  tally ho!

  i thought it might be jolly nice to have a thread that dispels the myths about each others cultures.

  so from little britain i hope y'all respond and we can turn this into a nice chat.

  British people still wear bowler hats.... only in films and for fancy dress

  They like to say "wot?"....." you wot!?!" yes and our mothers always respond by saying " don't say what say pardon!"

  They drink tea all the time.....hmmm ok yes

  They eat crumpets (whatever that is) with their tea..... if you havn't tried crumpets you havn't lived! necter pure necter!

  Fish and chips are the only things to eat for dinner.... rubbish what about toad in the hole? Bubble and squeak? shepards pie? theres loads!

  The sun never shines in England. It always rains... dos occasionaly shine, but normaly only when your couped up in a boiling hot satium trying to listen to a convention of JW's!

  British people have bad teeth.... totaly twaddle! i spent most of my childhood in braces and now have excellent teeth.

  British woman like to run around topless (Benny Hill shows)... yes but you get arrested... have to go to france for that me dear;)

  "Wanker" is a fun word to say over and over.... yes it is, as is "bloody" which has somehow become a "non swear word" if you know what i mean?

  Some streets are cobbled, they look good but realy hurt to walk on, and in the rain are like ice rinks!

  We do say "sorry" and "pardon" about everything and anything, no idea why??? sorry... pardon me i don't know;)

  and you can't beat a nice cuppa!

  Is internet dating for losers?

  after almost a year of internet dating on various sites, i've concluded that it's not the place for me to meet the man of my dreams.

  anyway, i'm happy i've given it a shot and i've gained lots of experience and even made a few male friends.

  anyone here who's had better luck?.

  no just that worldly men are frighteningly upfront about it in every way. BTW i'm single again for this very reason:(

  The english are a very diverse culture, most typical sterotypes of them are just that, sterotypes. I never say jolly good, and rarely have fish and chips as its very fattening and i have a figure to maintain.

  for brit ex pats: is there anything you miss about dear old Blighty?

  by highdose in

  its taken the better part of a year but i'm finaly having pangs of homesickness... it all started when i saw a red london bus ( they use it around here for tourist tours) .. got worse when i went to a out door ex pat event, were it suddenly poured with rain, it was amazing to see the blitz spirt come out!

  the locals packed up and left but the brits started singing ( " i'm singing in the rain!

  ") handing out free wine and chips, almost like a party really, everyone was so happy... and you could see the locals looking at them as if to say " you british werdios!".

  hey everyone, i'm in need of help!.

  it would seem its ant season and even though my apartment is on the 5th floor, the ants have made it all the way!

  i've asked the locals for advice and all i get told is to blast them with as many chemicals as i can get my hands on.

  I'm not keen on floppy eared charles, i think hes an embarssament, William... too young, Harry... now that would be interesting! haha! I personaly think that Zara Philips would be good ( the daughter of princess margaret) she seems like a sensible down to earth girl. Aparatently she even speaks in a cockney accent too! That would certainly make an interesting christmas message...
