You may arrive at r/CasualUK thinking you already know all about British people from movies and TV shows but as you will see from the pictures, not every stereotype holds true. To give you a crash course that will make it easier to browse the subreddit, we can take a look at what a British online newspaper called The Independent had to say on the subject.

Brits do drink tea all the time. When the Sons of Liberty tipped 45 tons of tea into the sea during their Boston Tea Party, Britain was mortified. And not just because of the lost tax but because, well, but also because it was such a waste. They consume about 5 pounds of tea per person each year and most native Britons would hook themselves up to an IV drip of the stuff if they could.

Brits also form a queue whenever they get the chance to. If waiting in an orderly fashion was an Olympic sport, Great Britain would line up to take gold, silver, and bronze. Apparently, they queue politely at bus stops and airports, in shops, and even at bars. Maybe they're not standing in a perfect line at the bar, but they all know in which order they arrived, and who gets to order when.

However, Brits don't necessarily think of nine pints of lager as a quiet night. Yes, they like to have a beer but they're not always drunk. Even though many students are perfectly capable of consuming 14 units of alcohol on a night out, when it comes to pure alcohol consumption per capita, they're not even in the top ten.

Also, contrary to popular belief, Brits don't talk about the weather all the time. Since they are not the most socially confident people and have around 120 days of rainfall a year, there isn't much sense for them to indulge in chit-chat, like "Isn't it rainy?" "Yes, just like yesterday."

This brings us to a common phrase, saying that Brits are reserved. Which is true. In foreign parts, this tends to translate as "snooty" but in fact, they're just a bit shy, almost apologetic for their presence. In his Notes From a Small Island, Bill Bryson finds that many of their sentences begin “Sorry, but…” So in a city, only beggars, lunatics and tourists speak to other members of the public; in London, you'll be lucky to make eye contact.

But for someone who likes to keep for themselves, they sure as heck have a hilarious sense of humor. Which is obvious if you visit r/CasualUK!

Awww, jeez. I should have saved my comment from the scaffolding one for this....Well, here it is again: I once worked at a ferry terminal that went from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. I did something to p*ss of the ticket office manager, and she had the cargo handlers completely wrap my car in the plastic sheeting they used to wrap all of the supplies for the ship - like five times around. That stuff is NOT weak. Took me about an hour to get it off at 10 at night. Good prank.

Yeah, this is weird to me too. Sure, if you put delivery instructions on it that said "if not home, leave with neighbour at No.8" but otherwise they shouldn't be giving your stuff to anyone else. That person could claim they never saw it. Aside from that, our couriers drop and run. They would never take the time to go to the next house to see if someone was home - we don't have terraced housing like the UK though, so it's not 3 steps to the next door. Maybe it is in the UK.

I'm in the US & this happens sometimes in our neighborhood. Usually, though, packages are just left on doorsteps. Either way, it requires neighborhood trust. There's never been a problem around here, but we do live in a rural, mostly conservative community, so trust & "neighborliness" are high. :)

This is actually a common strategy when practicing lucid dreaming. Once you understand that you dream, you can start controlling your dream. In order to tell if you are dreaming, you need to do reality checks such as this or things like counting your fingers, reading a line a couple of times, hopping (and landing without flying off).

5points

7points

Gandalf the Pink 4 years ago

Those strategies are really unreliable for me. Many times I can count my fingers, look back at the clock, read a page or look at my reflection, no problem. But they kind of work anyway because it gets me thinking about "maybe I'm dreaming" and that mindset usually gets me lucid.

1point

Patrick Wells 4 years ago

On the very few occasions in the past when I think I am lucid dreaming, the first thing I try to do to check if I am dreaming is to try to fly. If I do, I give myself a bit of a fist pump and say " alright, let's have some fun" and fly off to somewhere I would like to be.

I used to take the same train every morning in Osaka for a year, and one time while waiting on the platform they announced it would arrive late by a minute. An announcement for a 1 minute delay, and it was the only such delay for a year! But the railway company has a trick. Trains will make 5-10 minute stops on their line every 10 stations or so, and just sit there with the doors open. If they are behind schedule, these stops will be shortened. It buys them back the time they lose from minor unforeseen delays and keeps the trains running on time.

Nando's is a South African restaurant & take-away chain that makes the best Portuguese-style flame-grilled peri peri chicken. It's extremely popular here in the UK, for good reason - it's delicious and (slightly) healthier than other fried chicken options. Not sure why your hubby's cousins don't eat there though. Are they vegans, perhaps? Or maybe they just get take-aways rather than eating at the restaurant?

Genuinely, yes. I understand this after taking my 2 year old to chose her first one herself. The pharmacy had a choice of two suitable for toddlers, a pink Disney princess one and a blue Spiderman one. At two years old she was being taught that toddlers are divided into two very separate, and very different groups, and did she know which one she belonged to. Why not have a selection that it isn't heaving with social coding, such as animals on green and yellow toothbrushes. Just for one thing?
