This is going bak to 1920s/1930s , my grandad was super punctual, would cycle to work and ring little bell saying goodbye to kids. One morning he got roared at by neighbour , unbeknownst to Gradda ( our name for him in family) , this neighbour used the bike bell as him alarm clock. On the one mornkng he didn’t ring it, the neighbour slept through and was late for work . And as I said, he gave my grandad one heck of a shouting to!
How about a silent nod, a queenlike helicopter wave, and a toodle oo.
Exactly lol isn’t hard is it, mind u im welsh , we dont beat around the bush like England does ,we tell it like it is .

When you guys say youre "having a cup of tea with friends" is this literal like meet up real quick to drink a hot tea and is it always tea? Or is this like how Americans say "hang out" is tea time a particular time? What if youre not at home (like work at tea time) or aren't social. If I invite someone over for a cup of tea, do I make them hot tea, we drink it and then they know to leave bc I got stuff to do? Is this an everyday thing? Are you expected to feed them too. Like i cant take 2hrs out of my day, every day, to make hot tea and lil sandwiches for my neighbor Carol.
I am not british but my understanding is this: Of course there is formal tea time, just about 5 p.m., but you can get tea and scones throughout all day. And then there is the question 'Do you fancy a cup of tea / cuppa?" and this can be asked at any time and in any situation. You are sad? Cup of tea. You are ill? Cup of tea. You just had a car crash? Cup of tea. You are soaking wet because of the rain? Cup of tea. You got promoted? Guess what. It is an answer to all issues of life and a moment of peace. And yes, it may start with a cup of tea, but there is no rule about lenghts and other activities. To all our british friends: Would you be so kind to correct me if it is necessary? Thank you.

I'd just do what I do at parties and slip away when no one is looking. No words said.
Right, well thanks for the cuppa, I had better be going, ( stands up with leg slap) … oh s h I t, I failed didn’t I?
That’s a very Midwest American thing too. The old welp! And slap the thighs. If you’re with a partner add a “shall we?”
[Yaw-w-w-nnn, stretch] "It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun."
[slaps thighs] Right, well, best I make a move, the missus wants stuff from the shop so I'd better be going. Catch you next time, eh? [task failed successfully]
Truth be told, my continued attendance depends upon the type and quantity of tea on offer. If it's good (Tetley, PG, one of the regulars) and they're up for another mug, then so am I. I'd actually be more shocked at anybody inviting this oddball in the first place.

Not allowed to say those words ,no issues soz dogs need out n leave 🤷♀️or bye then n go !
We had to have the milkman put our milk under a large flowerpot to stop the great t i t s from stealing the cream.
Geese are the best guard dogs going ! I’m farm born n bred,n our dogs were to herd sheep etc, the geese were the security,evil b u g g e rs they are 🤣
U.S. South enters chat. "I beg your finest pardon ma'am?! Would like my beg to differ on the record please."
Admit it. You were only being polite when you asked, you didn't actually want to know.
His Majesty's Revenue and Customs for those not familiar with the term. Basically, the tax man.
In Estonia we get the - Oh someone drove drunk and crashed on this road a year ago - better put up a speed limit of 70km/h on this kilometer for all eternity. And If there is ever the second accident they will reduce it to 50km/h. And put up a speed cam. I live in fear for the moment when there will be a third accident on the major highway I need to take 2 times per day. They will probably make people come out of the cars and push.
The six weeks too hot is just a collective lie told upon their return, to anyone who left the country for the summer. The reality is usually maybe a week. After which they declare a drought.
11 year sun activity cycle is at the max. More active the sun, more northern lights and more south they get
They gave up in 2016. They didn't even get to the debacle of 2022.

I would be honoured to have any of my meals in any given day with him!
They take all the chicken McBits that are left over from other processes put it in the McGrinder and then bread and McFry them. They have a weird texture when you bite into them. Not my McFavorite.
While I really don't care and am very hazy on what is happening, I rather enjoy watching co workers excitedly swap opinions. Much better than most other stuff going on. I don't watch strictly either, but it's nice to see people getting passionate. I did watch celebrity traitors, so I could fully join in for once - it was fun.
Just putting Heights and Wuthering in a sentence, then putting a picture of a random American "singer" doesn't really mean anything! Edit, why the downvote? I have no idea who the guy is and he is in what looks like America! Thought this was about British humour. I'm confused.
I’m never sure if these ‘writers’ are real people or not, but if he’s real that was fun.
