Top Ten Strange Things British People Say and Do
My comments towards our American friends has been brought into question, so...it's only fair that I balance things out by naming some very odd things the Brits do and say. Many of which would laugh at this list. But then we know how to laugh at ourselves ;PThe Top Ten
1 Drink piping hot tea on the hottest days of the year
S'awright, Beege. We do the same thing with coffee.
2 Saying "b*****ks means something is bad but saying "the dog's b*****ks" means something is outrageously good
Oh poop. V, I'm never trying subtly again! You saw right through my sledgehammer approach to find out what you look like. You are a gentleman of great mystery - at least I know that much :).
Oh, Toto... I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
3 Apologise to someone who has crushed our feet under their shopping trolley
I guess nobody actually means it.
4 Putting chips (fries) between two buttered pieces of bread and calling it a "chip sarnie"

I'm coming to meet you, V. (I need to see what you store in your garage) Knowing you it would be something quite unexpected :).

I wasn't referring to adults (well, maybe some...)
7 Watering garden plants in the rain
