Now, thanks to the wonderful Internet I could do some research on the matter and guess what? Here's a youtube video which shows you all the things which British people do according to Americans Please be warned though that there are some (slightly) adultish' jokes being made here and there. Nothing over the top (otherwise I wouldn't share it) and I think it's funny, but do keep it in mind. Also: don't take this too seriously And in case you'd rather not be confronted with slightly specific humor then here's the list of 10 things which (according to WhatCulture) Americans think all British do: 10 - We drink tea. 9 - We like to queue. 8 - We speak like the Queen. 7 - We send all our kids to posh schools. 6 - We obsess over the Royals. 5 - We live in London (or on a postcard). 4 - We eat awful food. (you know what can happen when Gordon Ramsey gets mentioned, right? ) 3 - We maintain a stiff upper lip. 2 - We go to the pub all the time. Another reason why I figured I'd best spoiler the video 1 - We all have bad teeth. SO yeah
It is quite good. Especially over ice & with some clear distilled adult liquid made famous by Russia & Poland .
You're mental. Drinking iced tea just makes you more mental. Too late. Time to debunk. True. True. Absolutely false. Absolutely false. Half-false. You either love the Royals, or hate them - I have yet to meet a person (in Liverpool, Manchester, or Cheshire, or the entirety of the country of Wales) who loves them. Obviously false (Find a native Brit in London. I dare you to try. Hint: The global cities of the world don't tend to have many non-immigrants in.) BRITISH TRADITIONAL FOOD -> EVERYONE ELSE'S FOOD (besides the Balkan states' and German and... I mean, nobody else's...) Sixteen years of living in the United Kingdom and I still don't know what 'stiff upper lip' means... As I'm under 18, I can't personally vouch for this one... but from observations of all the adults around me: this one is true. Bad-looking teeth, sure. The actual health of the teeth is, last time I heard, some of the best in the world.
I actually prefer it just sweetened iced tea with a splash of lemon juice & previously mentioned other liquid. Rather than the 1/2 & 1/2 version with lemonade.
We've discussed tea and other such things, but... Why have we not discussed music yet? The actual important stuff? British rock and British pop are some of the best music I've ever heard. Welsh folk music isn't that bad either (for folk music).
