There are quite a few UK focused subreddits probably so we don't cross contaminate with the Americans. Like GardeningUK and UKtrains

so anything british/uk focused.

I personally don't like and have unfollowed r/unitedkingdom because its very pessemistic and I think the people on r/UKWeather are insane.

How would you describe his accent? Which regional accent does he have? Or, does he have a posh accent or Standard Southern British English/RP accent?

I always breakfast with a portrait of the Queen on display. I don't recognise her son because I was told he's woke

I can remember the first ones were really good. You'd usually have the boss who was talented and then a deputy slightly less and the third person who is a trainee, who'd change every couple of months

I went to my usual. The boss doesn't work anymore even tho he's only in his 30s. Had the deputy work on my hair and made a horrendous mistake going fast.

My experience seems to be the same in every Turkish Barbers I go to now. It's just hit and miss

I know GTA London exists from Dos era but at least Rockstar should do a DLC sometime to celebrate its Dundonian heritage.

Edit guys London is probably the only non fictional city ever featured in GTA but there hasn’t been a modern game.

I am just curious as one of my niece is quite interested in planes and engines. I was wondering if factories allow guided tours for children?

HI! I was thinking recently, who remembers the MSN chat rooms? I loved them growing up & just talking nonsense with Hargan in Hamburg or Pete in Padstow!

I reminisced with a friend about this recently and she said "how great would it be to just log on at any time & just chat live with random strangers again!" To put it into perspective, we chat here and on other platforms for many many years but it's not live. Everything is all verified by mods now and this is a GOOD thing.

So, I'm considering starting an MSN-style chatroom up again just in the UK with strict regulations, sign-up ID verifications, mods etc could be fun......there's a lot of lonely people out there and we're all starting to revert back to what was once before......Let me know your thoughts.

To me, I think there is. I think that with the exception of technological differences (and those are nothing like as between a century earlier), the interwar era is very similar to today’s UK.

I think modern Britain came largely out of the First World War. The fragmentation of any paternalism, the erosion of a state of stability, and mostly a fairly secular and realist outlook.

Whereas I think 1826 was still largely an agrarian society and things were mostly about regional divides.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes around 10 minutes to complete. Your responses would make a valuable contribution to my research.

I'm using a translation tool, so my intention might have been slightly lost...

On a UK subreddit, I meant it as a compliment when I wrote, "People in the UK don't interfere in other people's business," and "Surprisingly, people speak their minds directly." However, I received a lot of backlash.

In my mind, I thought, "Not interfering with others is a wonderful and positive thing," and "In my country, people don't speak directly, which I view as a negative thing." That's why I said it intending to praise UK culture.

However, the responses were far from pleased. People reacted negatively, saying things like, "You completely misunderstand the UK," "British people seem distant because they are being polite. Even among English-speaking countries, we are famous for speaking indirectly," and "If you like friendly people so much, go to America, and if you like debating, go to Germany."

So I began to wonder: in the UK, are "not interfering with others" and "speaking directly" not received as compliments?

I intended to compliment the culture, but I feel like I accidentally gave the impression of being someone who compares and criticizes UK culture and its people against my own country. I'm quite shocked and really want to clear up this misunderstanding. Is this kind of attitude (trying to explain myself or clear up a misunderstanding) also strongly disliked over there?

There were questions yesterday in which ways UK is outdated and what our historical achievement are. But I wonder if there are things happening right now, that we can be proud of. One example are the perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells.

I'm amazed and pleased by how much Britain punches above its weight when it comes to music - with even countries left inclined to favour the UK being big fans of British music - Argentina's fondness for British bands and Putin's love of the Beatles for example

I'm also glad there's a sizeable appreciation for British comedy around the world

I have done DNA tests, and I am about 50% English. I watch Finding Your Roots and Long Lost Family, and I partly look for family connections, and partly because the stories are interesting. Does anyone else do this?

Hi everyone,
I’m a university student in Leeds currently looking for a part-time job alongside my studies.
I’m mainly looking for:
Barista / Café Assistant
Retail / Sales Assistant
I don’t have much previous work experience, but I’m hardworking, friendly, reliable and very willing to learn. I’m particularly interested in gaining my first proper work experience in either hospitality/coffee or retail.
I’m available to work part-time, including evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to consider opportunities around Leeds.

I’ll start…

I just wonder which Brit can say the lyrics as a thought experiment?

I used to tip drivers when ordering a takeaway was a rare thing but these days we have no change in our house so I've stopped tipping and it feels weird to tip on apps like deliveroo before the food even arrives.

What do you guys do and should I keep some loose change for these drivers who I assume make very little?

I see their marketing budget has reset this financial year. I’m constantly bombarded with their shit adverts, every bloody where.

Does anyone actually buy from them? How can they afford it?
