queue in an orderly manner 😂
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Funnyman when people say stuff like this, that you have no idea what it means
Nimbus · M
@Funnyman Naturally, is there any other way? :)
SW-User
@Funnyman we love a queue..it's called manners too

[b]You know you're British when.....[/b]

1. You leave the house with all you need....including an umbrella....Because you never know !
2. The top three items on your grocery list are tea; beer and curry !
3. You translate Customer Service as "How may i appear to help you ?"
4. No rain three days in a row sees an outbreak of shorts everywhere.
5. You're prepared to spend nearly 3 quid on a sandwich stuck in a box you need a flickknife and a PhD in engineering to open.
6. You get into University to study your chosen course. Only to emerge three years later with a debt the size of a mortgage and a career in Customer Service beckoning.
7. You'll spend upwards of 500 quid every year to go and watch a team that never seem to rise above 10th place in the league, happily pay 4 quid for a programme filled with ads for companies selling everything from plumbing services to accountancy; pay another three quid for a pie and a cup of tea that you don't really like, and afterwards tell yourself you had a good time !
8. Get embarrassed by the remotest hint of jingoism. eg: Eurovision Song Contest; World Cup Finals; Olympics; Last night of the Proms etc.
9. Begrudgingly partake of the "Company Christmas do". This is where your workplace has that ONE person who takes it upon themselves to organize a meal at a restaurant close to Christmas. And because they don't TRUST you, asks that all those WILLING to participate SIGN UP to it. Thus putting you in that unenviable position of looking like a complete ➖ should you fail to do so !
10. You're prepared to go to a Cricket test match, At LORDS,pay a fortune to get in, and you're dressed as a Smurf !

@Picklebobble2 Oh, excellent!

@Picklebobble2 Brilliant!

You say "biscuit" instead of "cookie."
You say "boot" instead of "trunk."
You say "pour me a pint" instead of just "pour me one."
You say "shite" instead of "sh*t."
Every other word is "c*nt." Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but you guys do use it a lot.
SW-User
Oh my god! Massive brain fart lol, I heard Mickey Rourke say it once that’s how I remember, 🤪 it’s I’m going through first hours of Monday insomnia lol@InOtterWords
SW-User
@SW-User Yes, she's right. Although "broad" is an old timey reference and no one under 35 uses it as far as I know. It's one of those words that's used once in a while as a joke. We also use chick, although that's pretty dated as well.

Thanks for the explanation about how cunt is used in Australia. I like expanding my knowledge of the basic vocabulary of other countries. 😆
SW-User
@SW-User yeah I hear it in older flicks not so much now,
I love explaining it and it gives other Anglo folk insight to not be so offended when you hear Aussies use cunt so frequently lol, [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-SUhJT3g1c]
Saying cunt really loud when you hurt yourself, is good morphine 🤣🤣
SW-User
you never talk about anything to your family
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
@SW-User not even the weather ?
SW-User
@Brianthesnail okay, that's the exception lol
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
@SW-User and beer and tea
SW-User
Eat fish and chips and drink cup of tea.
liondog · 51-55, M
@SW-User Fish and chips at the seaside is even better.
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Yum!
liondog · 51-55, M
You complain about the weather no matter what it's like.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@liondog You complain about EVERYTHING no matter what it is or like.
Nimbus · M
@Abrienda The truth hurts, ouchh! :)
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
@liondog I disagree. People in Mediterranean countries complain about the weather, when they shouldn't.
British people have more right to complain about such shitty weather
AbbeyRhode · F
You can't remember your wife's birthday, but you know Sir Alex Ferguson's. 😜

TAReturns · M
You’ve gotten into a fist fight over a football game. Specifically you punched an American while saying “Stop calling it soccer ⚽️ “
Nimbus · M
@TAReturns Lol, nail on head.
It IS FOOTBALL !
You eat beans on toast
@GeniUs what is it made out of?
GeniUs · 56-60, M

@GeniUs oh 😊
SW-User
You never leave home without an umberella
Nimbus · M
@SW-User I always take mine........even on a sunny day, just in case :)
when ---- you think wearing [b][c=#BF0000]Bright Red Coats[/c][/b] is a smashing idea when going to war in the American forests during the Revolution
@Nimbus I heard that King George III wanted to paint bulls eyes on the back of the jackets but was talked out of it.
Nimbus · M
@MarmeeMarch He wanted it to remain competitive! :)
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@MarmeeMarch That Revolution, was brits messing with other Brits!
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
Americans assume you live in a Castle or Stately Home 😂😂
Nimbus · M
@Dlrannie :)

Do the servants complain when they fall in?
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@Nimbus No they consider the tea a bonus 😂
Nimbus · M
@Dlrannie 😆
You have bad teeth and eat shitty food
@SW-User First off if you are going to use the vernacular of Mom, you should still capitalize Mum. Lower case is an insult and a slight against your elder. Secondly, you still haven't contributed to the conversation. I however; have given sage advice to you.
SW-User
@LesserUgly so you contributed..with bullshit
and insult

mum
To anybody reading this I was just joking until the weird old guy who deleted his replies and presumably blocked me got offended.I still stand by !y opinion of Japan though.
You drink PG Tips tea and go to 'Last Night of the Proms'

toddr13 · 46-50, M
You say “sorry,” even when you’re in the right.
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
@toddr13 you can start any sentence with Sorry . . .
@toddr13 Canadians say I am sorry frequently.
Nimbus · M
@toddr13 Sorry? :)
MachiavellianSpirit · 26-30, F
You know that not all biscuits are referred to as cookies
Nimbus · M
@MachiavellianSpirit News to me :)
MachiavellianSpirit · 26-30, F
Cookies are a type of biscuit but biscuits are most definitely not cookies ;)
Adec757 · 51-55, M
You get depressed at the end of the cricket season!
Nimbus · M
@Adec757 Not today with a win against India :)
Adec757 · 51-55, M

You never get overly emotional about anything.
SW-User
@SW-User I'm emotional as hell
SW-User
@Nimbus ESPECIALLY the football 😜
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M

SW-User

days ago, I've been told I am from the UK
I was very surprised
SW-User
Not at all
I like the UK a lot
but how can they make such a mistake ?
Nimbus · M
@SW-User I have no idea but am glad you like the UK.
SW-User
I'll relocate there anytime lol
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
Even though it's silly, you still have a royal family.
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@Brianthesnail the question was.
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
There are over 40 countries with monarchs. Others still follow their dispossessed royal families. Others, like USA even take an interest in other countries royal families and even bought Princess Diana mugs

It's all "bollocks", isn't it?
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@Brianthesnail yes it sure is.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
Size of your brain, compared to the tiny American ones.

You eat a '99.Bet the Americans haven't a clue like on Buzz50!
4meAndyou · F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales You should always leave the flake in, right? And eat around it?
@4meAndyou that's what I do.Push it down in the cornet then and munch...

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Wow, haven't had one of those for many years!

Jolly Good
Nimbus · M
You will eat anything that has the word ( sheep or kidney ) in it.🤢
Nimbus · M
@MarmeeMarch lololol, almost.
You can't choose between the cricket or the football, g&t, suns out so get your shorts on, fish and chips, pie and mash, and everything is solved by "shall I put the kettle on?"
Nimbus · M
@InOtterWords Great summary!
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M

@ProdigalSummer depends on the accent
MethDozer · M
Drink shitty bitter piss ale.
Nimbus · M
@MethDozer Have you tried a lager?
Brianthesnail · 56-60, M
@MethDozer IMHO, there are only two good things about Britain. First, the beer is, beyond any point of comparison, the best in the world
I can't remember the second one
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@Brianthesnail it's the NHS, they'll fix you regardless of whether you can afford it or not and if you're involved in an accident won't take you to a private hospital when there is a state hospital available (unlike some countries, yes i'm looking at you Spain).
