on the council really.
Depends on where you are. My bins and recycles are done weekly
Ours are done every 3 weeks too but also weekly at the same time, black bins (general rubbish) one week, blue bin (recyclables)the next week and green bin (garden bin) the week after, then restarts.
@@crispymongoose Walsall Council both emptied every 2 weeks except Garden bin which stops in Winter but I think is emptied every week.
@@lorddarlo6194 same here, Walsall as well!
I agree with bonfire night, talking about the weather, and drinking loads but the rest are just stereotypes.
It’s not just England that drink a lot ours is just in the news more because of football
What programme is the scene of the drunken policeman from?
Limmy’s Show I believe
Personal take coffee over tea
Those weird poppers during a UK Christmas. Why?
The bins are collected every 2 weeks
Squash confuses people not from the UK.
I remember at uni the students studying abroad were confused why I put a tiny amount of liquid in a glass to then fill it up with water.
Squash exists outside of the UK.
@@JF1908x It exists in the Netherlands and Austria for example but it's much higher quality and much more expensive, and much less common.
In America it’s called racket ball i think 🤔 could be wrong
@@Thenorthsace I hope you are joking. I'm American, but even I know that squash is a drink concentrate.
The closest thing in the US to squash is a very expensive brand or two of these tiny squeeze bottles that have a concentrated liquid used to flavor water for people who won't drink it otherwise.
Tea being the Cure-all.
In Scotland it's a bottle of Lucazade
Or special brew.
Or Bucky!
@@matthewheaton9700 Buckfast is the cure all for intelligence.. Everytime I hear about someone drinking Buckfast, they've done something stupid.

I used to live in Buckfastleigh, the town next to the village of Buckfast where the filth is made. It's incredibly expensive there compared to say, in Scotland where they seem to love it. The Scots that I met, either from the times I've lived there or due to holidaying there (as my Gran used to live in St.Andrews), either love the fact I came from where it was made or simply don't believe me for some reason.
The Monks from the Abbey, where it's made, keep the best and strongest stuff for themselves. I didn't even like that stuff.
I wonder how quickly the youtube censors would've taken this video down if it included the next line in bin bags song.
I may be a yank, but I have celebrated guy Fawkes night, even made an effigy.
I don’t understand why panto never came to Australia.
I think it's weird how blokes send xs. I really don't think they know how weird it is.
Blimey, yes that would be weird. Never happened to me. I'd keep my distance from a dude that sends an x!

So in other countries what's in place of queuing? Fighting? Tickets? What?
Shoving each other out of the way. Or at best, everyone just goes to the front when they feel like it. Depending on the country.
Some parts of American grocery stores will use tickets when there is a long wait for things like meat at the butcher's counter.
they used to make memes about Bottom Gear and all
French fries sandwich with vinegar
