As a born and bred Englishman, it pains me to say that my homeland has given the world plenty of entertainment recently, and not in a good way. I am of course talking about our abysmal performance at Euro 2016. Oh yeah, and, you know, that whole Brexit thing...
Because of this, it's nice to find something aimed at the UK that a Brit can actually smile about. And Twitter account @britishreactions is that something. It's completely stereotypical, completely ridiculous and...well...completely accurate. More tea anybody?

I've done this, also because I'm a woman, I will decline the first offer, ask me again, and its on!
I thought this was about cereal for a second then I realized it was about tea
Hahahahaha, not so in Mexico. Wake up, strecht until your fat hand hits neighbour, get up and rub fellow travelers with butt and belly in their faces, exit.
In NZ, you pick up you stuff, shuffle a bit, and hope the person gets the message. Sometimes they let you out right away. Other times they convey the message that they're not risking their lives by moving while the bus is in motion, and refuse to budge. You respond by shuffling more and more in the hopes that they realise how drastic the situation is. Eventually, they let you pass. No one would possibly say "sorry" here - that's far too direct and confrontational. (Passive aggression 101.)
I was on a bus heading into Newcastle City Centre. Pressed the bell to get off. Then the bus suddenly stopped on the Central Motorway. Too embarrassed and polite to tell the driver I wanted the next stop, I got off anyway and even thanked him!
hahaa! why do we do that? I can feel myself doing it just by reading it!
Plot Twist; Parcel was for next door, you accidentally cleaned the house.
that's actually perfect, because time goes by - it's about 6:48 (and 1 second, and 7 seconds, and so on and so forth)
A friend of mine, on being informed he had cancer: "Well, that's a bummer."
my fav saying to cars sitting at GREEN lights is "what are you waiting for, a personal invitation..??"
What? The snake? I don't get this. I presume they are 'you' and 'your best mate'.
growing up with British grandparents it's automatic for me. these are also hilarious, whereas for most in the U.S. they would go "Huh?" just realized i used 'whereas'! the British just doesn't leave...

I AM British and I do not read these with a British accent. Hate people pretending they know the accent.
I don't know, but most of those reactions are unmistakably convent school educated indian. :-)
What utter rubbish. Do you think Indian Convents spoke English with the English to learn from?
