Topic	American sparks debate by listing 'weirdest' things about UK
wwinterj25 02/08/21 12:13:15 AM #1:	An American woman named Jessica Rose has sparked heated debate on Twitter after posting a list of the strangest things she's noticed about living in the UK since moving here 10 years ago. "Please why beans on toast there are so many other lazy foods that are actually good why is this a thing?" Nothing wrong with baked beans on toast with cheese. It's tasty. "People here put fish fingers (yes they mean fish sticks but Im fine w the name part) in sandwiches which is just...why." Again this is tasty. Add some Ketchup on it with butter. "British beaches are often just banks of sharp stones by the water and people here excitedly go to them on purpose, When you get there you can buy disappointing candy sticks called rock and seagulls will fight you." Plenty of soft sand on our beaches. Plus Donkeys and the Sea. Rock is nice too. I will agree the seagulls hate you but I've never had any major issue. "If there is a mistake at a coffee shop or restaurant British people will complain to everyone but the people who could fix the issue and if asked by those people will report that everything is fine." Not sure where she's got this from. People love to complain over here! "On getting off a bus saying thank you to the driver is optional until the person leaving in front of you says thank you. Then you are legally required to say it. So is everyone behind you." Not really. I say thanks most the time just because it's nice to do so. The drivers thank me too. Apparently having manners is strange. "If you mention a weird dream or nightmare, Britishes will ask if you ate a lot of cheese before going to bed." I hear cheese gives you nightmares. "People get full-on arguing mad about the order you assemble breakfast items (when you put milk in when making tea or what you put first on a scone) and it does not matter at all." Blasphemy! How one takes their tea is important. "I think American tipping culture is a lot for British folks to cope with and tipping being much simpler in the UK is also a nice change." It certainly isn't as much of a thing over here. --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj - https://imgur.com/YvP6isz <cite>wwinterj25 posted [p:950402718] in American s...
