We just can’t stop talking about the UK. It’s definitely a place rich in culture, history, and—it goes without saying—memes.
Humor is definitely a strong point among Brits, providing ample potential and talent for UK-focused memes to thrive online. This is evident from the vast number of British meme pages out there, including this one found on Instagram.

Some times Gordon really is the spokesperson for all the things we wish we could say lol
Us average people can barely even process reaching adulthood without having cereal with milk...
Most nights it’s caviar and champagne, except on budget night when it’s camembert and chardonnay.
Load More Replies...Top that with a bit of brown sugar and fesh cinnamon? YUMMM!!
Load More Replies...I do love Gordon Ramsey’s sardonic humour. I kind of wish Gordon also called Kylie an “idiot sandwich.”
That would insult both idiots and sandwiches. Even Gordon knows better than that.
Load More Replies...Have you seen the state of of all the Kardashian ar.ses....I don't recommend she do that, if it catches on in the family we risk a nuclear winter.
Load More Replies...Genuine question: is it really not common to butter sandwiches in US? My American colleague was mind blown after trying butter, ham and cheese sarnie
he said butter on toast, not on a sandwich. unless you're suffering from nausea or something, dry toast is the gastronomic equivalent of dry cereal, i.e., who DOES that??? which is the point gordon was making, i believe...
Load More Replies...Those girls were raised by a businesswoman who did not care about their emotions one bit and put all of her children on diets from an early age as well as encouraging them to alter their bodies with surgery... That's abuse and bashing her for this is completely ignoring that reality.
But the stench of old urine and rotted food was appalling.
Load More Replies...The red one speaks history, glass one is technology. Red one is iconic.
I haven't seen a telephone box in the UK outside of London for many, many years.
Load More Replies...Yup... Proof is the fact that you come across the original booths in small villages repurposed as lending libraries, trading posts and green houses(sure there are many other creative uses). The other kind is usually trashed and dismantled.
there are villages where there are red boxes with Defibrillators for heart attacks apparently you call the service via a phone speaker and they release the device and call emergency services for you
Load More Replies...So the telephone booth on the left got downgraded to a mailbox on the right. Am I getting this right?
Gaston... Both are telephone boxes, the one on the right is a relatively new design.
Load More Replies...perhaps you're thinking a police box (blue box)
Load More Replies...sadly due to the british mentality of vandalising stuff when drunk or bored we ended up with that design
And he's better looking than all those other blokes.
Load More Replies...Also played as Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi & Willow in the film Willow
aaah Willow, for me the best heroic fantasy film i have ever seen
Load More Replies...I found the part where he is playing Griphook at Shell Cottage genuinely spellbinding. Such expression and such a well-paced delivery of every line! Fabulous.
professor Flitwick's design changed so much between film 2 and 3 and it was weirder because NOBODY mentioned it at all.
missing a spinoff "professor flitwick and the fountain of youth"
Load More Replies...If you’ve been following us in the recent months, then you probably noticed a number of British meme pages being discussed on the website. There’s definitely a handful of them out there, and featured this time around is LaughsUK on Instagram. The page was originally created back in mid 2020 and has since brought together over 95,000 followers, providing them with a good British laugh.
Mind you 'Newstalk'? Gee they must've been bored or something to bring that up.
Load More Replies...It was the same in my school. Boys were allowed to wack each other with chairs during class, but girls couldn't have a knee on display? Adults these days...
This was supposed to be about British humour in a nutshell... Why am I not laughing here? C'mon guys.
I always wondered why most school uniforms consist of these mandatory skimpy skirts, which force the girls to sit on their underwear when sitting down, and forbid trousers for girls. I think in general school uniforms are a good idea, because in the countries I lived the kids may wear what they want, which includes bikini tops and ultra short shorts. However, these tiny skirts a none better
My school had a uniform and there was no part that said how long the skirt had to be. Many girls would roll them up to desired length (I didn't, mum hemmed them lol). The year 9s always had them the shortest.
Load More Replies...I remember getting yelled at by the headmistress in secondary school because my skirt was too revealing. Ah yes, let’s sexualize young teen girls. Yet another girl who would wear skirts even shorter never got in trouble because she looked like a model and mummy and daddy have lots of money to the school. 🙄
I believe Newstalk is a radio station in Ireland?
Load More Replies...Nothing infuriates me more than men telling women to dress appropriately because they can't keep it in their pants. No, you a-holes. You're the one with the problem if you can't treat girls/women with respect. I grew up in a time when judges dismissed rape cases because the victim was dressed inappropriately. I wish I believed there was a hell because I'd wish you all a one-way trip.
And now in other "things that didn't happen, Uncle Roger praised a Jamie Oliver recipe!"
I agree with, Jack. F**k off, Rebecca. I love how mummy bloggers try to make it sound like their three year old is an Oxford professor when they’re really just having a meltdown because they can’t microwave their action figures.
That's the most clever of the comebacks! Well done. :-)
Load More Replies...Words do die. They can take a huge amount of time, but words fall out of use, fall out of memory, and their meaning disappears. Words can die.
Especially when they are quanked! (One I'm bringing back!).
Load More Replies...lolololol the times I have wanted to say something similar on posts lol
I mean kids will actually say stuff like that but they don't know what they're freaking talking about. They will also say things like "unicorns wash buckets with butter" but some parents will like zoom in on the occasional "deep" stuff like their kid is some wise philosopher. It is like they throw and miss their shot a million times but one single goal and they're Michael Jordan.
Kids are like that. My little daughter once asked me what the nuggets were made of. I told her and she seemed horrified: They KILL the chickens for that???? Then she looked at the nuggets and muttered: But they are SO TASTY. And proceeded to eat them.
Vegans have this weird idea that people would instantly join their cause, if they knew how meat is processed. It may work on some individuals, but most people just shrug and keep eating what they want.
Load More Replies...Disgusting? It's preventing meat that can't be sold otherwise from being tossed away. If anything, nuggets are ressourceful.
Then TV chefs like Jamie Oliver go on and on about homemade stock, as if blasting meat from a carcass is a crime, but boiling if off is the mark of of a great cook. (I think both are fine, just dislike the snobbish hypocrisy).
Load More Replies...I'm honestly on the side of the kids. Using as much as possible of the animal is never a bad thing. Food waste is a huge problem, so finding ways to utilize the parts we don't usually use is good.
Same segment where he tells kids that anything other than breast, wing or thigh meat is "dirty", lies to kids about the costs of food and the time it takes to make it to "prove" his point, and generally acts like the out of touch priviileged wanker he is. Dude LOVES to tell kids the only possible reason people eat lower quality food is that they're lazy and stupid.
From the time she was little, I showed my daughter where food came from: especially meat. I wanted her to understand (at an age appropriate level) that it was a living thing and how it made its way to the table. She is currently raising animals in one of her classes for processing and they will eat it at the end. Food is food.
Instead of trying to gross us out, admit that there's nothing wrong with junk food in moderation. A blooming onion every couple of years is not going to shave years off your life.
The page deals in a variety of memes. All very British, of course.
Yes, Gordon Ramsey is a key figure. Yes, we have to talk about the electrical sockets too. Yes, royalty is still a thing. Oh, and we can’t forget about the food. And the random nicknames. And the facial expressions. You get the point.
I would also like to bring Leicester to the table. It's how we tell the tourists from the rest of the world.
Load More Replies...You want to see how they play Countdown in Wales. "I'll have a consonant please, another consonant, and another." "That's 8 consonants, are you sure you want another." "Why not?!"
Part of the issue that a lot of non-Welsh-speaking folks have is that they don't realise there are seven vowels in Welsh: A, E, I, O, U, W, and Y.
Load More Replies...I'm positive that the Welsh language was conceived purely to spite the British. 🤔
If you want a cute and heartwarming video about pronunciation of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxO0UdpoxM
Is this the one with Tennant and Sheen? I love that one!
Load More Replies...Plenty in all of those words - W and Y are vowels in Welsh.
Load More Replies...why would one need wifi at the beach... ?????????????????, surely one is surfing or frolicking,or kicking sand in the face of skinny blokes..........water and electronics arent a good mix
Yeah, made me laugh. You can see Cornwall at the bottom.

F**k it just googled him because I couldn't remember his name. I'm not going to promote him as he's a sex criminal.
Load More Replies...What a beautiful girl. She must be ready because the only thing that hates water more is a goat
same here! I stupidly thought you would be driving through it not stuck on a car train
So you are inside your car which is a metal box, inside the shuttle which is a metal box, inside the tunnel which is a metal box, with the whole Channel on top of your head? *breathes into paper bag* yeah I don’t see anything that could go wrong there.
To be fair, I think the tunnel is concrete and passes through (mostly) solid rock - not water.
Load More Replies...On our school trips, the bus/coach driver would wind the kids up by saying they could look out the windows and see fish. Some of them, 16 year olds, actually believed him.
So, why is the UK so popular as a subject for memes? We briefly discussed this in another UK memes article right here on Bored Panda, where Very Brexit Problems founder Joel Willans pointed out that there are several reasons behind the popularity.
For one, the UK has great influence on the modern world because of its past—colonialism, the Industrial Revolution, as well as its culture and language playing a key part in it.
He looks much older than 14, and like he is disappointed with something! LOL
You may be dressed like one, but you don't look like one. In fact you don't look enough like a self serving rabble rousing cockwomble to be any kind of politician
*pounces the nearest cockwomble*
Load More Replies...Pretty sure this is Merrion Street in Dublin so not the UK. https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.3392317,-6.2525812,3a,60y,195.56h,89.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDvQT7Ejm-8Tn3GnCTRXKsQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
They were a very anti-European, pretty racist overall, right-wing political party led by Nigel Farage (who I think did manage to seep his way over to the States - sorry about that). Apparently they still exist (though not led by Nigel Farage any more), which I genuinely had to look up because they went pretty quiet after the Brexit vote. You wouldn't be far off equating them to Republicans, tbh. (edit: their colour is purple, so the kid's tie is really lending itself to the UKIP vibe)
Load More Replies...Even down to the purple tie. Disgusted that UKIP adopted purple as their colour
Yeah. Character is most important. So shame him for living in luxury off the taxpayers’ money while people go hungry.
Load More Replies...Don't know why you get downvoted. He does. The smile looks unnatural, like he is just exposing his teeth.
Load More Replies...what i dont get is there was no in-between, no transition period. It's like he just woke up one day like that
What even is so bad about a guy getting a bit bald? Happens to, like, 50 % of the population in any place that allows to age beyond like 30.
It's not the baldness, it's the way he went from being an attractive youth to being an extremely plain man.
Load More Replies...not me googling Arthur Philip Dent - don't come at me!!
Load More Replies...He clearly had things to do and people too see, and he wasn't gonna let ANYTHING stop him!
The linguistic legacy is also a significant factor in all of this. For one, because it’s a lingua franca—a common language of billions, providing vast potential for puns and wordplay and hence epic memes. But pair that up with the idea that memes are a form of communication (and pair it up also with the historical significance of the culture) and people are sure to share them.
You got 4 all tooled up then the lad at the end trying to work out what to do with his hands lol
Kinda like the chief marketing strategy of hanging a small display of condoms off the shelf in front of the diapers.
Try and do this in America and Durex would get sued for discrimination or culture shaming or some such. 🙄 (I'm an American so don't yell at me about 'Murica bashing.)
Totally! American here as well and usually ashamed to be. Everything "triggers" someone and nobody can take a joke.
Load More Replies...We had groups of scrotes like that in my neighbourhood too a few years back...
This feels more like protection for women against scary blokes in alleyways with weapons... Than it does for 'let's not create more dickheads' 😲😆
That's like my mother who set up an e card to remind me to wish myself happy birthday and had the e-card sent to herself instead.
Also the smile you give when walking past someone in the office when you’ve already done the whole ‘good morning!’ thing.
And when you see someone in the supermarket you know and have already said hello. Then keep passing them down each section. The horror.
Load More Replies...And sarcastically saying 'thank youuuuu' when they don't indeed thank you.
I find, "you're f***ing welcome!", a whole lot more satisfying.
Load More Replies...the "i have no interest in interacting with you, but i don't want to appear rude as i ignore you," smile
The face all introverted polite people make...everytime they see another person.
That is actually the face we pull when about ten people have gone through the door and nobody has said thank you and nobody has taken over.
But, above all, folks online can't help but appreciate British humor. After all, just look at all these UK-focused meme pages out there—it’s a gold mine.
It’s irony, sarcasm, and self depreciation—very appropriate strokes of humor as far as internet culture goes. Throw in some unexpected punchlines and absurdity into the mix, slap on an appropriate visual, and you’re set.
When he takes the rubber glove off his head and Wallace gasps.."You!!!"
He is probably the greatest villain in the history of British Cinema.
Grommet, these are the wrong trousers! God bless Peter Sallis. It'll never be the same without him.
True, but excuse me saying, it's Gromit. Thank you.
Load More Replies...When I first moved to USA and asked for the plasticine at school, the two kids at my table looked at me like I had three heads.
How? The same way they made Gromit the greatest silent actor since Charlie Chaplin, mate!
I haven't recovered from my last trip to Lidl. Came back with enough gear to equip a medium sized garage, but failed to buy any food. Anyone need an air compressor and a 4 post lift?
I went in there once for some brioche burger buns (so much cheaper than Sainsburys or Tescos) and came out with a platform dolly that was only a tenner, a felt cat bed, and an arty box of drawing charcoal! Money well spent.
Load More Replies...And they did it before scanning became standard. The cashiers knew every price out of their head, it was essential to strategically place the Wednesday-specials on the belt, otherwise you were doomed. There was no storage space behind the cashiers, everything was immediately shovelled in the cart at the ready (empty cart of the previous customer)
And they still manage to talk to customers and recognise regulars
Load More Replies...Certainly not if you try packing. I fling them into one of the shallow trolleys
Load More Replies...Nuts! Tell me how Lidl is able to sell nuts so cheap when any other supermarket sells them for twice the price?!
Depends on who made the mince. Auntie Janet, yes please. Auntie Eunice, oh I've just had tea thanks
Load More Replies...Don't knock it til you've tried it - mince n tatties is an awesome meal when made correctly - full of flavour, warm and fillings - perfect for a winter dinner. Now I want it for my dinner
My step mother makes this a few times a year though we usually do Tattie scones rather than boiled potatoes and it is genuinely delicious and like 1.50 to make. Truly a treat every time I get the chance.
Load More Replies...Mince and Potatoes were a very popular meal. Even the very fancy Dean Street Townhouse has/had it on the menu. You do realise it's just a Cottage (or shepherds) Pie without the spuds mashed!?
Nowt wrong with that. Throw some pastry at it and you've got yourself a mince and tattie pie.
This is mince and tatties, a popular comfort food dish in Scotland. However, the tatties (po-ta-toes) have not yet been mashed.)
that's a cottage pie someone was too hungry to finish making...still mash the potatoes at least..
Ultimately, memes are a mode of communication—or at least it has become so in the modern world. It’s a way to express culturally relevant ideas, whether it is just for giggles or with a higher purpose in mind. Mostly giggles, yes, but as a social phenomenon—one that relates to cultures and subcultures and can spread rapidly—it has found itself as a more serious form of communication.
When I read this with my American English I thought there was a fight at a school run by Dolly Parton on the lawn.

So far that is "twerp" and "muppet" I'll be adding to my vocabulary.
Well it's just banter mate really you little f*****g stoned twat if you want a scrap I'll give it you, yeah
Should've said laying bricks instead, and maybe he'd have figured it out.
I hate you... now I have this on the brain... f***ings muppets song
Load More Replies...Besides laughs, memes can also be used for viral marketing. It taps into the same potential for rapid spread and relatability to achieve business goals of advertising and spreading awareness of the brand among current and future customers.
Memes tend to elicit better reactions from audiences because of their nature of being fit for social media. That, and the shareability puts memes in a situation where it’s criminal for companies to ignore.
H.. h.. how does KFC run out of chicken? As an American this is incomprehensible.
I'm in the US, and we HAD a KFC in our town. They were always running out of different pieces. Had to negotiate replacement parts on the spot if you were ordering a bucket.
Load More Replies...We used to have a KFC in my hometown! I knew somebody who worked there. He opened the building one morning and walked in to discover that half of the kitchen was gone. A sinkhole had opened under the building. The building was, of course, demolished, and the land was eventually sold and rebuilt on. It's a bank now. The safety deposit boxes (including my parents' box) are directly over the old sinkhole. I really wish I was kidding.
Fights broke out within the first month in my old neighborhood between the masked and the anti-masked. I knew this was going to be one hellava long ride.

Load More Replies...Erm, pardon? IKEA does have some of the most brilliantly named product ranges... 🤣
Yep, all of them come from words in Swedish. So when Swedes go into any IKEA around the world, they feel like they have come home!
Load More Replies...My nanny walked out of Woolworths (which has long since gone in the UK) with an umbrella tucked under her arm, they caught up with her and she was devastated. That was in the 90s though and now you can pretty much just help yourself.
I did this on checkout because I was busy yapping. Got home, noticed no receipt, went rushing back to pay. They were waiting for me.. we all had a good laugh. Never done it again and am very careful when it’s time to pay.
I wore a bizarre sweater with loose, fringy sleeves to the mall one day. Went into a shop, went through the bins of jewelry, didn't find anything I'd actually spend my money on, and left. It wasn't until I was halfway through the mall that I realized I had a couple pairs of earrings caught on a sleeve. I did not go back.
At Target, they'll let you steal until you have stolen enough to reach a felony level and then they arrest you. This is in the USA.
I wonder who started this internet rumor. Maybe it was Target themselves. Both CVS & Target are starting to have some of their fear-mongering shoplifting stories questioned, because financials don't lie. Either way, it's a silly story to tell for multiple reasons. 1) there would be no way to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that was the same person in the security video each time. 2) w/o stopping & searching the shoplifter each time, it would be tough to prove what the person actually had in their possession when they walked out. Those of us who've worked retail can definitely vouch for cameras' blind spots. 3) felonies regularly get dropped to misdemeanors. 4)Targets are not mom n pop bodegas. Each store is huge and shoplifting is often a slight of hand. Even with cameras everywhere, it would be a tough task to monitor, catch, and tally. Bullsh*t Target, bullsh*t Walmart, the biggest thief is you for your profit margin & what you pay your workers. The call is coming from inside the ho
Load More Replies...Another non-giggle aspect of memes is how it can be used to advance human rights and socially-responsible agendas. Not too long ago, Bored Panda covered another meme page—Misandrist Memes.
On the surface, it’s a page that shares memes about how and why men are just the worst. But underneath it all, it’s a satirical stream of memes that sheds light on the need to push for equal rights among genders.
Arnold Schwarzenegger explained. He said on Oprah something like "It's true, money doesn't bring happiness. Now that I have 13 million I'm no happier than I was when I had 4 million".

Pure ethanol is 4.53 liter based on 5% beer 90.6 l.

Too expensive to get drunk regularly in Scandi countries.
Load More Replies...I'm guessing it's not the stew which deserves the warning, but the chef. Possibly in the vein of Susan from "My Family"? 😁
Ultimately, in the case of UK memes, it’s a celebration of all things British in practically one of the very few ways the internet knows how. And that is memes.
Between all the laughs, you learn a thing or two about the country, its history, social, cultural and political aspects, and then it likely becomes a fact or a gag you casually throw out at a party to impress friends.
And that’s how it starts. You just shared it.
It's a ROYAL WEDDING. If you won't dress up for that, you won't dress up for anything. Though she's a nun, she basically isn't allowed to dress up. And I guess her feet hurt.

Nobody woukd say that in uk. Too cold for great whites. Only a pale pom at bondi woukd say that. Sharks think they are croutons
I had a friend who was moving to Australia with her partner for a year, we found a video of a woman walking her dog. A crocodile or alligator went to grab the dog and she straight up whacked it on the nose with her flip flop, picked up her dog and kept walking - she never did turn into that woman but came back completely unbothered by spiders

I’m trying to figure out how one accidentally gets a photo like this when one wants a passport pic…
He did it in the photo booth. In the UK one of their original purposes was for passport photos, it was only later that the fun stuff was added. I am guessing he just couldn't figure out the options, or maybe atomic kitten was what the person before him took

When people go missing here in Australia, we know that either the crocs, the cassowaries or the outback got 'em. Or occasionally, a serial killer. But we're a huge country with a lot of empty space.

We've said sorry for the Kardashians. I don't know what else to do.

As an American I absolutely don’t consider her British culture. But you can keep her.
Look, I know what your gig is here, No_nuance. And it’s a good one! Well done, you! But…please stop. Every time I read one of your comments, I can feel my will to live leaking out like a slow leak on an old bike tyre. 😢 😉

I'm watching Outlander right now and all I could hear was Jamie Fraser's voice when I was reading that dad's text! Ahahaha
Not in the North! My friends there do meat, a couple of veg, and potatoes, all from scratch.Their idea of fast food is the excellent local fish & chip shop
Haven't got kids but if I did they wouldn't be eating this cr@p.
Hate baked beans, but otherwise- I'm in! (Maybe some sauce too though lol)
Baked beans are a British delicacy ! (Are you British??)
Load More Replies...Smileyface biscuits! How British! In the U.S. they'd be smothered in the beans.
I actually wish they still had these in high school. 'My name is Maelynn. I like listening to music, and eating cheese.'
Shouldn't be downvoted. That's a quintisental American behavior, and a solid joke.

I bought one for my kids during covid so I could order online. Put it on my self from time to time for nostalgia!
I used to work for Clarks right when they stopped using the massive measurer that closed in on your foot from all sides and moved to one that you simply stood on. Worst upgrade ever.
I remember them, if I'm right, they had a light up screen that showed your shoe size . . .

Load More Replies...But nigel its a movie about the strength of diversity and non conformity as well as opressed groups seeking justice and those in power learning to give respect and both parties meaningfully cooperating. Oh it also features an interspecies relationship and offers a scathing critique of unchecked capitalism. You hate that Nigel remember?

Once, I went to a bar with a terrible beer selection, got flustered, and ordered a Stella. I'll never make that mistake again.
Had a Stella apple once. It was delicious. Had a plain Stella a month later and about lost my lunch. Haven't seen the Stella apple since.

Oh dear- gross and sad (considering the way their relationship ended!)
16 is consensual here. Age gap still not recommended but you can do it.

I remember Prince Charles saying that. He also said that when they met up for the second time many years later that they both had to be reminded that they had met before.
"What a sad little life, Jane" is the funniest. https://youtu.be/uYhSpi-KPwg?si=OQw-68BbNofPnK44
I remember that one. I still think the funniest one was someone having a major tantrum and shouting at everyone because he didn't win, all "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THOUGHT HIS FOOD WAS BETTER THAN MINE! GET OUT!" I hope they look back on their TV appearance and are rightfully embarrassed by their childish tanty.
How did I not know this!?- I can't decide if this would have been awesome or a terrible mistake!?- are Royals allowed to be rockstars as well?!
It would have been an awesome terrible mistake. Or a terribly awesome mistake.

Its not particularly healthy but its healthier than starving thats for sure
Load More Replies...Don't feed the ducks bread. If they can't find food, they'll move on to a place where they can.
Nah thats not true at all. Most of these are domestic breeds or habituated to humans and just starve to death in the winter
Load More Replies...Nasty, cruel hobbitses. They don't care if we should starve. They don't care if we should die!"
Ughhh. B******t like this is why we have to do soooo much education on not feeding wildlife. 😓 Ducks lack amylade, the enzyme to process starch. So eating bread fills their stomach with something they can't digest or extract nutrition from. Plus when ducklings eat starchy foods they can get skeletal deformities that prevent them from flying. Ducks have evolved to eat aquatic plants, invertebrates and small animals. If they have access to water, they can't starve. And if these are domestic ducks, no reason why they shouldn't be properly fed.
It’s got a built-in fuse, it won’t pull out of the wall and it won’t catch fire.
As a European (we have 2 circular pins), only thing that annoys me about these is that you can't plug something in upside down. The top plug and the two black thingies make the British plug the safest plug in the world though and I'm willing to pay the price for that.
Not quite. We have the two pins on top but they are angled like an arrow with the point cut off and not all plugs have the third bottom pin.
Load More Replies...It makes more sense and is safer than the European or especially American ones that have no ground.
Our three pin sockets are ridiculously safe though. You can stick a fork in it with no danger. There's literally no point baby proofing them (except to protect them against being jammed full of banana, I suppose)
It's actually better to NOT baby proof them. If the baby proof thing breaks with the earth pin in place, the live and neutral sockets could be exposed. Likewise if a toddler pulls the baby-proof cover partially off, they can expose the open sockets. Or if they pull the cover off and insert it upside down into only the earth socket, they expose live and neutral. Much safer to simply leave them be.
Load More Replies...At least they have switches. Most places you have to actually pull the cord out of the wall.
looks a lot like the specialty plug for my stove/oven and the washer/dryer combo. is it a 220?
It has a ground built in. So not only is it normal, but also superior. I'm not a Brit btw.
Look... He's got a serious pose on, and I expect he's just showing that he's travelled and not just to a Spanish party town... See the lads below.
It's basically just a very inappropriate place to pose for a picture.

Think they made a count how many MPs were asleep, or for other reasons permanently resting their eyes, during session a few years ago. Absolutely mental.
To be fair to Starmer, this was during PMQs, so I doubt very much he was asleep or even had his eyes closed more than a couple of seconds, as he's quite heavily involved in it!

I'm a Brummie, and my accent is very different from Wolverhampton. The stereotypical Brummie accent you usually hear on TV (think Peaky Blinders) isn't a Brummie accent at all and is closer to a black country accent. (Side note for any non- Brits reading this- it's called the black country because the smoke from the mines used to turn the air black and nothing to do with race 😆)
My boss is from Wolverhampton, sometimes I feel I've never learnt to speak english. Happily, my regional supervisor has litteraly the BBC accent
My mum was born in Liverpool and grew up in Birmingham - an interesting combination, to say the least.
My mum moved from Sheffield, Yorkshire, at 18 years old, to settle with my dad in Birmingham. They then retired and moved to live in North Wales. She's 84 now, and hasn't lost her Yorkshire accent, even after learning the Welsh language. 😄
Load More Replies...I'd like to know too. People stop abusing the downvote. People here are from all over the world, and none of us have all the same culture exposure to understand every joke or innuendo.

Hol' up... American football or euro football? Cause there's a HUGE difference.

Load More Replies...The couple on the right are a fictional couple from a sit com called Gavin and Stacy (also staring James Cordon who I think co-wrote it). The couple on the right are a real couple (the McCan's) whose 3 yo daughter was abducted whilst they were on holiday in Portugal about 17 years ago and was never found. It was very tragic and the police are still looking.
Don't forget to add they left their children on their own while they went for food and drink. Not very good parents but because they were doctors they got to keep their other children and Social service never got involved
Load More Replies...The two on the left, Gavin and Stacey, from the sitcom Gavin and Stacey, are unrelated to but look somewhat alike to the couple on the left, the parents of missing child Madeleine McCann. It's a cruel joke. I don't know much about the sitcom , just googled it but I'm guessing Gavin and Stacey were a couple? Maybe a Brit can provide further explanation
Load More Replies...I’m American but I love British culture so much. It’s so funny in contexts like this.
Here’s the thing about these articles. All the ones about America are always bashing it. Basically saying “Here’s why America and all its citizens are the absolute worst”, but all the ones about Europe are lightly making fun of its culture and drinking and mostly just include jokes.
