Things Americans Find Quirky About the British

The British win hands-down for the title of Oddest Culture I’ve Ever Seen!  These are a few of the quirks I’ve come across… got any more to add?

  1. Public Footpaths.  You mean you can trespass on someone’s property anytime you want? 😮
  2. Bathrooms located off the kitchen – I can see my American friends turning green!
  3. The hundred ways to say one thing (which I find very interesting!).
  4. Being told it’s ok to burn someone in effigy and holding a celebration every year to do it!
  5. Voting for a new Prime Minister pretty much whenever you want to.
  6. Having traditions that no one understands and no one remembers why they even exist!
  7. Spending $100 to fill your gas tank and thinking it’s normal!
  8. Long-held feuds about how to add clotted cream and jam to your scone.
  9. How Jimmy Savile got so popular!
  10. A guy has to bang three times on the door of the House of Commons only to have it shut in his face.
  11. Mushy peas and black pudding.
  12. That all of Britain could fit into Texas over three times!
