Screenshot Of UK Life: 45 ‘Great British Memes’ That Perfectly Capture British Humor (New Pics)

Don't worry, he always sticks around

Unfortunately MIA, doubt he wants to be found

Madge the Marker

Quixote the Quill pen?

It was Internet Explorer?

I am in my parking space contemplating life, some call it the M62

It's a truly terrifying road too....mostly massive lorries weaving in and out when it's heavy rain conditions and then casual dickheads racing each other. I've had too many close encounters on there that I'd rather spend hours travelling the backroads than spend even a minute on it.

As a very old man, I can attest to this being likely...

ah bless you Tabby. Your expertise makes you, what? an expert? not taking into account dialects, or regional lingo. Im sure the cashier is anything but slow

Yeah, I'm in the South-West of England and "how's it going?" Is a standard request for how a letter/parcel/package is to be delivered.

It’s the cashier asking how the package is to be sent due to cost differences not the customer. Where I’m from ‘how’s it going?’ Refers to ‘how are you doing?’ In everyday speech with people you are familiar with

Way to ruin the enthusiasm with some reality, George.

They should get a snuddie

really? How many is 'many'? Whats the population size?

Exactly this is what I never get from all those hints and tips that tell you to put more layers on etc. mate, my house will be covered in mould in 2 days if I don’t put the heating on!

My dad did a major expansion on the house I grew up in and put in two large south facing windows with a properly calculated overhang so they get sun in the winter and shade in the summer. He also insulted well and used good windows. The old house had forced air and was still often too cold, but the new section had places to put heating ducts that were never actually installed because even in notoriously not-so-sunny Portland, we never needed them in that part of the house.

I'm now in an apartment and same, but a couple of years ago I was in a UK Victorian terrace house. They were built to have a constant fire in the grate. Damp City if you turn the heating off, my bills have reduced by about half.

My wife got to do it once a year as part of her licence when she was cabin crew.

I heard on Air Crash Investigation that one pilot (Richard DeCrespigny, who’s my favourite because of how he explains stuff) had the opportunity to deploy the slide but didn’t because a small percentage of evacuees get hurt, so if it’s safe to get off the plane without using it, you should.

But not with heels on!

No you wouldn't ; I've had to do it 3 times - don't ask - it was traumatic, scary and in two of the 3 bloody painful (broken arm and knee). Not to mention in 2 of the cases it was in absolutely vile weather - wet, extremely blowy and cold, not ideal when you are only wearing travelling clothes !!!

I've heard you do NOT want to go down that thing in shorts or a skirt. There is a section on the end to abruptly stop you and apparently it's like sliding over sandpaper.

A great many people get hurt on those things (probably better than burning to death in the plane, though).

Agreed

"Well, mum's here, but she's a bit busy at the moment."

Haha this happened to me too. I have a lisp making pronouncing certain words really impossible for me so when I talk, especially on the phone, I do sound like a kid. I had to call an ambulance for my grandma on two separate occasions (first time I was actually still 16/17 years old). My parents were home at both times but they were busy attending to my grandma so had me call emergency services. Both times I had the operator ask me to hand over the phone to my parents. Well tbh me being unable to answer some neighbourhood details like the closest police station to my house, etc (they need that information in case there’s a criminal case involving the emergency call) did not help establish my “adult” status. It sucks having a lisp :(
