As a Brit I can confirm this is accurate.

It isn't clear to me. Does this means that your shit can be identified as the queen, or that your shit invades the queen's personal space?

[–]TheDarkness3 16 points17 points ago

In a literal sense, the queen was actually formed from one of his bowel movements.

As a Brit, and a posh one, I'd just like everyone to know I've never met, seen or drunk tea with anyone looking like this.

Including at the Queen's garden party.

[–]Squeaky_Lobster 31 points32 points ago

I choked on my cucumber sandwich and my monocle popped out and fell in my tea when I saw that. Proper good chuckle, I do say so myself old chap.

[–]ZettaSlow 13 points14 points ago

I love how the only people who talk like this are the Americans pretending to be British on the Internet.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Although, as an actual Brit, I do love cucumber in my sandwiches and I usually have a cup of tea (albeit sometimes empty) on my desk all day.

As for old chap; I say that sometimes offline, although it may be somewhat sarcastic or ironic in nature.

[–]loathing 4 points5 points ago

Is an empty cup of tea not just an empty cup?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It usually has a small amount of left over tea in it. I always leave the bottom of the tea due to bad experiences as a child where I drank tea that was from an unfiltered kettle.

Enough limescale to last me a lifetime.

[–]Stratocaster89 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Limescale is a worry for the 1980's, up your game bro.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My grandmother was the one serving the tea, and it was the early 90s. Somehow though, even now, she still gets it in her teapots.

[–]SkeazyPotatoes 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Depends where you are in the uk. If you're in a soft water area, limescale isn't too bad. But a hard water are? You need a new bloody kettle every few months!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The south most of my life, apparently we had hard water in my area. So yeah, it was always a constant battle with it.

I moved to the midlands a few years back and it's not as hard here. But when I had the limescale incident, I was in the south.

[–]ohreilly 0 points1 point ago

I find I need a new shower head every few days. Unless you spend a while trying to unclog the nozzles.

If you leave it go, the shower starts to have a fit and goes from extremely hot to extremely cold every few seconds due to the back pressure (it's an electric shower).

I didn't have this problem for several years when I lived in the deep South West. Now I am currently in Reading where I'm surprised you can't write on a blackboard with the amount of crap in the water.

[–]Jimothyscrye 2 points3 points ago

The obvious response to this is a question: Who was the most terribly, stereotypically British person you encountered at that garden party or any posh British event?

[–]tomllm 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Definitely a Cavalry (Blues and Royals) officer. He was only a major, but did the full General Melchett. The accent was if anything posher - he went to Winchester rather than Eaton (as did my father). Alas, it'll take more of a connection than that to get me into that regiment, but I hope one of the others might after I graduate.

Edit for the uninitiated: the man in all his glory (but my apologies for the daft sepia editing

As an American, it delights me to know that people like that exist.

Surely the lowliest British public schoolboy can spell 'Eton'?

[–]tomllm 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Rofl, I thought it looked odd when I wrote that, but it was 2am and I just couldn't work it out. Us lowly public school boys have nothing to do with the very expensive schools - we travelled all over the UK playing rugby, but never to anywhere with extremely high fees. Definitely beneath them.

[–]razor3210 1 point2 points ago

As a boy from Winchester (I live there) I am of the opinion that most Winchester college boys are MASSIVE douche bags. Hopefully you have dodged that bullet, if not, you have my most sincere condolences.

This man is more of a Great White Hunter, who rubs elbows with the brown natives of whatever land he traverses in search of big game. Shitting out the Queen only happens on the rare trip back to Albion.

How have you got hold of my upcoming Summer Season look? I spent a whole afternoon squandering tea and cake upon Tarquin, Mister Jefferies and Derdrie Fuffington of Lie-CiesterSquare, just to garner their opinions. Dashed. Dashed to dirt.

[–]tomllm 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Manky old smoker I expect. And straight teeth weren't considered very important back in the 50s as there were more pressing concerns, like tuberculosis.

Do remember that orthodontic treatment is free in the UK. Most people under the age of 40 will have pretty good teeth, though unfortunately this does dip in lower socioeconomic areas. Also, I had braces for a long time, and didn't get a wire on my bottom teeth, which have have gone back to overlapping slightly :/ Still, I'm 23 and no sign of any fillings yet.
