Non-Brits are sharing the things Brits love that they’ll never understand – 23 contentious suggestions
It would be a strange old world if everyone liked the same things and had the same customs across every country. The only reason to go on holiday would be for the weather, and you could buy your souvenirs in your local tacky gift shop instead of in an overseas tacky gift shop.

The royal family, what exactly do they provide the country?
It’s all symbolic aside from the fact they can’t be arrested for breaking the law. https://t.co/tLMQlXkMBr— Tweeter Of Things (@ViolinPlayer10) October 28, 2024
