What should you never say to a British person?

[JustMeL120]

I noticed a couple of things you should never say to a British person. Including Megan and harry are good people. Royalty is waist of money. Milk in tea is gross. The NHS service is the worst in Europe. Immigrant are humain being who deserve a chance in life. Has everyone else noticed anything to has angered a British person.

[purplepoppy]

Non of those things would offend most people, after all we argue about those things all the time. The British love to moan about stuff as any Aussie will confirm.

But I'd not recommend;

Assuming everyone lives in London
Saying "Dundee, is that in London?"
Anything to do with Brexit
Asking why it's called "Great"
The whole what's difference between UK and GB thing unless you've an hour to spare.
The whole are the 4 countries actually countries or is uk the country or is it GB
Why is everyone in wales called Jones, are they related?
Ooh you live in Birmingham, do you know a guy called..
I'd love to try a greggs steak and kidney pie
Do not attempt any of the accents.

[JustMeL120]

I love the Birmingham part because it's so true.

It's a buzzfed article that I found funny and I'm from the UK 😂

[goaded]

I met a welshman and a scot at a baseball game (match?); the American I was with didn't understand a word we were saying.

There's a whole bunch of clips on "Things not to say to..." here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05q8ght/clips

"Before you criticize our way of doing things, make sure you understand that the fact you've always done it a different way doesn't make it right. That's why you lost the war."

When he looked at me quizzically and said "what war?" I pulled a dollar out of my wallet and said "That look like the f'ing queen to you?"

That got me kicked out of a British compound once. I'm not sure which part specifically.

[JustMeL120]

Lol I think I kind of get the joke.

[Anonymous]

Huh? 'Aht'? 'Lift?' 'Telly'? What'chu speakin'? This is 'Murica. Speak right!

Where you from anyway? Eggland? Where's that? France? We don't need anymore of those stupid French with their tea and biscuits 'round here.

Why don't you skedaddle till you can learn some proper English?

[JustMeL120]

Lol 🤣😂🤣 typical angry British example.

[Billlewis]

Discussing anything political with them is a waste of time, unless you happen to be very leftist minded yourself, because they're even further to the left than we are, as hard as that is to imagine.

[JustMeL120]

They don't understand there own polics. But at least they are happy. To be honest the British government or who ever is making money from the British government doesn't care who is at power. They will find a way to manipulate it. As for rishi sunak he is a genius British people can't see that and it's scary.

[chicken_nugget24]

@justmel120 I can see that and it is scary

[TonyMetal___86]

Why would they be angry? I respect their traditions just like any country's traditions but about milk in tea, it's a matter of taste and idc what they think cause it's really gross for me

[JustMeL120]

Trust they get angry if you don't make tea properly and dunk you biscuit in it.

[TonyMetal___86]

If they don't like my tea than they can make their own goddamn tea 😏

[JustMeL120]

Lol try say that to them next time you come to the UK. Dont forget to take the swirl the tea bag for 5 second and take it out. Before you put the milk it in.

[TonyMetal___86]

No thanks, i have British friends and i say whatever i like in front of them and they just smile or laugh and that's all, i remember once i talked sh*t about the late queen elizabeth and the British girl did nothing, she tried to explain to me about their royal dynasty...
Their are people who gets angry for silly things everywhere and anywhere...

[Ptrmbrs88]

Why do you want to upset British people? By the way, tea needs milk in it in order for it to taste good. Without it it's horrible. It needs sugar as well.

[JustMeL120]

I don't want to upset British people but I am just staytibg what I know makes them angry. When we talk badly about their health care system which by the way is the worst in Europe according to statistics they go mad. They even started banging pans in the streets to celebrate the NHS during covid. Which people are now trying to sue for covid vaccine and so many other things. As long as they are happy that all that matters.

[Cubus]

You're less important than USA, because your population is like 5 times smaller.

[JustMeL120]

Noone is more important. we are human on this earth that we share trying to make the best of our life until we die.

[Cubus]

*less important as a country

[JustMeL120]

No country is important.

[Cubus]

It is in geopolitics

[JustMeL120]

Politics is based on bullshit

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Bagpipe music is bloody awful.
England and Britain is the same ruddy thing.

[JustMeL120]

Bagpipe music is nice. I love the Scottish culture.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Same here, mate!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

By the way, if royalty ain’t a waste of time, why is it so useful/necessary?

[JustMeL120]

Royalty is important to the British as it is the only culture they have. If he goesall the have left is NHS and cups of tea

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Bloody Hell! What’s the ruddy use? I understand that King has the power to declare war (hope he doesn’t), but it’s getting too far! There are many poor people; why can’t the royalty give the gelt to them, and get a decent job, if they have none?

[AngryCarl2]

Don't talk about soccer. It's called football and it's replaced religion.

[AngryCarl2]

Actually I agree with everything you said except the milk in tea. And I prefer coffee anyway.

[AngryCarl2]

Oh, and royalty actually bring in more money than they cost. It's easy to forget that.

[JustMeL120]

Bring in to the country but not to the people. Some people are very poor in Britain. The tourism money definitely doesn't go to them.

[chicken_nugget24]

@JustMwl120 yes that's true. Around 13.9 million of us are in poverty

[Anonymous]

Most of them don't like it when you call them guv'nor. But I don't know if it's the actual world or if it's just me saying it.

[Jennz6]

I’m not really sure

[OddBeMe]

Bad grammar.

[JustMeL120]

Yea that also angers British people. Indeed bad grammar lol

[EaterPeter]

Thats rubbish?
