After reading these, I realized that I still don't know enough about the UK as a nation of comedians...

About the British, if you just know the English afternoon tea, English breakfast, but do not know the British queue almost into obsessive-compulsive disorder, habitually drilling pubs, but also often say sorry to the wrong people, then you really do not really understand this teasing national... To see what they have unique British temperament 吧

① talk about the weather

weather, this is the most British characteristics of the most things, sometimes one second is still sunny, the next second on the pouring rain. In the UK, there are about four days of hot weather in the summer, which is good for sunbathing in a bikini; and in the winter, there is a devilish wind that blows from time to time, so you can measure your weight. Publisher Little Brown surveyed 2,000 Brits about their opinions, and it's no surprise that talking about the weather was at the top of the list, with 65% saying it was the one thing they were more passionate about.

Usually the conversation goes something like this: "Good afternoon, it's a nice day". It's raining, and then it's just a bad day.

② Fish and chips

When you think of food, you think of British dark cuisine, or great desserts. But in the UK, the most iconic food is fish and chips, well, about 59% of the British people have eaten fish and chips. About the origin of this British national dish, it is said that in the 19th century, there are many workers in Britain, they consume a lot of physical strength every day, they want a kind of high-calorie, cheap and fast food, so fish chips

To be honest, I once ate in Brighton, the amount of time is very sufficient, but the taste is well, it is not the type I like. However, you can try Poppies Fish and Chips (6-8 Hanbury St, London E1 6QR), which has also won a food award.

③ Roast beef

It's said that in the UK, if you don't have a roast beef with Yorkshire pudding on a Sunday, you've wasted your weekend.

④ Drinking tea

49% of Britons feel that drinking tea is an innate way of life, and many people like to call dinner time teatime. It is said that the British habit of drinking tea originated in the early industrial revolution, when the water supply was polluted, some people found that drinking tea can reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, and then the habit of drinking tea was slowly developed. Some data show that each person in the UK to drink an average of 3 cups of black tea per day, a year down, each person consumes about 5 pounds of tea! Awesome ~

⑤ Queuing

In the rotten country, the supermarket queue, take the bus queue, even if it is a Wimbledon game tickets have to queue. However, this queuing compulsion, is also the performance of the British spirit of humility and fair competition, after the survey, 91% of the British people are firmly opposed to queue jam (queue jump), even if there are only two people, sorry, trouble you row down the queue.

⑥ Say sorry

For the British, even if it is unintentionally bumped into by others, the British will first apologize to the other side, there is a kind of sorry for blocking your way. I've heard that the average British person says sorry eight times a day, and the average number of times they say sorry in a lifetime is more than 1.9 million times, so the baby is shocked.

⑦ Tavern

Whether it's a pompous city pub or a tavern hidden in the village, 45% of Brits love to go to the pub. If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain. Reasons to go to the pub? Here to summarize: life is too depressing, go to the pub to have a drink; today is very happy, go to the pub to have a drink; the weather is good, go to the pub to have a drink.

⑧ English Breakfast

What to eat for breakfast after a hangover? Come to an authentic English breakfast, because the English breakfast contains a lot of cholesterol and calories, after eating let you immediately full of blood. Bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, bread, baked beans (the British people on this kind of beans honey like), lack of one can not be regarded as a full set of English breakfast.

⑨ Motto

Britain's most iconic motto is: keep calm and carry on, well, no matter what kind of trouble you're in, keep calm.

⑩ Patriotic

No matter where you live, patriotism and arrogance are the most important things that the British people can not throw away. British writer George Bernard Shaw once said: Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

? Humor

34% of Brits have humor attached to them, and humor has long been a part of British culture, especially when it comes to self-loathing, which can be hard to get a hold of sometimes. But it's okay, remember one thing, don't take it too seriously, you'll lose if you do.

? British accent

British people in other countries, very much like to deliberately show off their accent, but, can not deny that the British accent is with so much elegance. Although it's relatively more natural than the American accent, the British accent does sound a little sexier.

? Gardening

Thirty percent of Brits love to garden, and many parts of the UK hold gardening competitions from time to time. Well, gardening is something that requires a garden, and the UK has no shortage of gardens.

? Afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is the product of the 17th century, when the British upper class ate a hearty breakfast, but lunch is relatively simple, dinner is generally to start at 8:00 p.m., so many people in the United Kingdom in the afternoon at 4:00 p.m. on the sense of hunger, which will need to give themselves a meal or something, and then there is the afternoon tea. This habit can continue to this day, but also enough to show that it is in the hearts of the British.
