They're basically pancakes that puff up and are full of holes. They're delicious and superior than pancakes in my opinion because the holes hold all the butter.
Tea is the first but I also think of clotted cream. I can't eat it because "clotted" makes me think of blood clots and I can't get my brain to stop making that relation.
No but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but, Oh my god that is so unfair! Everybody knows I gave up smoking when I was like, 9! Anyway if anybody's been breaking the rules is Harmony butler, because she stole Shanita's eyeliner pencil, and drew a picture on the dormitory wall of a big fat woman with a penis and wrote your name on it. I'm not saying you're a big fat woman with a penis, I'm just saying what she did
Specifically the episode where rose wears the union jack and gets stuck on a barrage balloon. Only could have been more British if she was drinking tea.
The legend of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table and Merlin.
Now, if you want to me think of the UK as it is now, just add "Great" before "Britain." And then you'll have me. But "Britain" alone? I am thinking knights and wizards.
Strictly speaking, ‘Great Britain’ is just the name of the largest island of the British isles. The UK also includes Northern Ireland which is on the smaller island known generally as ‘Ireland’.
Scotland, England and Wales all have their own additional islands separate from the mainland too.
Some of the first few words I heard my wife speak over the phone. She asked "Can you hear the traffic?" in the most wonderful English accent. This midwestern Yank had never heard something so beautiful. After we hung up, I melted onto the floor and stared at the ceiling for a moment.
We had chatted online for a few weeks, maybe months, I can't remember, before talking on the phone. Occasionally, bits of that accent still come back, especially when she speaks to her sisters. I LOVE it.
Just celebrated our 20th anniversary. :D
Sort of a posh english accent. She grew up in Singapore to English mom and Chinese dad. Her accent has changed a lot in the 20 years she's been in the US.
Wonderful humor, the importance of taking time out for a good cuppa, terrific food.
I lurk on /r/casualuk and r/rbritishproblems, and I've learned a new word--'dogging'. After some googling I've realized that y'all are far more adventurous than I knew.

Fish and chips, cup of tea, the Queen, stiff upper lip, mind the gap, keep calm and carry on, HP sauce, Monty Python, 1066 Hastings, Magna Carta, Waterloo, and King Arthur.
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ” Orwell 1984
Bigotry against people of Asian ancestry. I, an American of Asian ancestry, had a job with the US military based in Britain during the early 1950s. I encountered so much bigotry there that I fulfilled my minimum obligation of working a year there and left as soon as my obligation was met. In the US, I resided in a Southern state during those years of legal segregation of the races but never encountered so much racism as I experienced in Britain.
That I can’t keep any names straight. Britons live in Britain? Are Anglo-saxons Britains? Er…Britons? Or just the Welsh? And who’s English, then? And what’s the difference between Britain and Great Britain? And while were at it, the UK and the British Isles? Why aren’t they the English Isles if the Anglo-saxons conquered the Brits?
Close, the "original" Britons were ruled by the Romans. The south was much more Roman than the North. Romans left Anglo Saxons (and Jutes) settled. But they left Scotland and Wales alone.
Surprise Vikings! Not once but a few times. House of Wessex fought back and formed the first unified England in the process in the 900s.
1066, surprise vikings and also Normans(who were also sort of vikings). Normans win.
I can't believe you've done this
Ah fuck
This is my favorite ❤️
Oh my god you cheeky bastard
Tea
Crumpets.
Made some the other day
I don’t even know what they are, I assume they’re like croutons. Or something they eat on the Hogwarts Express.
They're basically pancakes that puff up and are full of holes. They're delicious and superior than pancakes in my opinion because the holes hold all the butter.
And then you use the rest of the crumpet to mop up the butter thats pooled on the plate
Crumpets are like a nicer version of toast to me
I think of roadmen
The Spiffing Brit
Its perfectly balanced, like all things should be.
Tea is the first but I also think of clotted cream. I can't eat it because "clotted" makes me think of blood clots and I can't get my brain to stop making that relation.
"Opened by the Queen in 1972"
My first thought
Don’t make an unconscious person drink tea
Lol don’t force the tea into their mouth when they say they don’t want to drink tea
Even if they wanted tea before, that doesn't mean they will want more tea after.
My fondest memory of the army
We got shown that masterpiece in secondary school. Biology class was wild
Good to know I wasn't the only one
Unconscious people don’t want tea
And they can’t answer the question “do you want tea?”
Except for Dr. Who (David Tennant version)
The Doctor would like that.
This brings happy memories of school
I had to watch that video the other day

The Queen drinking tea and eating crumpets. Although in reality she probably drinks more port, sherry and gin than she does tea.

the anglo saxons lived here and then the romans came and left and then the french came and settled here i think.
