Title: The 25 Worst Things A British Person Could Ever Hear
Post by: viper37 on February 27, 2015, 10:07:18 AM
I thought it was funny, mostly because of the animated gifs they used :)

One of those silly lists... (http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/no-nandos-black-card#.beyM4aE9Rg)

This was the only funny one:

9. "There's a rail replacement bus service."

:weep:

The worst thing a Torontonian could ever hear ... a weather report from pretty well anywhere else.  :cry:

Sometimes, Buzzfeed just shouldn't post anything at all.

It's horrible, no matter where you are.

The night bus thing also applies to Vienna. Fortunately, the subways are going 24 hours on weekends now.

I'm so sick of modern British pop culture talking about this Nandos thing so much. It only really appeared since I moved abroad so I've never had it.

11 betrays that this speaks of Londoners, not Brits in general. I'd have killed for a night bus when I lived in the UK.

This list is meh

The two actual worst things to tell a British person on the internet:

1. 'Here is a Youtube video of me speaking with a British accent.  Totally authentic right?'

2. 'You know something really great about the UK?  Well let me tell you...'

14, 3 and 21 are also true. On the other hand I've literally never heard anyone say 21.

They don't say 'soft drink' in Britain?  What do they say?  Maybe we should find one of those soda maps.

Half of them seem related to how much Brits like their booze. They don't even drink that much.
