saltiness one is true asf almost every brit i've met is like "salty"
yup yup XD
You forgot one...
England brutalized the Irish people, betrayed them, enslaved them, stole the Gaelic language and culture from them et cetera.
I'm sensing a lot of hate from an Irish person... I don't agree with the way the Irish people were treated and I am trying to be modern, I know the Irish dislike us but that is a different topic in itself.
You forgot one IMPORTANT point: how expensive it is.
We aren't that expensive! :D
We planned and scrapped three times a week long trip to London.
When we calculated the cost of it we went to Rome, Paris and Berlin.
Not a single word about the weather? And how you Brits like to talk about the weather as casual chatter? :)
Funnily enough I only forgot to do that because the weather at the time was sunny so I didn't consider it :D But yes, we do love to complain about weather most the time
... you still own a piece of land from Ireland which you stole. You forgot to mention that. SorryNotSorry.
I don't mention them because I have no objection to them leaving or staying <3
Ok. But that land is Ireland it should be made part of the republic.
I have no argument against that and if I was in power I would let them be but I don't have that power :(
I'm an American who loves visiting the UK !!!
My last trip was to Cambridge for work !!!
Now only if you kept your beer cold !!!
The Warm beer myth! Having sat in more than a few locals.. The "Warm beers" are called "hand pulled ales" that are kept at about 52f or 11c , so yeah, in comparison to refrigerated beer, I recon you could call them warm. But I never had a warm, Big Brew beer, not even accidentally. Besides, who could even get Bud, Coors or Miller past your lips if they are not nearly frozen..
@Philyouup -- by the way, I'll agree with you on most mass market beers from the US... they're pretty bad. While I'm not a big beer drinker, when I do have beer, I generally prefer one of several local ones that are actually pretty good.
I generally like what I drink to either be hot (coffee or tea), or quite cold, soda, beer, chardonnay.
you'd like the super chilled Guinness then! :)
Actually I went with a British girl and she loved my "American accent".
I don't mean to say EVERY American accent, I am sure you have varying accents, I just put "American" because I don't know what part of the US the accent is from -__- But yes, there will also be British people who like American accents but meh.
I actually read this with an engish accent in my head. Nice one.
*Giggling now* You're welcome ^_^
Title of the take mentioned Britain but the take talks specifically about England... There's unfortunately more to Britain than just England.
I'm talking about my area (I don't want to give bad information about areas I have little experience with)
Would you recommend I go to college in your country?
Our education's good and there is very little violence in my college, obviously for privacy reasons I can't tell you MY college but other ones are here.

Thank you
You're welcome :)
Interesting, but Britain is not just England, it's also Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, North Ireland and the Isle of Man.
Anyway, I like it... British accents are so much better than the American ;)
Someone... Actually.. knows the Isle Of Man... Haha, Fucking hell, Usually when i travel, And people ask where im from, I just say England because i cba exaplaining what the Isle Of Man is. Props to you :)
@Riggers Thanks :)
Can you speak Manx? I'd like to learn some Celtic languages, I think they are very interesting.
I do not be able to claim to speak it anywhere near as proficiently as i can speak English, but, i can have conversations in it and such.
Not too many people speak it here short of like, Farmers and stuff who live in the mountain area in the middle / north of the Island, Haha. All the roadsigns and government stuff has both the English and the Manx writen on them :)
@Riggers I see, cool, you have bilingual road signs. You don't have Manx classes is schools and colleges?
We do in school, when I was in college I never seen any courses going for it, though, i think there is like. Little "community workshop" thingies where enthusiasts help people learn it and such to preserve the history of it. (Unfortunately, it's a dying language, obviously English is much much much more useful to us so most people don't want to learn Manx).
Really don't give a damn if you don't like my accent!
I'm sorry!! It's not that I don't like the person in themselves! I just get mildly irritated by certain strong American accents! I don't know how to display what accent exactly it is that I dislike so I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!
Interesting. I'd like to see some of this myself.
I recommend it :)
I don't mind the American accent.
Fair enough :)
oof... what do you think of Canadians?
i like Canadian girls... love them
I LOVE Canadians ^_^ I love how every Canadian I have ever met is so polite it is unreal and they even say that in their country they are polite :3 I love Canada :)
aw, glad to hear it :)
So where’s best shepherd’s pie?
Hmm? The best shepherds pie most likely comes from farmer areas or grocery stores as they often sell them, but you can make your own as well and that is good too :)
Our family has a special recipe for our Shepherd pie :)
Nice article. I strongly dislike the royal family, but the article was pretty interesting.
Thank you and I am not fond of the royal family either, but there are some (Mostly the adults) who are very protective of the royal family :)
Are you really so bigoted that you think Americans (and other countries' people) don't have rules of "Don't use someone else's straw"; "Don't share a fork without permission"; and "No double dipping"?
I don't understand some of the thicker accents
Yeah, some strong accents just bother me, but American seems to be a trigger I guess :/
Just get a Scotsman drunk...
You forgot one: British guys are hot af
Really? Are we? *Surprised you think so but okay :)
