Hi there friends!
I've got another video about BRITISH CULTURE here for you lovely people! I just LOVED making this! Some of these facts I found out recently when doing research for this video - but some I already loved and have known about for a while! Learning about the culture at the same time as learning English is the best way to learn a language! Trust me and it's also more fun too! Really hope you enjoy it - let me know in the comments which fact is your favourite!

Toad in the Hole is also delicious with mashed potatoes and gravy. Or with chips, mushy peas, and gravy. I was surprised that Tikka Masala is now our national dish. Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned roast dinner, or pie and mash? LOL! Pie and mash is my ultimate comfort food. Yummy! And another funny fact: We call our evening meal tea instead of dinner. So, if someone says, "I'm going home for my tea," they're not saying that they're going home to have a drink of tea. They're saying that they're going home to have their dinner or evening meal.

Wow, what English people call their meals is a quagmire! "Look Around You" did a hilarious sketch about it in their Series 2 episode about food. The way I understand it, "dinner" is your biggest meal of the day. So some people have their dinner at lunchtime, and some people have their dinner at suppertime.

Thank you so much Katharine, for reporting and teaching me on the Welsh road signs . I still remember the incomprehensible and funny Welsh language , haha, when I visited Wales - and the image of the Red Dragon (is their province flag ?) , which brings back good old memories. In Holland we have such a province as well , called Friesland , rather bi-lingual ( bilingual), with the ancient ,small scale , but still current and alive Frysian language , which has overlap with / is similar to the Charles Dicken's style old English .❤

Hello, I am from Malaysia. Speaking English with British accent is something beautiful. Our Malaysian English is based to British English standard for all schools and higher education institutions. But, for everyday spoken English, it is mixing little bit with local languages such as Malay, Chinese, Indian and others. Similar to Britain, tea with milk is everyday popular drinks for Malaysian. We called it "Teh Tarik", a creamy tea with a skillfull preparation.

Interestingly, the dish Americans call "toad-in-the-hole" is a thick slice of toast with a hole cut in the middle, put into a frying pan, and an egg cracked into the hole to cook. It's okay, but I prefer our version, with brown gravy & peas.

In Spain, as you have just said, there is a yearly tomato fight day. It takes place in a village called Bunyol or Buñol, Valencia. Its name is "La Tomatina". It isn't an old tradition but a fairly new one.
