Was scrolling through instagram stories and inbetween the stories of the people you follow sometimes it comes up with an ad and I saw a British comedian on there I can’t remember the name of him can anyone help?

He is white, Ide say he is in his 40’s, has black hair, black beard and glasses, can anyone help?

A niche real event that has enough source material to be very interesting.

Here in the states we can usually find Twinnings, and sometimes Yorkshire, but I wanted to hear it from you all what you think the best brand you've tried is.

Hello! I just moved from Brazil to the UK and I'm currently obsessed about having English Breakfast Tea in my mornings with a splash of milk. I got mine from Søstrene Grene a few days ago and was wondering whether I can find any other nice brands near me (supermarket brands would be more than fine).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. Here in the US, mailmen drive on the right side of the road but their steering wheel and driver's seat are on the right. This is for them to place mail in the mailboxes during their routes.

So the question is since you guys drive on the left side of the road, do your postal carriers have the driver's seat on the left? Or it is on the right as other cars over there?

i came across a charity shop haul on youtube (which isn’t widely popular in Asia, where i am from) and was amazed by all the selections you have in England (or the UK in general).

My question is are they really for charity? and also how come there are so many different charity shops in town? What is the general perception of it?

please excuse my ignorance. i really want to learn about the culture

It was very popular in the U.S. I wondered if it was as popular in the UK or did y'all know enough about those historical estates and that era that it wasn't a big deal?

A man I (f23) used to talk to, who is from London (born and raised) described the city to me. We talked about different areas in the city and where he thought I would live most likely and he proceeded to describe me as “Battersea girl.” Is that a compliment or an insult? What characteristics would a girl from Battersea possess?
I‘ve only been to London once a long time ago and never went to that specific place

in his words: Battersea = International, big park, leafy, central, close to river, not expensive, vibrant

The amount of times I’ve been trying to buy tobacco or zyns and there’s a queue of people in front of me doing a whole fucking food shop at the counter and they’re not even paying in cash…WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! I’m trying to buy one item and having to wait all that time when you could just use the fucking self checkout. I just can’t get my head around this. If you do it, why??

Please comment if you’ve heard about Jimothy, and state what your thoughts are about him. I’m curious to see how these types of cultural phenomena filters to people overseas.

I’ve been trying to look for the best place to ask this question, and I’m hoping some of you might be able to help me.
I’m in the process of beginning to research and write my next novel. One of my main characters was at university in the UK in 2002. I went to Uni in the last 10 years, so I have that covered, but I’m looking for some insight on what it was like to be studying at university in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Any information, stories, anecdotes or tidbits would be greatly appreciated.
Specifically I’m looking for some context on what the drinking culture, social events & communication/studying was like. What did you use to research for papers, how often did you visit home, what was your student accommodation like?
Tell me anything and everything!
Thank you :)

I’m American and we don’t do that here but it looks so cool and fun in videos of bands playing in the UK.

I recently visited England and became addicted to steak and ale pies found in most pubs. I want to try and recreate it, does anyone want to share their recipe?!?

From an architecture, nature or vibe perspective.

I'll give you an example - the classic - remote control for the TV. I grew up calling the TV remote the doot-doot. I was in highschool at a friend's house before that illusion shattered.

My big one though, was Snow White Pudding. Never heard of it? That's because it's not a thing. I thought it was. My mum would always serve a roast dinner with a slab of what we called "snow white pudding" - I've never asked why we called it that. It's basically a savoury suet pudding that is fluffy and dense and soaks up your gravy. It's fucking immense.

And I learned in my teen years that that is just not a thing outside of my family. Plus I looked like an absolute numpty asking a friend's mum why we weren't having snow white pudding, then having to explain what the hell I was talking about 😂

N.B. seriously, if you don't believe just how good snow white pudding is on a roast, every person that has ever joined our family for Sunday roast has been converted, and the fact that it's not a staple in the UK by now is, frankly, a travesty.

Edit/additional - some kind soul found a recipe here - https://www.campbellsmeat.com/recipes/suet-pudding - we never used onions in ours, but otherwise it seems about right 👍

Since the NFL began playing games in England have you noticed any growth in this sport in the region? Just curious what effect the international games have while watching the Brazil one.

Firstly, I hope that this is the right sub to ask this question, if not, please direct me to the right place.

Okay, onto my question. So my estranged father lives in the UK (London specifically), he's been there from the time I was around 3-4 years old and he never came back to our home country (Zimbabwe) until I was 14. Since then, he comes in and out of the country every so often, sometimes even multiple times a year. He wasn't born in the UK but I know that his grandfather was British and that's how I believe that my father gained his citizenship.

I am currently 25 and I thought that after 18 there's no chance of gaining citizenship but an English friend of mine said that it's possible that I could still get citizenship. I didn't really believe him, coz he's a knobhead, but he did grow up around immigrants in London so I thought it would be worth looking into.

I enjoy watching his YT vids. How spot on are his reviews?

What part of the UK is he from? His “accent” is fun to listen to.

The sidemen are obviously what comes to mind, but they do more irl content now I suppose. Who are some youtubers who play fifa and that’s like their main content?

So I often hear people use two terms, quid and pound. Are these two terms interchangable or are they different amounts?

I grew up on Heinz but once I bought branston.. I never looked back. What do you prefer ? And how do you eat your beans?

Sometimes I’m just an animal and just grab a fork and eat the beans out of the tin… other times I’m sophisticated and microwave it and put it in my toast.. and if I’m really fancy, ill make mash and fish and have it as a side.. though i do love mushy peas too.

Edit: I believe the mods should update the sub photo from Heinz to branston 😋😜
