Why do brits drink so much? I've never been somewhere where I've seen so many people falling down drunk at 5pm. Don't they know better????
If you grew up in a country where it rains 364 days a year you'd drink a lot too.
Why are British people so bad at customer service?
Because good customer service is for the Germans, and we all know how we feel about them.
Why do the British consider fries to be a meal in itself?
They're called chips, thank you very much. And they're a meal because they are amazing. Also, potatoes are one of the few things we can actually grow really well.
Why do British people bond by moaning together?
Because we don't realise how good we have it. When your country has existed for thousands of years and hasn't been invaded since 1066, you tend to moan about things that most other countries adore. Plus, the things we moan about have existed for hundreds of years and archaic in some instances.
Why are Brits STILL so class conscious?
We're not, really. Some people are but they're not worth being around. Nobody really cares what class you are other than snobs.
Why do Brits fret so much about getting social encounters wrong?
Because we are a nation of worriers. I don't know why but we just are.
Why is the British exam system so shit?
Well, it's not really. Most of it makes sense, which is why the Tories keep messing about with it. Anything working means it can't be right and has to be changed.
It makes more sense to me than the American system.
Why do British people in groups abroad behave so very badly?
Because other countries encourage it. When package holidays first became popular, the only place you could really go was Spain. All the Spanish resorts had to compete with each other and did so by offering the cheapest booze/clubs/hotels etc.
Nowadays most of the cheapest places for people in their teens and twenties aren't Spain. So all the countries like Bulgaria and Portugal are trying to compete with each other in the same way Spanish resorts did in the 1970s.
Why do Brits hate Europe so much?
We don't, but the people who do hate the EU because they believe the lies fed to them by right-wing rags like The Sun and people like Nigel Farage who have made out like the EU are responsible for all the problems in the country. Sadly, many people are out of touch with politics and thus believe the lies fed to them.
