50 Incredibly British Pics That Show The Hilarious And Casual Side Of Life In The UK (New Pics)
We hope you’ve got your Earl Grey and scones ready, Pandas, because things are going to get incredibly British here, awfully quickly, and we all need to look the part. Quick question though, do you put the jam or the cream on your scones first? Don’t panic if you don’t know—it took for the news about how the Queen does it herself to get out in order to settle the debate.
One of the best places to get a broad view of life in the United Kingdom is the r/CasualUK subreddit. A community of nearly 1.2 million members, the online group is proud to share what being a Brit is really about. The moments they share range from the thoroughly hilarious to the wholesome, and everything in between (including some saucy jokes here and there [wink, wink, nudge, nudge]). Scroll down for the best pics that are as British as Brits can be.
If you happen to live in the UK or you’ve spent time there, let us know what you love about the culture and the people the most. And don’t shy away from telling us about the things you found bizarre, either. Once you’ve enjoyed this list to the fullest and finished upvoting all of your fave pics, take a peek at our earlier features about r/CasualUK here: Part 1 and Part 2. That way, you’ll have something to entertain you during afternoon tea as well.
Bored Panda got in touch with comedy writer and all-around talented creator Ariane Sherine, from London, to get to grips with the British character, the UK's cuisine, and why weather is such an important topic. She also revealed how the Brits have reacted to the apocalyptic heatwave this week. Read on to see what she told us.

Ah, hey, no biggie, I'm sure she won't mind ; personally, I've enquired if it's legal to have me dismembered after I've popped my clogs and burned to a crisp in my garden incinerator - apparently, it's frowned upon .... hey ho, looks like the Mrs is going to have to dig multiple holes around the county then ....

We're self deprecating over here. If we're being honest, there's nothing anybody else can say about us that we haven't said ourselves but worse!

Just wondering where all the offended Brits are screaming blue murder? Every time there is a post about the USA, the 'Murican contingent (Most of the guys from the USA play along and are fine with the banter, you guys are not 'Muricans) shout and cry about how unfair it and how anti US BP is because they missed the joke. Do we not have a UK version of these 'Muricans?

Most of this is just quirky, funny things about the UK. If the USA posts were like that, I don't think you'd see people getting irate. The USA posts are more like "look at what a dystopian hellscape the US is becoming." With comments along the lines of "Those Americans are clearly idiots. Don't they know better?" The majority of us do, but we have a poorly-formed system of government that is not democratic. The minority is in charge. Bribery is legal. We live in an oppressive oligarchy. When people talk about other folks living under abusive regimes, they get sympathy. When it's Americans, well they clearly are just too stupid. The "Murican" contingent here isn't blindly waving the flag. They're not defending what's going on here. They're asking you to have a shred of sympathy for their suffering.
