Picking on Brits a Bit

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

I don't even know what an electric kettle is

And I sure as hell don't need to know.

Oooooooh - a spot of pommie bashing !
I'm afraid in these enlightened, woke times we're NOT allowed to do that anymore in Oz
We just invite them over for a game of cricket and beat them.

There, fixed that for you.

Maybe, because I have no idea what a porkie is,

Porkie: a pork pie rhyming slang for a lie

I didn't realize yall had mobile homes.

Sooooo, no one thinks carpet in British bathrooms is weird?

No! Thant is a BAD thing.

No! Thant is a BAD thing.

Loved it when my folks did that. Barefoot on tiles on a winter's morning was suboptimal.

They don't have two sinks, but they do have two faucets in a sink. Why do they have isolated hot and cold water faucets?

Why doesn't half and half exist?

Why don't they have dentists?

I think most would agree this was a pretty good British product :

Lady Astor "If I were married to you , I'd put poison in your tea !"
Churchill "Madam , if I were married to you , I'd drink it "

During the war? Certainly. Otherwise? That's complicated... in fact, my city lost him his seat in parliament. But now we're definitely straying into political territory. In an effort to avoid doing so, I'm going to share this video before I go to bed. Maybe matching Churchill drink for drink and cigar for cigar for a day is something folk on this forum might like to try :P

Of course the Aussie b*stards got rather good at cricket because in the penal colonies of New South Wales there was not much else to do, apart from abusing sheep.

I'm afraid you're confusing us Aussies with them across the ditch ie the Kiwis

One of my favourite Dundonian phrases from my grandad (which will likely go over the heads of everyone here who doesn't know Scottish geography) is "It taks a lang spoon tae sup wi a Fifer"

We’re a Jock Tamson’s bairns.

We just invite them over for a game of cricket

And in three weeks when the match is finally over?

Caravans!

And how can you have neither baseball or football?

My boy came home a few years back, with a permission slip for playing soccer.

I sat him down and explained to him how soccer was invented by European men, so they would have something to do while their wives were at work... And that we would have none of that in our house.

The not washing eggs thing is a weird one... They come of a chickens ass

And they say the PMSS Thread is weird

 

[sablebrush52]

My question is, why do y’all drive on the wrong side of the road?

And in three weeks when the match is finally over?

When the Poms are dying of sunstroke and terminal dehydration (cricket is, of course, a summer sport in the Antipodes) they head back to the sheds for a cool ale or 30.
And kill them off from alcoholic poisoning.

But of course in these enlightened and woke times, that is also not allowed

All their pipes look alike but fortunately they came up with a complicated hallmark system to distinguish them from each other.
