Example that combines British understatement and humour: Cassandra (pen name of a male columnist at the Daily Mirror pre and post World War 2) stopped writing his column when he joined the forces in the war. When he resumed in 1945 his first sentence in his first column was... "As I was saying when I was so rudely interrupted"......

A pub is a 'Public House'. They have a very comfortable homely feel. You can imagine sheltering from the rain & standing by the fire without feeling pressure to immediately buy a drink.

I can hear the collective disgusted groan from my compatriots as you say the words 'I didn't even know you could put milk in tea'. 🤣🤣🤣

I live in a village and my local pubs put water bowls out for the dogs, and one has doggie biscuits on the bar so dog owners can give their dogs a treat. Also some pubs have play areas in the garden so kids can play

By under estimation I think they are referring to the British habit of de-emphasising or downplaying things .It's similar to the stiff upper lip in many ways .We value things like not making a fuss and staying calm in a crisis so it follows that a British person may describe an all out fight as a bit of a scuffle .We might say it's a little chilly when it's -7 outside or say a toothache is rather annoying when it actually hurts like hell .If you are having an argument or discussion with a British person and they seem to be getting calmer and more logical it might mean they are positively seething ,a wooden expression with constant eye contact and very little verbal response is a cue to shut up before they attempt to kill you ;-)

I take my dog to the pub all the time, the landlord has treats behind the bar and they leave dog water bowls in the pub garden. He loves it, every time we walk past the pub, he tries to steer me in 😄

My nephew has been living in Canada for a while now. The definition of a pub has been something he struggled with when trying to explain that the “pub” his Canadian friends took him to was a bar. I think the definition he came up with helped his friends understand. He told them, a pub is more like visiting someone’s home. Usually carpeted with a couple of easy chairs by the fire, a bar doesn’t have that feel. The word Pub is after all a shortening of Public House, essentially a premises licensed to sell alcohol, a house open to the public. A good pub can be the hub and meeting place for locals to meet and relax in, without necessarily drinking booze, but most often it is to be fair.

Pubs are wonderful places to meet and socialise. Many pubs also have beer gardens where you can sit outside and enjoy a drink, but also take the children to play.

It's not underestimated its understateded. Just like Monty Python and the Holy Grail when he has his arm cut off and he calls it a flesh wound.

10:37 if you can imagine there being a venue cat that just sits around and interacts with the guests (or not), it's a pub. For that to happen, means there need to be comfy seats, lights not too bright but still well lit with windows, not too noisy, TV can be on but only one and not too loud, outdoor area usually present, regular customers who know each other and the staff well, that sort of thing.

Tea! The common question is 'how do you like your tea?' The common answer is 'builders' meaning a very strong tea.....

Tyler, just come to England and experience it for yourself but don’t just go to London, by all means go to London and then get out into the midlands and the north e.g, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and Scotland, don’t skip Wales cause I’ve never heard a bad word about it 👍🏾

American cheddar is one that comes to mind immediately. They often feed cows on a corn based diet so right away the milk tastes wrong to begin with, then they often add a yellow-orange dye that isn't flavourless. It's not not cheese of course but it's a wholly different thing to actual cheddar and I don't know why they give it the same name.

Until around the 17th century, Pubs or Public Houses as we know them were normally referred to Taverns . Also many of the larger pubs started out as Coaching Inns, offering food and a bed for the night.

A pub is someone's home, they open it and invite you to come in for some time and refreshments. A bar is a business, a place to sell refreshments. One is mostly a business where someone lives the other isa home where someone does business. It amounts to the same thing, but feels very different.

An example of British underplaying things can be seen in the phrase "Not too bad". When you are asked "How are you today?". Americans and Australians are quite likely to answer something like - Awesome, it's a great day, I am feeling awesome. Ask a Brit the same question and the answer is "Not too bad". This implies that although things could be worse, at this particular moment in time everything is ok, not too bad. "How did your exams go?" Even knowing you absolutely aced it, the answer is still "Not too bad". Olympic athletes, on being asked how did the race go?" Well I could have been last but I got on the podium so it was not too bad. "How was your flight?". We didn't crash and we landed at the correct airport, so ok, not too bad. In many ways this one phrase is ingrained in British culture, everybody uses it at some point.

Another British thing is a micro pub. My local micro pub allows well-behaved dogs. The landlord has treats behind the bar and bowls of water for dog by the bar. Children are also allowed in. Another rule the pub has is you have to put a £1 in the jar if your mobile phone goes off, where all of it goes to charity. The landlord also has a witty sense of humour. One of the local ciders is called "Dark cider" He wrote it on a blackboard as: "Dark Cider (the Moon) = Dark Side of the Moon

a pub is a place to chill and socialize, a bar is a place to get drunk and party. not that people don't get drunk from being at a pub, but the main purpose of them is just a place where the people who live around there to hang out with their families and friends

I went to a pub the other day which had a sign that said "Dogs are welcome as long as their owners are well behaved."

Teas have different flavours so when you find one that nice and strong you keep to it. There are a few fish and chip shops in America it's just finding them. Fish and chips were very cheap during ww2 so many people ate them so we kept it and nearly everyone loves them.

Try British beans they're nothing like American beans, they're savoury based upon tomato sauce... Americans dismiss beans on toast when they don't have British bread or British beans, the title is not the meal...

Always take my dog to the pub. They know his name and serve him first. Open fires can be found in a pub too. A pub is a community meeting spot in small villages. A bar is not for kids and opens on a nighttime.

Tea is literally ingrained into British culture we love it that much that during WW2 Churchill new we couldn’t win the war without it so he bought all the available surplus supplies of tea across the whole world and had it shipped to the British across the world the world

It's true about pubs being dog and child friendly during the day, normally it's a different atmosphere after 7pm and is normally adults only after that time. I often take my dog to the local pub, the staff give her treats, we eat food, chat and have a couple of drinks, it's common for strangers to come over to stroke the dog or say hi to her as they walk past

On the underplaying things - think Douglas Bader's comment on his WW2 plane crash. 'Bad show'. He lost both his legs. Or a guy in the SOE (undercover agents in France) saying that he thought the Germans might have some 'difficult questions' for him if they caught him alongside a British plane picking up downed airmen to take them home. Or today, when it's been raining for weeks, and you're out in torrential rain, and there are flood warnings everywhere - 'Bit damp, innit?'

when asked "how are you?" the most common answer tends to always be "Not too bad" or "I'm alright" - doesn't matter if they've just won the lottery or they've just found out they lost their job or their house has just burnt down - the key difference is how you say it "*sign* I'm alright" VS "I'm alright" VS *head nod* I'm Alright

14:17 yes it is. There are constant arguments over milk first or tea first, whether tea bags or loose leaf tea is better, etc. But one thing we all agree on is that you never microwave the tea.

Difference of Cottage and Shepherds Pie, is the meat associated with them, Cottage pie is mainly beef, while Shepherds pie is lamb or sheep. Both being made approximately the same, just the meats are different. Fry-ups equivalent is basically a Farmer's Breakfast. We have those here in Canada, and have at our Tim Hortons(not sure US) a Farmers Wrap, which is everything Fry-up in a Wrap add cheese is optional

I think that it is about time that you made a video where you follow instructions on making a proper British mug of tea, so you can see for yourself exactly what the big deal is. Can also guarantee that it would get a lot of engagement in the comments.

Tyler, just your innocent comment... 'I didn't know you could put milk in tea', highlights and sums up the vast void in the issue being discussed! With regards to a British or Irish pub, there is an 'essence', an unspoken, flexible friendliness (that accepts children and dogs) which usually only works when you go to the 'local' hostelry. By the way, in Scotland, Ireland and Wales the pubs are generally MUCH more dog friendly, with actual water bowls put out for them. And you 'did' almost nail what he was trying to convey (about underestimate), when saying Brits often 'downplay' or promise a little, but deliver a lot - versus the American 'we ARE the best' attitude.

True sarcasm is often not recognised by 95% of people. Sarcasm is often called the lowest form of whit,(because it can be seen as used to take the piss out of people that don't get it) but also the best. This is because it seems degrading to most but is truly, (if they even see it or think they get it) only appreciated by the few that truly understand it in its context of usage.

How quick you forget Tyler ! You learned about Mince pies just before Christmas 2022 ! You said they looked unusual !

I think the reason that brits are generally better at american accents than vice versa is because we have much more exposure to your accents than you do to ours.

Tea is everything to us, wakes you up in the morning, a drink to offer visitors and don't even think about employing a tradesman doing work in your house without a good stock of tea, milk, sugar and biscuits.

No, tea drinking in U.K. is massive. I like mine strong which is leaving the tea bag in with just a little milk and no sugar. Milky tea will go straight down the sink. Yuk!!!

Simple fact: A Cottage pie uses minced beef topped with potato. Shepherd's pie uses minced lamb topped with potato. Some sprinkle cheese on the potato or even sliced tomato or indeed both. The potato is sometimes piped on top of the minced meat to make it look pretty.

A pub is a public house. A community of people, and recreating it elsewhere is creating the place but not the people... That why pubs often don't work... Those that do are often themed specifically like Irish pubs frequented by the Irish wherever they are...

I do love America. Cracks me up. My first trip at the age of 17 was an eye opener. I upset a girl because I jovially called her a “silly cow”. Which is nothing in the UK, she thought I was making fun of her weight. She ran off crying and I couldn’t figure out what I’d done wrong until someone explained and I had to go and apologise 😂

The sarcasm of British humour is based on back handed compliments, or cheeky retorts, such as saying to a girl. "You're hair looks nice today" {then after she slightly blushes and thanks you for the compliment} the retort is. "Did you come on a motorbike"

Yes, tea is a big thing. Drinking one right now to start my day. Grew up with a Dad who will make another tea, offering to make another for everyone else as well, the moment he finishes the last one. By tea we mean a black tea (English Breakfast, Yorkshire Tea), with milk and optional to add sugar depending on your taste. What I've found in other places, especially America, when they say tea they mean herbal tea (camomile, mint, ginger ect.) Which we do have as well, but that would be something you had to say you didn't want normal tea, you'd like something herbal/fruity instead. Often Europe has the black teas but they don't tend to provide milk or sugar to have with them, so when you're in a hotel or cafe abroad it's common to have to ask for milk as well as your tea or you won't get it

You don't get table service in a pub! That's a restaurant... One exception a bar maid or small pub where they bring you your drink, but that's social not service orientated...

Dogs are certainly welcome in many British pubs. They enjoy meeting people (and other dogs!) just like their human owners! Some pubs have small play areas for kids inside too. So when you're at the pub having your relaxed Sunday Roast and the kids get a little bored they can go and play, but still be in sight of their parents. Pub staff will also often bring some crayons and outline pictures or cartoons that young kids can colour in so they don't get bored during a gathering / pub meal with friends or family.

You need to try Heinz baked beans it’s a taste sensation

Our humour is our secret weapon and mustn't be underestimated. Our ability to see the funny side of life has been part of our culture for eons. In medieval battles with the French we gave them the two fingers salute, Nelson put a telescope to his blind eye, saying I see no ships. We take the piss (micky) relentlessly. It winds up our opponents and Brits know they are finished when they become the but of our humour. Politicians and high profile people know that. The jokes that Harry's book the Spare has generated are brilliant.

Us English, sarcastic? Never! 😂

My previous visits to my family in Washington state I had to take my own Yorkshire tea. The stuff available in the states is like water. It was quite funny as everyone time another family member of the family visited I would make them tea with my teabags and they would love them. So I left the remaining teabags.

We need a video on what makes a pub a pub, or something that has interior pictures of both a pub and a bar.

The thing about table service in pubs is that you kind if have two types of pub here; pubs emphasising drinking sometimes without any food service bar maybe crisps and peanuts, and pubs which emphasise food and they will have a lot more seating, table service as well as a bar you can order at, and very nice food!

A fry up or full English breakfast is also often called a Full Monty.

You can take your dog into a lot of pubs. Especially ones in more rural places where people go out walking. It's not uncommon to see water bowls outside of pubs, signs saying dogs welcome or just to walk in and find a dog laying on the floor at the table next to you. Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb, Cottage Pie with beef. Think of a layer of mince and gravy topped by a layer of mash and that's basically what it is. There's variations where people may add veg in with the mince, some serve separately and some other things. Plain tea is a basic breakfast tea. I think there's more coffee drinkers now than ever but tea is still pretty central to our culture. I remember having fish and chips in Canada. The locals we were staying with who took us were so proud of them but they were almost inedible.

Pubs generally are more like community centres with regula customers, pub games (pool, sakittles, table football etc) most pubs sell food of some kind, there are family pubs where childen are welcomed. Cottage pie is made with minced beef and topped with mashed optatoes, while shepherds pie is of course made from minced shepherds - seriously it is made from minced lamb as teh main ingredient, both have onions, seasoning etc. Both made in shallow dishes with mashed potato topping, perhaps browned under the gril after baking in theoven.

My partner and I often take our son and dog to the pub for lunch or dinner. The best pubs feel like home comfortable warm and inviting.

Tea is black tea, boiling water, a seasoned teapot, never scrub out the inside, just rinse with scalding hot water. Put loose tea leaves in the pot, pour in bubbling boiled water. Wait for it to steep, use a strainer to catch the leaves as you pour. Leave enough room in the teacup "and saucer" for the cold milk or cream, this cools it a bit. Add sugar if you like it. Blow? on it if it's too hot, check it with the teaspoon, it's too uncooth to pour it in the saucer to cool it quicker like dad always did, then slurp it from there. There are other blends of tea, also green tea is different. Modern people use a mug and a tea-bag. There is a method to get the tea-bag out and stop it dripping, without making a mess. Some prefer honey and lemon in their tea. There is a mint version and fruit teas, also herbal, for medical therapies or personal choices. The Japanese use ground green tea, called matcha for their traditional tea ceremony. As an aussie from a big family, we got mum's shepherd's pie a lot. Yes she used beef mince rather than the real lamb or mutton. She also added peas, corn and carrots and possible chopped tomato to the "savoury mince." She mashed the boiled potato for the top, added butter and milk shaped the surface with a fork and only when I was a teen, would she be talked into adding grated cheese to brown on the top. Yes you may call it all wrong, but it was a great change from a tiny steak and boiled veg, boiled corned beef, onlons and cabbage, with white sauce or a dumpling stew. I had become onion intolerant= migraines, so no white sauce with onions. There were 9 folks in our house when school taught me cooking... so 4 serves, went no-where. Mum always managed to feed us, even if a lot was boring, like porridge all year long, per dad's dictates.

As a former devotee of American sitcoms (I haven't had a TV for years), I think the bar in 'Cheers' looked like a pub to me.

Comedy is one thing that isn't replicated well. Most of the classic UK comedy shows were recorded in front of a live audience, so the reactions you get are genuine. If the studio audience laughs at a certain point you can practically guarantee that the TV audience will as well. American comedies use too much canned laughter. It is almost like being told by the studio "This is funny, you will laugh now", and that is not how comedy works, so the laughter on a lot of US comedy shows comes across as false.

Great reaction Tyler. 🙂

In the UK, a bar is normally part of another business, such as an hotel or a theatre. A pub, on the other hand, IS the business. I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not they allow dogs in, serve food, have children's facilities or anything like that - as pubs existed long before any of these were common. Why don't you react to this, Tyler - then tell us how they differ from your experience of bars in the US? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJqRmpxe18fRZqc.html Yes, tea really is the go-to drink for most of us. We have coffee shops too, and even a few coffee snobs around who will only have the freshly ground and percolated variety - whereas most of us just settle for a jar of our favourite brand of instant coffee, as a stock item in our larders, as an alternative to tea! We have electric kettles - or the whistling variety designed for gas stoves, to boil up the water - for the water must be at boiling point before it is added to tea (usually bags nowadays, though some people prefer it in loose leaves), and teapots to make it in (as really, it should be left to steep for a few minutes with the lid and perhaps a tea-cosy on, to keep it hot, before serving - though we're probably all guilty of making it in a mug when we're alone, these days). A little of the boiling water should also be used to swill around and heat up the teapot, before any tea-making commences within it, by the way! Visitors are invariably offered a cup of tea (informally, the word 'cuppa' is often what is offered), and at any time of day or night! Likewise, tea is made in every crisis - even the police will do it if they have to tell a lone person their relative is dead. It is considered to be better for us than cold drinks in hot weather - though not everyone can be bothered to make it in such circumstances; and it is in our everyday language, such as having a "tea beak" halfway through our mornings at work etc, even if what we actually drink is coffee, or something else. It is generally cheaper than coffee, which probably helps explain its popularity. "Plain" tea is likely to be ordinary black tea - as opposed to a particular type, such as Earl Grey, Assam, Lapsang Souchong, etc., or the so-called fruit 'teas' that are taken by many as a naturally caffeine-free alternative. Milk and sugar are added to taste, as might be a slice of lemon, in the case of the more specialised types such as Earl Grey.

The word/term "Pub" is in the name, a pub is a "Public House", a pub has a bar in it, a bar on the other hand is not publicly accessible to all as seen with the references to taking children to the pub, also the definition states that "Pubs mostly have a large selection of just different kinds of beer, some wines, and cider. Because of its full menu, a pub generally allows minors if accompanied by an adult. Bars specialise in liquour rather than food and tend to offer a wide selection of cocktails, in addition to usual alcoholic beverages".

If you google a Wetherspoon, that's a example of a pub, and a few names of some bars we have here is Called Slug and Lettuce, or Be At One, two very popular bars in London. The Wetherspoo is also very popular and alot cheaper them a Bar to go into.

To picture a pub (PUBLIC HOUSE) in america .think of a 6 bedroomed house fully furnished..but the kitchen is a bar area.. all the other rooms with settees/couches easy chairs.coffee tables fitted carpet everywhere .nice drapes all around..really classy looking .. Each pub is competing for your business... definately not just a bar..

FYI bringing a dog in to the pub is very common indeed in the countryside. In fact my Dads best mate once rode his horse in to the pub but he got banned for a few weeks for that! Back then taking a shotgun in to the pub was common too. Only 30 - 40 years ago.

Shepherd’s Pie is a British dish of minced (ground) LAMB, onions, carrots, tomato purée, a large splash of Worcestershire sauce with creamed mashed potato on top. Cottage Pie is another British dish of minced BEEF, onions, carrots, garden peas, tomato purée, beef stock with creamed mashed potato on top

pubs are usually walking distance away from our homes, ie the local, like a kind of local living room for the neighbourhood, bars are the place we go to down town.

In a British pub it is almost unheard of to run a tab. Each round of drinks is paid for as you get it, so there is no need to wait for a bill when you are ready to leave. There are tables and chairs, but a lot of people prefer to stand while talking. The traditional pub atmosphere is dying out because many companies who run a chain of pubs are concentrating on serving food these days and making it seating throughout.

English breakfast tea....we need to send some of these thing Tyler! I couldn't care less has to be said with the British sarcasm!

With sarcasm you know it’s good when they don’t feel the barb going in until you twist the knife at the end

If you have an Aldi near you, buy some Welsh Tea bags and try them. One of the best cups of tea you’ll find. Pour boiling water on to the tea bag in your cup and let it stand for a minute or so, depending if you want a strong cup of tea or not, take out the tea bag and add a little milk . Too much milk ruins the flavour of the tea. aim for a mid tan colour x

The pub is usually the meeting place for all ages not just the young who are on a night out , my granddad would go every Sunday for a couple of pints with his neighbours for a chat and a laugh . When he passed away we had the wake in his local and the whole pub raised a glass to him .

Great video, ‘ popped the kettle on ‘ and had a nice cuppa while watching, of course with milk. !!!!

There was a program on tv called "very British problems" you should find it and do a video

I would describe a bar as large and part of a chain such as Wetherspoons, whereas a pub is smaller, and owned independently by an individual.

To be fair Renee Zellweger did a very good British accent in Bridget Jones films

I’m English and I am most definitely a coffee drinker. I only drink tea if it’s the only available option. Usually begrudgingly lol

Being from England with American family (my grandfather from the states was stationed here during Korean war) I find your videos very entertaining.

The bit about British Humour, reminds me of a comment from the actors talking about the film on one of the Lord of the Rings films, they stated that the American audiences noticed & clapped at the technically good bits, the British audiences noticed and laughed at the subtly humourous parts. The chips with Fish & Chips are more like your bigger & thicker Steak Fries and not the skinny formed potato sticks masquerading as French Fries.

Tea is a big thing. It's the drink that can cover all eventualities. We drink on average as a nation over 100 Millon cups a day

Pubs vary. You get the ones with fireplaces, might have rooms to let, meals available, beer gardens etc. You also get hard drinking boozers. Then there will be ones which fall in between, You really just get a sense of the type of place it is, . Then you get the social clubs although these are probably dying out now - they were tied to certain industries and provided recreation for their employees and families.

I refer to fry ups as full english which is more common. I call the same style dish with pancakes an American breakfast though its usually less varied in carbs

we call a fry up a full sunday roast that we dont dish out. its kept untill the following day then put into a frying pan and fryed in butter. try it you will love it with some apple sauce mmmmm nice

Public houses (Alehouse act 1828), open to all, inns or taverns, were considered socially superior to alehouses, beerhouses, and ginshops. Pubs used to have at least 2 bars which separated by class, often more. Public bar, working class, where drinks were a bit cheaper and the surroundings and clientele a little rougher, wooden floors & chairs, and women not banned but less likely to go Saloon bar more expensive, clientele typically older, better dressed, often couples, and the ambience was more refined with armchairs where you took the wife and might have button called table service. You also had Lounges, Vaults, Back bars, Ladies bars, Snugs In the massive refurbishment of the 1990s many Green Man & King's Heads were turned into Slug & Lettuces sweeping away these 18/19th century distinctions.

People do take their kids and dogs into pubs, can confirm. Some pubs even have bowls of water outside for when people want to sit out in the beer garden with their dog. When ordering food, pubs have kids menus and they are just a more relaxed atmosphere, the point is the social interaction rather than drinking, even if you can get a drink at a pub. Cottage Pie and Sheppard's Pie are basically the same thing. They are minced meat topped with mashed potato and then baked, the key difference between a Cottage Pie and Sheppard's Pie is the type of meat, with Cottage Pie being Cow (beef) and Sheppard's Pie being Sheep (lamb). The French have a similar dish called Hachis Parmentier. Public Transport in many places is often late, that isn't uniquely British, nor is rail replacement. I don't get that one, the thing Americans often get wrong in public transport is frequency, public transport needs to be frequent to be reliable, being on time is a luxury else wise.

It did make me chuckle that the photo of a "full breakfast" you used as an illustration is very obviously of a foreign attempt at a British fry-up and not a native original.

The best fish & chips I have ever had is from Fish on the Rocks in Hout Bay, Capetown.

A fry up is slang for a full english breakfast basically

A pub is a 'public house', homely and familiar. A bar is a commercial drinking venue, sometimes chic but never homely. Understating is fairly common in Britain. But Americans would day it is constant.

I'm British and there are lots of things America do well. I love their pancakes with bacon, maple syrup. Coffee is good. They make great pizza. And you can't beat watching a bit of friend's. They do amazing bbq. Pub's here in the UK often have pub gardens with area's for kids to play and yes you can often take you dog to a pub. Americans and brits are brought up very differently Americans are very blinkered and raised to believe they are the best at everything and come across as very arrogant whereas brits are raised to be humble, polite and considerate.

Pub is short for "Public house" traditionally a free standing or detached building containing a bar, a bistro and sometimes rooms are attached. In the past many families would gather in front of the fire in winter. Just like fantasy novels where travelers would get an ale an a feed and a room for the night.

American remakes are an odd thing. In the UK we grew up with British shows, American shows, Australian shows. And Australians all grew up with the classic British shows. But Americans always used to remake classic British shows and movies. Instead of just airing the originals. Because it was thought that Americans wouldn’t like a show, that wasn’t set in America and about Americans. There’s only a few that actually managed to make the cultural transition like the Office. But classics like the Inbetweeners were completely wrecked in the American remake and were quickly cancelled. While a lot of Americans are now getting into the original Inbetweeners. Even though it’s been 15 years after it first aired, and centres around the lives of British teenagers in school. It’s still relatable to them.

Have you tried baked beans to not like them Tyler? Because unless you do you wouldn’t know. As a health care worker I was always told to try what the clients eat and drink so that I would know what it tastes like. I had thickener in water and omg it’s the worse tasted like wallpaper paste but in fruit juice lovely.

Ive never laughed so much about your video posts it's been hilarious keep going ! We do say sorry to much even if someone knocks into you !sarcasm is in our nature well the people I know anyway best wishes from the north east of England and the rust bucket angel of the north bye

“I could care less” drives me wild! The same as “the proof is in the pudding”, “money is the root of all evil” “have their cake and eat it” AND, the latest one “happy belated birthday” just grate on me! I can’t understand when and why they were changed, when they were first uttered incorrectly and someone accepted them, was that person being polite? 😡 I know they’re only sayings, but when they’re not said correctly the meaning is changed!

I love Tea but times are changing and lots of people don`t drink it any more. I think Tea drinkers are still the majority but for how much longer I don`t know.

I went to Turkey, their British fry ups are good, they have achieved it, but not many other places have unfortunately, as you're missing out on a delicious breakfast. Shepherds pie is called that cause it has lamb, something that shepherds have a flock of, where as cottage pie has beef. You don't put milk in herbal tea, it's the traditional kind of tea, but yes tea is very important as to how we like it.

Have seen dogs in pubs, can confirm! Sometimes a cat but in the latter case it usually belongs to the owners. A dog in a pub could belong to a patron. Have heard tale of other animals in pubs too, a duck for example but not seen that in person.

This British chat show called The Graham Norton Show is fantastic! It is like a party. All the guests are on the couch together and have the alcoholic drink of their choice. Sometimes it can get a little silly! Here is the link to an older one with Henry Cavill and Amy Adams and others kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLxdYKyI2LqRdWg.html ❤️🇨🇦

The underestimation is things like: Seeing someone drop something & saying “you dropped that!” Or “didn’t want to do that, did you?” Passing a car accident and saying “you can’t park there...” Seeing a completely trashed car and saying “you can buff that out...” Or that friend who puts an entire bottle of ketchup on everything and someone says “do you want to put some ketchup on that?” Or that friend who’s an hour late (again) and says “sorry I’m a bit late” Oh and I’m British (English) and I DESPISE tea, don’t like coffee either!

Cottage Pie is a baked dish that consists of beef mince topped by mashed potato. Shepherd’s Pie is the same except instead of beef you use lamb mince.

Every household in the British isles will have tea and sometimes coffee! Read is always served with milk and sugar, rarely taken without milk👍👍

An example of underestimation. Imagine a British person watching an American weather forecast in winter. Headlines such as 'MASSIVE LAKE-EFFECT SNOW EVENT' and 'MONSTER SNOWSTORM' etc all over it. A Brit might raise an eyebrow in mild fascination and remark, "Better put on a scarf tomorrow..." I think this might have a link to two phrases in British life, namely 'mustn't grumble' and the oft-seen war quote 'Keep Calm And Carry On'. And football/soccer chants. America is so far behind the UK on this. It's cringe. See King Boomer's videos (language warning) on this.

We have been taught that a pub serves food and drinks while a bar only serves drinks
