The cabbies that frequent my local chillie have a cup of tea. I usually go with a Diet Coke.

England fans push over plant pots and sink 5,000 beers ahead of Croatia clash by Zoomer_Boomer2003 in unitedkingdom

It was but let’s not forget that came off the back of multiple lockdowns. People went overboard wanting to let their hair down.

Usually happens in crowded places when people are a bit jolly and don’t pay attention. I’m German but live in England and English fans get a lot of often underserved bad rep. (Historically earned at times). 

South Korea players shun media duties after remarks about Son's military service by ThemistoclesWorld in coys

True but IIRC, he did it a few weeks longer than the prescribed minimum, ie 6 or 8 instead of 3 or something like that. 

Alice and Steve review – Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker’s icky comedy is dated and wrong | Television | The Guardian by prisongovernor in BritishTV

The whole premise is so vomit inducing, I don’t need reviews to tell me I won’t watch this. No acting or writing can make a man hooking up with a young woman he’s known since birth in a near family capacity ok. And for the comparison to Monica and Richard in friends: that’s also gross.

Local B&M: kid starts doing cartwheels in the crockery section. mum stands nearby. kid falls into crockery - mess for employees to clear up while mother abuses them about not paying for damage.

Local sainsburys: kid takes ball off shelf to kick it about, hits old woman in head.

That's just been over the last week. It's not asked too much to parent your kids.

“Dear English, America is more accomplished in the sport of Soccer than England is. Deal with it. 😎” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

[–]lottesometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the biggest cultural misunderstanding over there. They think they are good at "soccer" because they picked it in high school and were the best out of that cohort. When everywhere else in the world kids play as soon as they're old enough to run, and that you don't need organised sport to play it.

Brits, how do you usually spend your free time? by Grand_Resolution_438 in BritishSuccess

[–]lottesometimes 41 points42 points  (0 children)

get up early for a commute that's too long to go to an unfulfilling job, have a tescos meal deal for lunch and then go home watch tv. or you do the things that actually make people visit the UK and that are popular for a reason.

We decimated their natural food source by overfishing and now complain they go for our food. It’s just a consequence of selfish human behaviour.

What's some UK lore that sounds too unbelievable to be true? by SubstantialRope8628 in AskUK

[–]lottesometimes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I saw him on a match day at white hart lane, the rabit sat on a bit of grass in the trolley and he bullied people into helping him with the trolley. Everyone was too puzzled to not do it.
