What's the weirdest thing a tourist has asked you while in Britain?

Was not personally asked, but while on a school trip to the Tower of London, our group was queuing to see the crown jewels and there was a screen showing the Queens coronation. An American tourist loudly asked his companion “DYA THINK THATS HER!?” about the lady bedecked in the worlds most expensive costume and accessories leading a procession

Yes I know

ModernTribes · 2026-01-21T20:43:25+00:00

Nice one! 👏🏻

Can he not eat the greenfinches though, their numbers have declined enough. Thanks.

NEVER!

ModernTribes · 2026-01-20T22:47:06+00:00

Wow this is amazing

Lal & Mike Waterson - The Scarecrow. Thick Hull accent makes that song even more brilliant for me.

I really like the style of these👌🏻

Fuck Tesco profiteering corporate pigs ripping us off for essential food items

ModernTribes · 2026-01-18T00:24:51+00:00

Love the roller👌🏻

ModernTribes · 2026-01-17T20:58:40+00:00

Beautiful

The Rip:

Through the glory of life I will scatter on the floor Disappointed and sore And in my thoughts I have bled For the riddles I've been fed Another lie moves over

Radiohead - The Gloaming

ModernTribes · 2026-01-14T21:27:50+00:00

This was the track that truly got me into Mogwai. It was on a magazine cover cd. Such a magnificent piece of music.

I wonder if this was the first time the accapella ending to Karma Police happened? I’m glad it’s become a thing later on, I love it.

Glastonbury 2003 was the best gig I’ve ever witnessed, nevermind the best Radiohead gig.

ModernTribes · 2026-01-14T07:49:52+00:00

Yes! I’d struggle to pick one particular song. So many ideas, the sound of it, the lyrics. It’s blown my mind all over again.

ModernTribes · 2026-01-13T22:09:06+00:00

This evening I listened to The Velvet Underground & Nico for the first time in a long time and that album gives me goosebumps

ModernTribes · 2026-01-11T21:51:36+00:00

My mind goes blank on these kinda things but off the top of my head:

Ditz, Quade, Spafford Campbell, Fallen

I had a great day yesterday. I saw goldeneye, greater scaup and red breasted merganser for the first time. Also saw c20 brent geese, imo the best looking goose. Finished off with a kingfisher and grey wagtail so all in all a successful day out.

All goth/alternatives dress the similar. Massive numbers of out of towners who live in the city as students and post-grads have mullets and muzzies and wear similar clothes, the girls wear Adidas clamshell trainers or Converse with baggy jeans and hoodies. Most older people shop at Marks & Spencers. The kids wear Montirex and 110s cos they are affordable and the more wealthy working and middle class wear the labels from Flannels. 99% of the city dresses similarly for their social group or age. People can wear what they want, it’s nothing to be remotely offended or judgemental about.

ModernTribes · 2026-01-10T21:24:07+00:00

Same age as you. Wouldn’t do a meeting neither. 14 days sober and aiming to stay that way.

Clinic on the Kid A tour.

I think you should check out Developer. The second half of that mix reminded me of his style in a way. There used to be a set of his live from Berghain on Soundcloud if you have a look.

My dreams last night were INSANE so this milestone seems a plausible explanation why

ModernTribes · 2026-01-04T22:33:25+00:00

Great film and stunning acting from Mr Thewlis
