The UK has given the world plenty: modern football, the World Wide Web, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones… and, of course, fish and chips. But one of its greatest exports might just be its sharp, unique sense of humor, the kind that can make people laugh from thousands of miles away.

To celebrate it, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest posts from the Instagram page UK Relatables. If you’re British, you might find yourself nodding along. And if you’re not, consider this your peek into the kind of banter that keeps the nation entertained online.

    Yeah, apart from the fact that those are mostly metal drain covers and covered with sand so the horses don't have a problem slipping on them. Quote, " Sand was used to cover drains and inspection covers on the ceremonial coronation route for safe passage of horses, not cover potholes." But that rather ruins your narrative doesn't it?
