40 Funny Times The UK Was Caught Just Being The UK, As Shared On This Page (New Pics)
InterviewNo matter what part of the world you travel to, humor is an integral part of everyone’s lives. The memes that people create and enjoy can tell you a lot about what the local culture and day-to-day existence are really like. And that’s no different in the United Kingdom.
The well-known ‘Great British Memes’ social media project, part of the GBM Group network, shares some of the best memes you’ll ever find on the internet about what it quintessentially means to be a Brit. Scroll down for our collection of some of their best new memes that are as British as the king, and be sure to upvote your favorite ones. And don't forget to follow the GBM socials for their freshest memes.
Bored Panda reached out to the founder of GBM Group and Great British Memes, George Bacon, who was kind enough to tell us about the company and shared his thoughts on memes that resonate with his audience.

My Utopia.....wait, wait....ima opening one of these and guess what I just realised I'm calling it?
Books & Booze? Tequila mockingbird? Pints & Prose? Cocktales? (Maybe not this one)
Load More Replies...I can see myself the next morning with a pounding headache and a shocking number of books lying on the bed. Regret and the realization creeping into my head that last night was more expensive than any bar night before. It sounds excellent because books are not the worst thing you can drag home at night.
Yes. Just give me some classic pub style food and I will live there
Loved that book. Even though it plays in the present (1990's) it had a fifties feel about for me. All I can say is: poor Bunny.
Bacon, the founder of both the GBM Group social creative agency and the Great British Memes project, opened up to Bored Panda about the company.
"Great British Memes was founded in 2017, and has now become one of many pages that GBM owns," he shared. "Great British Memes was a project I started whilst at uni, and began to kick off straight away!"
Meanwhile, Bacon founded the company itself in 2020, during the pandemic, after he finished his degree and graduated from Portsmouth University.
I remember when it used to be free. When I was a child, I didn't have my own air pump... we just went to the gas station. They also provided us with the tools, if we had to make some repairs or adjustments. I was 9 yo, and gas station staff were more involved in my bike than my own father.
What do you mean "used to be free"?? 😳 I went to the gas station just yesterday and pumped my tyres for free. 🤔😅
Load More Replies...Odd thing about the states: urban gas stations charge up to $1.75. Rural/small-town gas stations usually have air for free. Yes, this is a generalization. But it some cities I've lived, there's like a very stable distance outside the beltway (most U.S. cities have a highway encircling them where possible) where suddenly the air becomes free.
I can never tell. Their face is always hidden by their phone.
Load More Replies...I have done this often. The amount of people that don't know how to use indicator when changing lane or turning. And those other morons who run red lights..
Bored Panda was curious about the types of memes that resonate the most with the audience of the Great British Memes project.
"Definitely British, of course! However, we jump on reactive and cultural things happening in the UK which really helps with keeping our audience up to date," the founder told us.
As for the popularity of the page, one thing that all content creators should definitely keep in mind is the power of consistency.
Ironically Ireland hate the actor who played inspector gadget as he ran over and killed somebody in Ireland and got away with it!

Load More Replies...After getting looks from astonished to disgusted every time I pay with my (kind of unobtrusive) NFC ring, I am seriously considering getting a payment implant (yes, those do exist by now).
I'm jealous. I'm in the US so we don't have that implant yet. I have a couple of the other ones but as soon as we upgrade our system & support it, I'm doing it. Edit: I use one of my implants for the security doors at work & it's almost always a look of "what is this witchery?"
Load More Replies...Ironically, it's Doctor Who. (Matt Smith! wait... there aren't many people named 'Smith' in the U.K., are there?)
Yeah, I still get a kick out of tap and pay. Also unlocking my car with the fob.
"Consistency definitely helps, we've been posting on Great British Memes daily for the last 6 years. That's some commitment!" Bacon said that they post at least 3 to 4 times per day.
At the moment, the GBM team consists of 7 people, with both full-time and freelance employees working at the London-based company. "The GBM-owned network is now over 10 million followers strong, with the majority of their audience based in the UK," Bacon said.
Mmm toasted perfectly, evenly spread butter, just the right amount of grape jelly. Perfection✨️
Load More Replies...I think it is the temperature. There is this one temperature of first sip of tea that is just perfect. 0.01 degree C difference either way, and is tastes bit off.
"The agony of the leaves" as I was told by a tea sommelier.
Load More Replies...Tea is a natural product. Despite consistency in production, there may still be slight variations in the plant it was picked from.
I know. Sometimes it's just perfect. I treasure those cups of tea.
every leaf is a different leaf. Some have had better lives.. every drop of water is determined by your council.. some has passed through Erou of Egisss some has been through Italians..the lighting was different too

Load More Replies...Cheese can be very entertaining if you buy several kinds, some salty snacks and you're sitting in the couch with a blanket a cat or dog.
That, my friends, is Woolies. I'm afraid to tell you it is Australian cheese that doesn't live up to its name- British cheese is yet to be accused of such a thing.
I'm now wondering if this is only in one store, or if I just never look up!
Load More Replies...Did you ever stop to consider that the cheese didn't feel up to entertaining? That it might have been ... blue?
Is this on here because a British tourist found it entertaining when in Australia?
‘Great British Memes’ is a well-established internet project that focuses on relatable memes and funny posts.
It’s quite likely that you’ve seen a few of their memes while scrolling on your fave social media networks. On Instagram alone, the project has amassed a following of 2.2 million eager fans since 2017.
Meanwhile, ‘Great British Memes’ has a further 980k followers on Facebook, as well as 17.3k fans on X (formerly known as Twitter, thanks, Elon).
You should have also started your career then so you have 20 years experience by age 25, silly
In the UK, many people go o to a housing list to get a council house.
Load More Replies...Not sure why someone down voted you for this as there is nothing offensive here so just putting it back up. In response to your question, if we order things from abroad we get updated by that countries courier. It'll normally switch to Royal Mail or a local courier once it lands in the UK which it appears didn't happen in this case. Mostly we use FedEx, UPS, DHL etc.
Load More Replies...USPS just sent a package of things I ordered from a store in Michigan to Puerto Rico when my address is in California. Finally arrived today, three weeks late, correctly labeled to my address in CA. Nobody could explain what happened or why the tracking software said my package was at my area's distribution center. Sigh.
How though!? like did they leave the cargo hold open? did they try to air-drop the cardigan? Also, I feel like this could make a much better plot for Castaway.

It’s clear that the founder of the project has a deep appreciation for memes, humor, and Britishness as a whole. Combine all of them with lots of relatability and what you get is a solid community that loves a bit of banter and spans the internet. Of course, all of that success is bound to bring at least a few (dozen) copycats, too.
There are a lot of stereotypes floating around about what it’s like being a Brit. And though many of them are overly exaggerated renditions of life in the British Isles, there are some kernels of truth here and there. For one, the Brits really do love their tea! According to the UK Tea & Infusions Association, approximately 100 million cups are drunk every single day in the United Kingdom.
All of this amounts to nearly 36 billion cups of tea drunk per year in the UK. It’s mind-boggling! And the absolute majority—97.5%—of British tea is consumed from a tea bag. Meanwhile, coffee is also popular among Brits, but it still falls short of the widespread consumption of tea. Around 70 million cups of coffee are drunk by Brits.
The amount of time it took me to figure out that says 'ham and Emmental' is shameful.
came to the comments after wasting too much time trying to decipher. Thank you for spelling it out.

Load More Replies...That's a great idea! If it stops even one drunk driver, it's worth it.
likely lost good customers when they missed the bus and got grounded by the misses
I feel like Turnpike Lane Station is rather ambiguous. Which is it, and turnpike, lane, or station?
It’s the name of a tube station - the bus route ends there, so it’s the destination.
Load More Replies...Someone caught my arm as i was going for the first motion. Of course thats (not) how it is done!!
I keep seeing this one worded differently in different places. I declare shenanigans.
We usually just say bubbly in Australia (especially since not allowed to call it Champagne unless it comes from there now) and my mum asked for some from the person on bar somewhere recently and they said 'do you mean sparkling water?'
It’s not just a fascination with endless cups of tea that makes for truly British life. ‘Country Living’ points out that Brits are huge fans of dunking their biscuits in tea and simply love eating chips (aka fries) with weird toppings, from curry sauce (yum!) and cheese to gravy (delicious!). Anyone who’s tried curry or gravy on their chips knows that it’s hard to go back to plain potatoes afterward.
protip. If its going to be an outside event, go a week or two before to the park and bury your drinks/party favors and then once you are inside at the actual event, dig them up.
Load More Replies...Had to pay 5€ for one f***ing beer last time. It wasn't even 0.5l. It was a small 0.33l ... water wasn't very far behind, with 3.5€ for 0.5l - wouldn't be suprised when people faint b/c of dehydration
Cause it’s ridiculously expensive and 75% of us are still underage lol
Is it the cost,or is it because they can't film the concert on their phones and hold a drink at the same time??? And it's not just youngsters who do this.
I can film and hold a drink at the same time. 🤷

If this is in Ironbridge then the top of the road is called Upper Paradise. That's an address I would love to have.
If you were in the US Midwest, you would slap your legs whilst saying "Wel'p, better be getting on now" and standing up.
Our family used to say, "I think I've had all the fun I can stand here." LOL
There is a culture of fried and heavy foods in the UK, too. People love having fried eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and hash browns for breakfast. And if you didn’t get slightly hungry by the end of that sentence, we don’t know what to tell you. What’s more, some Brits enjoy eating specific meals based on the day of the week. Sunday roasts and fish and chips on Friday are two popular choices.
What da buck I just read ? When I thought I saw already everything, internet do his magic again.
Read in a list here how an older sister convinced younger sister the Hershey kiss paper strips were edible. At college, other students clued her in. She called sister to yell at her. Sister said, but they are! Little sister again had to be told it was a prank.
Load More Replies...Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
My sister ordered some food for an event from one of the supermarkets and had it delivered. When it got to the eta she got a text saying it was going to be delayed by an hr & 10 mins. Then half an hour after that time she got one saying 'something has gone wrong, your order has been cancelled'. Meanwhile she is in the bathroom getting ready for the event (she was on food for a dinner dance) so didn't see message until she came out. They didn't even bother to call, or apologise. This was just the food for the people with allergies, the rest had already been picked up from Costco, so she had to go in person to the supermarket to get the items on the way to the event!
There was no Fanta outside of Germany at this time, it was our Coca Cola replacement
Load More Replies...My mum started buying Christmas food at the start of September. It's only going to be the two of us! Who is she feeding!?
Cupboards full of Christmas treats by Halloween, they can't be touched until Christmas Eve after 6pm. My wife on Boxing Day "all this needs eating up" *gestures to mountain of food.
Like it's a limited edition bottle or she bought it to be served on Christmas?
No, normal Fanta but it's a joke that many mums will start buying Christmas food (anything nice that you might not have year round/ often) early, like a little each week to save for Christmas. Then the mums will store them away and not allow you to touch them until they finally declare it time, usually 2-4 days before Christmas Day itself. If you touch the special Christmas food before that time has been declared, you meet the wrath of mum.
Load More Replies...As an American, I never knew there is Christmas Fanta. I feel so empowered right now.
Hah hah, there really isn't. Sadly, there is no Christmas flavour Fanta in the UK. It is just a sill joke about mums in the UK buying food and drink for the holidays waaaaay in advance.
Load More Replies...It will not be opened until a few days before Christmas, so yes
Load More Replies...Our ASDA put out the Christmas c**p on the shelves on August Bank Holiday Monday
Some other quintessentially British things include the love of queues, avoiding sitting next to other people on public transport, and apologizing for practically everything and anything.
As ‘Country Living’ also notes, the British are said to often pretend to like people that they actually don’t. It’s this stereotypical non-stop politeness that has made some people wonder whether Brits really mean it when they apologize or if, for many of them, it’s simply a cultural habit.

Load More Replies...We had Woolworth's' in the US when I was a kid, it's also a nostalgia for me. Miss them, they were the best.
Woolworth's Five and Dime. Haven't seen one for 50 years.
Load More Replies...Their toys,children's clothing,stationery, music and of course the pick and mix!
Bought my copy of Super Mario Bros 3 from there and I think was given my first record player from there too.
My first and last shoplifting experience was in woolworths, it was a rimmell frosted heather lipstick.
Ok, but this person would likely be grossed out if they knew what Black Pudding was yet.. OREOS NEXT TO EGGS ARE OK!?
Bought some vegan 'black pudding' at the weekend and it was so nice. We have a b&b and had some Americans stay and they mentioned black pudding and my dad went and bought some (proper stuff from the butchers, not supermarket stuff they were going to) and the man loved it so much. Then realised it is banned in the USA and so couldn't even bring some home.
I ordered some over the Internet from a shop I'm Chicago. Blood pudding isn't banned in the US.
Load More Replies...Oreos = vile. Black Pudding = divine (dependant on variety and how it's cooked).
I don't know where you do your shopping, but when I go to the shop it's for food.
Load More Replies...When I do shopping I think now I only have to return in 2 to 5 years and next day I'm there again.
Buy a freezer, have long life milk, then you only need to go once a week.
Make a meal plan, make a shopping list for everything, check essentials and toiletries and add to list as needed. Done for the week. If I do this properly I only have to go back to get things that were out or things that I’d rather have fresh, like fish or meat. Works fine for a family of 4. But the total at the checkout makes me weep sometimes.
As British writer and comedian Ariane Sherine told Bored Panda during a previous interview, life in the UK has its fair share of upsides and downsides
"Let's start with the good things first: we have the NHS, a healthcare system which is free at the point of use. It's not perfect, but it needs to be cherished and protected. So medical procedures are free, except for dentistry, which is subsidized, as are prescriptions,” she said.
At uni my nickname was Steve. But there was already a Steve in our class, and I was a bit wild back then so I ended up being crazy Steve and the other one was normal Steve. My real name is Michael though
Socks and two front teeth, or a hippopotamus
Load More Replies...For my birthday, I gave my kids some money so they could buy me a present (they are 8,10,12) I mentioned several times that I'd like socks, and mentioned my size. And that I like socks or a mug. And my size. My oldes got me a pale pink lipstick (a colour I didn't have but wouldn't get myself), the middle one got me planner with space print, and the youngest got me 50 balloons (in a bag, so not inflated). It reflected their personalities so well! So was very happy with it. But I still wouldn't have minded socks..., really wouldn't have minded that.
I wear Christmas socks all year round . . . I ain't wastin' 'em . . .
My dad saying 'why do men always get socks and jocks for Christmas?', my dad actually enjoying (and asking for) socks and jocks for Christmas :) In fact, when we started buying things we thought he might want (particularly because we were spending more than $10 on everyone else) he was offended he had to start paying for them when he ran out.
I spent $8 on a single pair of socks, with the thickest and softest soles, and showed them to my dad, who immediately went, "Those are good socks, get more."
The expression on chubby guys face is making me feel something something.
Looks like a load of St Peters boys after a night out with a few random normal people
"Then we have strict gun laws which mean almost nobody has a gun and there's virtually no gun crime. We have seasonal weather which means you never really know what you're going to get. But it's nice to have changing seasons, with occasional snow in winter. I guess climate change is going to alter that though,” the talented comedy writer said.
"Are you a terrorist?" "Yes" "And what is the purpose of your visit?" "You know, to do terrorist stuff" "OK sir, thank you for your honesty. Enjoy your stay at our lovely country!"
I imagine it would be like those games where you hit the button and the screen goes "So you really want to do this for the joke, huh?"
Load More Replies...Many years ago I was flying out late. I had a couple hours to kill and the airport was nearly empty. The security guy asked me the "could anyone else have interfered with your luggage since you packed" question. Now, the honest answer was yes. The friend I'd been staying with had had a party the night before, so to get my stuff out the way, I packed everything and left it in the bedroom. Anyone at the party could have messed with it and I hadn't opened it since. So because I was bored and curious what would happen, I answered honestly. I certainly was bored after that. They eventually let me get on the flight, but it was close run thing. I don't regret it.
Thee other day I registered somewhere and for the anti-bot question "Are you human?" you could also pick "Maybe" or "I think". I picked "I think" because I thought it was enough evidence that you actually selected an answer, but it didn't get accepted. I had to go back and click "Yes". :-(
I always liked the sign at the Brisbane (Australia) cruise ship terminal that forbade passengers to take aboard 'flamethrowers of military design'. Presumably a flamethrower was ok if it was your own design, or made by e.g. Black & Decker. But, as 'security' people are such humourless twats, i was never game to ask.
I have a slight tremor in my hand. That screen would make me nervous.
My nan's is tiny little single serve milk jugs from caffes, woman's a right klepto for them.
I got a mini silver jug from a bar in Streatham - they actually let me have it after I asked where they got them from.
Load More Replies...Yank here. Was in a British inn years ago talking to a stool mate. Said he did the accounts for a number of pubs in the area.”Oh”, I said. “A CPA. We call them Certified Public Accountants”. Brit on the other side said, “ We call em bloody robbers !” Turned out he owned an inn nearby. Asked him why he was drinking here, “Don’t have a bloody pub in my place”, he said.
A British Inn, do you mean a hotel or a B&B type of establishment?
Load More Replies...I actually asked the landlord in the pub in Brecon if he minded if I stole "that glass". I still have it ten years later.
My wife can't see new pint glasses without stealing them. WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE SPACE!
Never ever tell a teacher they have a lot of holidays, they'll bite your head off. And rightly so, since they never have the entire period off, they need to do a lot of work for school during holidays.

However, the UK is far from perfect! "It rains a lot and is quite gloomy weather-wise for much of the time. People are quite negative, sarcastic, and bitter though I don't mind that so much,” Sherine told Bored Panda.

Please help someone from "Across the Pond", what is that pile of brown stuff? Are those used tea bags?
It’s easy to start something like this. That one person who refuses to put his/her/its used teabag in the bin so everyone else thinks if they can get away with it then they’re going to do the same. It works the same with the washing up rota too. Which is why I will never live with my sister - ever again.
My dad said, after my mum dropped in recently, 'I always know when your mother has been here, she puts the teabag under the squeezer (which is in it's own bowl) instead of the bin!' I honestly think the same, but I know that in her house that's what they do, leave it there until there are enough to require them to go to the bin, which is all the way across the kitchen. Our teabag squeezer is right next to the benchtop bin, aka teabag bin because we have a larger bin elsewhere in the kitchen.
Load More Replies...I don't believe this as a result of a mental health issue. It looks more like students that may have let it pile a little high to begin with and no it's like a quest to keep it going. Looks to 'staged' and 'organised' in its chaos

Looks like Our Daisy and Our Rose let the kitchen go again. Wait til Hyacinth sees this.

Load More Replies...Looks staged. It would take a lot of work to make a pile of teabags like that...
Do you really think so? One teabag at a time, maybe three or four times each day over a long period of time can do that. Drying teabags are glueing itself perfectly. My husband had this one guy at work who threw his used teabags towards the ceiling. And there they stayed with their strings dangling from above... It doesn't need much effort to get this pile on the pic, just a little bit everyday.

I used to work at a lot of festivals here in the UK, seeing someone dressed as a shark would have seemed normal, however the two people having sex against the back of a very smell portapotty was bad, even worse was the young man taking a dump on the grass right next to them! Romance isn’t dead

I'm not British, but that looks yummy, I do it with spaghetti, I fold one slice of brioche bread, put the pasta in the fold and I eat it. Healthy? no, delicious? yes

Any time school seating arrangements are mentioned in my family, my sister says 'the teachers didn't know what to do with me because I would distract anyone, whether friends with them or not. I do remember one time she was on a table with only boys around her, but even that wasn't successful.
Load More Replies...Chillies and dark chocolate is absolutely amazing! 🥰
Load More Replies...The fact there's actually a picture of a worried looking squirrel on it.
Hmmmm.......I'd mix the chips to create a Cajun Builder's Breakfast and a Chocolate Squirrel.
The same guy would moan if they did shove a cafe and toilets up the top, but changed more than at the bottom to cover the cost of transporting the goods and staff to work and clean them up there each day! As you climb Mount Fuji, the costs of food and drinks in the vending machines and shops gets more and more expensive, so cover the increased costs of paying staff to go further up with the stock.
This gem on google reviews too... wonder if he's got a divorce yet. 11-6514546...nsored.jpg
Most any outdoor attraction reviews are hilarious. Try Yellowstone in the US. I spent hours laughing.
Not me. Too similar to the moment they open the doors at Walmart on Black Friday.
I made brownies, and took some around to a friend's house. She had to battle with her cats as to who would be allowed to eat the brownie! She finally was victorious. Now, I deliver cakes in a box.
Chocolate is really toxic for cats, even worse than for dogs. :(
Load More Replies...For me it's YouTube. Last night I stayed up until 4am watching some girls move in to their college dorms. I graduated from college 26 years ago so entirely irrelevant. Not sure what's wrong with me. :)
Try never going outside ever again(cough*me*cough)

I have some left over prescription burn cream, but you're probably fine now. Bye
You're not a country. You're a museum full of stolen artifacts. Just like the USA is not a country. We are a military complex with civilians.
The UK is nothing that simple. It's a country composed of four countries, of which at least one is not a country.
Load More Replies...Incorrect, I've quite literally seen someone operating an Iphone perfectly with a hole burnt in the screen. There are still a lot of cracked Iphones too, now one thing I haven't seen (besides mine) is a phone in tact.
Load More Replies...Pissy Skidmark is what I've started calling him tbh.
Load More Replies...Yeah. How much did your upgrade of the local grid to power your heated swimming pool cost each individual in Council Tax, Ringo? Maths me.
To be honest, we do moan about kids not having enough good school.
Fact: There's a "c**t" in every episode. His name is Ricky Gervais.
Load More Replies...I have played with this rule ONCE! In many, many years of playing, only once has this rule been followed. Almost always, on landing on "Go" we receive double. My husband added the rule of any fine are put in the middle of the board, and when a person lands on Community Chest they get the collected fines.
We do land on free parking and get all the fines, but absolutely land on go and get double too!
Load More Replies...Wait...there are rules? I swear, everyone I know learned by being taught the game by someone who also, apparently, never read the rules.
Even more true of Uno. I work in education and I honestly don't know what to say when kid's tell me he only rules they have been taught, especially since the rulebook is almost always missing so I can't prove it!
Load More Replies...I hate YT shorts. I've never seen a IG Reel, and the only Tiktok I see are ones my daughter tells me to watch. Where's my medal?
And, too many times the title gets changed and the content is the same.
Load More Replies...edinburgh Newcastle in two weeks 18,50, Bristol London; 30 something. Cardif London 35 ish. Trains in the UK can be expensive but not THAT expensive.
Load More Replies...1) I just checked the national rail website and if you wanna leave tomorrow, fares start at 50 something quid for a SINGLE ticket. 2) so why would you need an open return? 3) why is there a trainthingy and 62,15 in the upperleft corner? So either cut this c**p or tell me whats happening here.
That's what happens when D%ckhead Govts sell off once-public-owned services...
No, you are "serious" country... I mean seriously f..d up country in some regards :( I mean who in their right mind would privatize trains, utilities, buses and recently mail service?!?
this screenshot is b******t. Fares are expensive but not THAT expensive.
Load More Replies...I miss Matt Lucas. It wasn't all that long ago that he embraced his German heritage, so he was able to get his Herr back.
My parents Airbnb their spare rooms (£54 a night so very reasonable for the size, location and quality provided) and Mum says sometimes she cringes at what people write (who were clearly cringing themselves writing it) or laughs as it's so witty and funny. I've told her to start screen shotting the witty ones to post (obviously anonymously). That said some people are so assuming and demanding, instead of asking if they can do extra things, they just tell mum they are. Like they have a paddock that has pet sheep in it, one guy saw it from the photos and said he would let his horse (that he was transporting home) out in it to exercise but it was okay as it would sleep in the horse box. Not a "I see you have a paddock with a few sheep, would it be okay if I let my horse out to exercise for a bit, but he would sleep in the horse box?" The entitlement of some people is wild.
In Scotland we had background checks, references, etc... for a freaking Airbnb. Nice place but the hoops you had to jump though were ridiculous
I think it was all about Great Britain, and you only risk getting shot for knocking on door in USA. Do the knocking :)
Do not associate me and my Mid-Atlantic friends with the people who shoot visitors.
Load More Replies...I had a friend who honked when he arrived. I would text him, asking when he was going to arrive. He'd say he was here and honk again. I'd ask him if he had to go to the bathroom. Mad stomping to my door... EVERY DAMN TIME!
That's nothing. For those of us who buy software for our ancient retro computers, we can have till receipts going as far back as the 1970s. Try collecting for the BBC Micro - software for those can be so well looked after that you get the packaging, contents, till receipts and all the pieces like it was just this moment bought at Smiths or whatever educational suppliers.
I once bought a clock that had a receipt of purchase tucked inside the door... from 1807!
Load More Replies...I was going to suggest it was one served on a train, but it is clearly outside...
It's devastating for those of us who live abroad who can't watch iPlayer and want our kids to experience British kids' TV, which is surely some of the best!
Load More Replies...Not really related, but I was thinking about the great tv series from my own country and remembered my brother just came back to Australia from Sweden and he said he turned on the tv and Mortified was on! So now I'm wondering what Swedish kids think of the show? I think it was among our best!
Horrid Henry is a terrible show for kids. My kids watched and then copied the things he said and did.
HOW was a good one too. I remember the pre-CITV days where they had Murphy's Mob and programmes like that anyway. CITV had a spaceship set to begin with.
Eugh when I worked in a pub when I was younger, I hated people who ordered a Guinness shandy (half Guinness half lemonade) or John smiths shandy. They are so hard to pour as they just fizz up everywhere. You would have to pour them so so so slowly that they would take forever. They also surely have to taste disgusting?!
No, you just had to yell loudly until the exasperated workers just give in. Screw politeness.
Again, I'm reminded of the classmate who didn't use punctuation marks. She was 16. We all criticised her but she was just ahead of her time. I don't understand this thing above.
There's some punctuation but what they've written is just nonsense anyway.
Load More Replies...Coconut chocolate bar… and everything else she said is true
Load More Replies...Didn't read it. Didn't watch their Oprah or Netflix interviews either. Don't like to hear well- off people whine, when so many people can barely get by.
Read it. It was a revealing but also obviously restrained portal into a world few ever experience, one which is far from the life of ease you'd expect, at least in the case of the subject, who came across as a compassionate and empathetic human being who was trapped in a system full of triggers relating to the worst time of his life with no support offered or even allowed. Or, as the collective internet commentariat has decreed, "rich guy whining."
Load More Replies...Never ever has this been said in Barry, Port Talbot or Swansea…….
Load More Replies...Yep, confirmed by a random delivery photo of an unidentifiable place.
Parking PCNs from privately operated car parks are payable directly to the operator of the car park; the courts only get involved if you don't pay which can then result in a County Court Judgement if you still don't pay up, and it's significantly cheaper if you pay immediately rather than wait for the courts to get involved.
Load More Replies...Especially with the design of the websites. Plan on several hours to navigate to the page to pay the correct department.
Sure Jezza but maybe some of us don't feel so comfortable monetizing xenophobia.
Vinted: "Used Crocs £12.99". Temu: "All this random s**t plus the kitchen sink and your mortal enemy's soul, £1.82. Shop like a billionaire."
Does anybody know what this Temu wants from us? Yeah sure data. But like, do you really get your random s**t, the sink and the soul?
