I agree, who knew Britain was so weird.
Britain is viewed as very harsh, brutal with their dialect but reading through some of these they’re all pretty chill, like ‘donut’, it’s just a playful way of calling someone stupid.
No tea drinkers ):
Bloody hell! No tea!
How am I gunna eat me crumpets without no tea!
I’m gonna be honest the way people talk about our accents is way too exaggerated-
Yes, it depends where one would live in England.
It’s not always off although usually other places (I’m looking at you America) tend to mess it up and go way to old fashioned English.
English Slang and vocabulary are one of the strangest and fastest changing thing out there.
(I’m looking at you America)
Lol it’s funny cuz I have an American friend that I met on a trip there, bc my sister is temporarily living there for her job
And she always tries to fake my accent, dunno why
Like, mate if you want the accent, at least learn how to use it-
True although how could she learn it unless she travels to England and sees the people and culture.
I mean, it wouldn’t be worth it because England is a miserable shithole but yes, she’d have to come here to learn the accent.
True
and yes, we do live in a miserable shithole-
She’s actually planning comming to England for a week or two just because
So..
Yeh
Ironic
And I just found the perfect site for her

The entirety of England:
Can relate

Brain not working, are you saying downside of tea?
I’m a coffee enjoyer by the way, not tea, as much as I am British.
Of England being destroyed
Tea is pretty great
But coffee makes me awake which is very nice
Fuck coffee.
