Years ago when using fine china the cups would possibly crack if the hot water was poured in first. If the milk was put in first the hot water would initially be warm when poured letting the fine china get used to the heat as it was filling up.

A group of people have just been given some absolutely, life changing, devastating news

The giants of Charlton play hosts to the titans of Ipswich making them both seem normal sized!

anyone else get more infuriated than they should when they say asked instead of arsed

timeforsomegoodnews@reddit

Yeah, just a quiet pint though

(Driver) Sorry, you first

No it's ok, you go

One side one last waltz and then I have to go

Cool! I was just being Britishly (not an actual word, that) pedantic.

I'm 6 foot tall, get my milk delivered by the pint, drive 70 miles an hour (honest guv) on the motorway and people are weighed in stones. But, I'm still able to be smug about the US not using the metric system.

As a US American, I am 7 foot tall, we buy milk by the gallon(not the same gallon as your), we interchangeably, and for no apparent reason, we say interstate, highway, freeway; our weight is in pounds and if I’m not mistaken, you guys created that, right?; You’ve also got hectares we got acres, but you do use square meters versus our square feet or yards. Our football aside from the obvious problems with the sport in the Word, is played on a field not a pitch. But you know that.

You are never too old for netball and it's just like basketball ball only better, with more finesse and you can't bounce the ball more than once (as part of a 'bounce pass') I was goal keeper for my junior school team (...b...team) and went on to basically not play it very much at all...

I drink Tea, lots of lovely Tea.

Sure, I’ll just join this queue to take my turn convincing you.

Apologise to the guy that just walked into you spilling your drink.

Stand for ages holding a door open for a stream of folk ignoring you.

Ask someone if they are “All reet cock?”

Mention “our kid” for siblings but use “Mate” and “Pal” talking to people you’ve never met before.

Ask someone in the US if they’ve got a fag. Actually did something similar, saying to another Brit “can I bm a fg?” as they were lighting up. Got some raised eyebrows….

I’m a Brit.

Technically I didn’t physically say it.

I have 58 varieties of tea? ...but in all fairness, this is an inherited compulsive tendency from my Canadian grandmother (but also in fairness she was the most English person I've ever, ever met in my life and she's never stepped foot in England)...

I dunno if it counts, but I have a lot of tea.

You can tell a Brit who grew up in the 80s by saying “it’s too orangey for Crows…”

I was in my feelings about anticipating and recognising every comment here after only 16 years in the UK. (Ofc I'm not allowed to "be British" yet, self imposed /lkjk)
