Politeness, strength in the face of adversity! Whinging it's too cold, whinging it's too hot, sense of humour about the self
Loads of negative stuff I'm sure but lets remember the positives too!! |

"Eastenders "
Being on holiday in Spain but going to the Queens head for a fry at 930 with Eastenders on in the background.
All whilst wearing a sting vest, socks with your flip fops & asking people what the weather is like back home |

"Apologising for things that aren't your fault, like someone walking into you."
Especially if done with sarcasm: oh I'm so terribly sorry, did you want to stand on the exact square foot of the earth's surface that I was occupying? No, please, do let me get out of your way since it's so important to you to stand right fucking there. |

"Crisp sandwhiches?
A Canadian asked me about this once.... "
Any form of double carb seems alien to foreign friends: chip butties, toast sandwiches, crisp sarnies. Seems a peculiarly British thing. |

It's either steamed fish, mixed veg, garlic mash potatoes.
OR
Ham that I've boiled. I'll chop slices into little bits & have baked beans. Scoop the baked potato's out & put a bit of naughty slightly salted butter in them & on the scooped bit as well. I'll know when I open the cupboard.... |

I have never heard of such a thing? It's a Bolton thing then???? It sounds interesting..... What's the most popular pasty filling then?
I've heard of "stotties", but not that. You learn something every day!  |

"The magna carta and common law.

What the great charter does not exist I've seen it at Salisbury."
"Did you know that the Chapter House in Salisbury Cathedral holds the best preserved of only four remaining original 1215 Magna Carta manuscripts? It remains one of the most celebrated documents in English history due to its symbol for justice, fairness and human rights. The other Magna Carta manuscripts are kept at Lincoln Cathedral and the British Library."
And also:
"Did you know?
Magna Carta was not intended to be a great charter of rights for all people, but designed by the barons to ensure that their rights were protected against the king's power."
And
"There are 63 clauses in Magna Carta. For the main part, the clauses do not deal with legal principles but instead relate to the regulation of feudal customs and the operation of the justice system. There are clauses on the granting of taxes, towns and trade, the extent and regulation of the royal forest, debt, the Church and the restoration of peace.
Only four of the 63 clauses in Magna Carta are still valid today - 1 (part), 13, 39 and 40. "

"Adding milk to tea, absolute blasphemy!
Green teas etc I accept that. Black teas need a dash of milk though
Nope nope nope nope nope.
Nope."
Some years ago, I'd have said milk goes in black tea, but now I'm in the "no milk" camp. Green tea with milk is just an abomination that makes my teeth crawl  |
