Cultures just don’t form themselves instantly or by accident. They’re systems built over time, where people share meanings, habits, and behaviors that create social cohesion and a sense of togetherness.

So it's no surprise we have stereotypes too. Like how we joke that Italians only eat pasta, or how the French love baguettes. Or how the British drink obscene amounts of tea. But, well, some of these do end up being true, which can lead to funny situations people share online. So, here are some hilarious tweets about what life is like in lil ol’ England.
