    There was a vine I saw that summed it up nicely.

    It was a guy in the shower, showing that Brits are normal.

    Step 1 turn on the water
    Step 2 get under the water
    Step 3 get your tea bags....

    For serious though. Bad teeth

    that can't be. I'm not saying they all have bad teeth but i am from Serbia and most of Eastern Europeans have pretty great teeth.
    Our secret is super cheap & high quality dental care!

    OECD report ranks UK and Germany as best teeth. The U.S. isn't in the top 10, like 15th.

    Which is hard to believe if you ever saw one of the UK versions of jerry springer shows. With people with teeth that look more like a scifi desert creature that rests at the bottom of a hole with its mouth open waiting for prey.

    As someone who lives in England but who's not English:
    *Great dry, sarcastic humour
    *Queues for no apparent reason
    *Passionate about FOOTBALL not soccer
    *Obsessed about the weather
    *Looks at you like a weirdo if you try to strike up a conversation on the underground
    *Gets infuriated if you stand on the wrong side of the escalator
    *Insults you in ingenious ways, you might even be flattered, until you Google it
    *very polite

    Fully agree, however we queue because it is quintessentially correct!

    I am from Nottingham the home of Robin Hood :) where all of the above is correct except for the escalator.

    Emmets

    Interesting, please expand, do you mean a Cornish emmet which is how they describe tourists or just non Cornish people?
    An English emmet, which is an ant?
    Or what about an Irish Emmet, which is how they describe people they particularly dislike in Southern Ireland?
