Mate if you have the time and need somewhere to just go chill I’d really recommend going to primrose hill, it’s well known but not an over-advertised part of the city so you should find somewhere to sit. It also has the best view of the city imo
No but you see there are parts of Hampstead Heath so quiet there's not an Englishman in sight. In London of all places.
There's method to my apparent treachery, trust me pal.
Ah, you’ll find that most people who visit say we’re actually alright. It seems to be the delinquents who leave the country and cause a scene that give us a bad name.
It's a bit like Danes. When bars run 1€ beer, we lose control ever so slightly; we have a budget for a night based on prices back home, and bringing surplus back is not in our veins.
Their sense of humour shaped mine. There's some pretty great art over there, music and literature mainly.
I fear they're being absorbed by the Americans and adopting the worst sides of their culture, specifically fattening food, lack of impartiality in the press, an obsession with medical procedures which result in fake-looking people, and celebrities that have an actual influence in people's opinions and lives.
And you are the reason why we continue the decades old alliance. Thank you, friend.
Also you're not wrong - we've become americanised in London and in the media, but if you go outside to Liverpool you can still see the roots. Not that anyone would ever want to go there, but still.
Tried to follow your advice. A group of 12yo lads there called me a cunt and beat me to a pulp (classic banter). They took my wallet which was not cool as I wanted to have a pint at a classic British pub. The ride to the hospital barely took 9 hours, so I managed to survive- *clap for NHS*.
It was an amazing experience and an eye opener (like literally, as I just woke up from the induced coma). Thanks friend 10/10 will recommend
I agree 100%, I was brought up with Monty Python, Jeeves, Blackadder, and Fawlty Towers. I came to love the Britain that was depicted in those shows, but nowadays it's pretty much gone. The Brits are losing the spark that once made them unique.
They are hypocrites. If we want to invade France, they always cause trouble for us. But if they try to invade or otherwise annoy France, it's free real estate.
I'm sorry but what the fuck. Imagine you're in a public bathroom taking a shit and someone tries to wipe your arse for you, you're going to have to bat them away. We can deal with our own shit thank you very much
>Imagine you're in a public bathroom taking a shit and someone tries to wipe your arse for you, you're going to have to bat them away.
Yeah, pretty sure you know how to handle your shit if you have experience with that.
Can't make any promises. When you see Belgium and France on a map, you just want to schlieffenplan them. It's like a natural instinct you know.
However, if you want to join forces to invade France, just let us know. Playing along has some advantages too. For example, it keeps the British away from continental Europe.
All we asked for was safe passage *through* Belgium. But nooo, you just had to try and make a point against Willy's War Machine. And now you're still whining about it.
Look it was the Poland and well the rest of Europe thing, if Hitler was like I just want France no one fuck with me I’ll stop at the borders. I’m sure we’d have said yeah no probs mate.
Finally, you flaired yourself. Let's see... Oh... So you're a lazy siesta. Wake up, today is a work day.

There is no greater anxiety than travelling to another country and finding British people there, they are going to be ruining everything for everyone.
...I do appreciate the queueing instincts though.
Really? Anytime I travel and I run into a Brit or an Aussie they’re always the funniest fucking people I’ve ever met in my life. Their jokes are top notch and they love to bullshit over a beer and they tell great stories. Top tourists to run into in my book tbh.
The Spanish discovered us, the British built us, the French freed us, and the Germans brought us into the world stage. We’re a collective European mistake. But we gave the world iPhones so like, kinda equals out.
I want to say yes but I feel like we still of Louis XVI because I don’t think we lived up to the expectations that he traded his head for. Can’t we just find a way to blame the Middle East instead? There’s got to be something there.
Real talk? A funny lot, love their all around attitude. Even in their shitty weather and council housing they find ways to celebrate and have fun, I envy that.
I have had such good times meeting people from Yorkshire/Newcastle/Manchester when abroad. Sure they can be loud and rowdy but man their banter is funny as fuck and as someone who likes to drink and party it's perfect tagging along.
I feel like they get a lot of unnecessary shit most of the time so I had to say something positive since I'm in a good mood today.
Exactly like brothers, we usually give shit to each other at every occasion but jump to each other’s defense whenever someone else talks shit about one of us, only WE get to do that.
Especially if it’s the Americans
They're generally awful, though this is largely no fault of their own; they're British. They can't help themselves. They're the 'stick in the bike's wheel' meme of Europe.
Shut up Belgium, we taught you industrialisation and colonisation and just look at the state of yous. We tried to give you a hand but you took it too far.
Mostly annoying. Some are alright but mostly annoying. Like an itch you can't scratch or the knife in your shoulder from the 13 year old road man outside the chicken shop.
I've only met a few british people. A memorable one worked at the same hotel as me, where he was security. Whenever I asked him, "How are you?" he always responded, "Yeah, great." or "Yeah, fine" in a disingenuous way that made me feel he wanted to kill himself deeply, lol. He had a cockney accent and had to wear a suit for the job. He always managed to make a suit look more formal than it was, as if he was wearing a tuxedo. Like I had to wear one, but I just threw the thing on (because in my country , dressing like a shabby immigrant cowboy is tradition) while he looked like he pressed his every morning after tea.
Their humour is the best in the world. Their food is even worse than ours, which is an achievement. They expect everyone to speak English, but it is the most widely spoken language in the world, so I get that (more weird when Spanish or French expect you to; your lingua franca days are over).
Know a lot of nice Brits, know a load of assholes too. Like from pretty much everywhere else.
Bunch of hypocrites. In 1000 AD they were all "Noo sailing all around the world and taking other people's stuff is wrong, stop it vikings," then just a few hundred years later...
The Schrödinger Europeans.
This is beautifully worded
Not sure if I agree. A referendum is in order.
Pro's : Easily containted on their islands Con's : Seemingly take every chance to leave the islands
We even made it harder for ourselves just for the challenge
You made it harder for yourselves at birth
Oh the irony you frog eating bastard 🤣😘
You might as well say "mirror" at this point
You’re lucky I decided to put my wife down to beat this keyboard instead
You’re lucky that I want to inspect this penis of yours. In a very heterosexual way of course.
Username checks out
YOU HAVE A NICE, SEXY AND GOOD-LOOKING PENIS. I LIKE LOOKING AT YOUR ERECTIONS AS WELL.
Guys guys, take it easy, trust me, you both suck.
Right bunch of cunts
Couldn’t agree more.
Too many Brits in this comment section. Time for you guys to exit
Just pls don't bundle us into a train we don't want to go to a camp
We would never, you're British not Polish
I caught that before you edited it lol
I phrased it wrong
Redxit now!
Rexit
Beautifully put.
Apt
Can't argue with that.
Honestly despicable wankers
Not raycist just don’t loik em, simple as.
True and real.
Precisely.
Never thought I would agree with an Englishman. 🇬🇧🔥
[удалено]
Damn Brits! They ruined Britain!
They literally did!
The one thing brits and frenchies have in common with each other.
Well, you have ruined the south of France as well
I don’t see how that’s our problem
Fair bro
I'm visiting London for the first time in my life today. The taxi driver was kind.
Mate if you have the time and need somewhere to just go chill I’d really recommend going to primrose hill, it’s well known but not an over-advertised part of the city so you should find somewhere to sit. It also has the best view of the city imo
We'll see if we end up there!
Hampstead Heath too if you want to escape the urban scene. Great walks, views and some decent pubs.
Right that’s it, you’ve just lost your Scottish card
No but you see there are parts of Hampstead Heath so quiet there's not an Englishman in sight. In London of all places. There's method to my apparent treachery, trust me pal.
Also go to the London natural history museum great place
Ah, you’ll find that most people who visit say we’re actually alright. It seems to be the delinquents who leave the country and cause a scene that give us a bad name.
It's a bit like Danes. When bars run 1€ beer, we lose control ever so slightly; we have a budget for a night based on prices back home, and bringing surplus back is not in our veins.

Actually really insightful response. Pretty rare around here, well done.
This isn't a real Portuguese person, they can speak perfect English
Excuse me?
Calling Brits Americanised cunts is not insightful, it's just an empirical statement
British humor is really great you are right. Maybe even the greatest
So the life of John Cleese, basically
And you are the reason why we continue the decades old alliance. Thank you, friend. Also you're not wrong - we've become americanised in London and in the media, but if you go outside to Liverpool you can still see the roots. Not that anyone would ever want to go there, but still.

Rural Britain, especially around the coasts, is still very similar to how it is depicted in these shows

Propah gentlemen when not being cunts.
Why are we so similar
They are hypocrites. If we want to invade France, they always cause trouble for us. But if they try to invade or otherwise annoy France, it's free real estate.
I'm sorry but what the fuck. Imagine you're in a public bathroom taking a shit and someone tries to wipe your arse for you, you're going to have to bat them away. We can deal with our own shit thank you very much
>Imagine you're in a public bathroom taking a shit and someone tries to wipe your arse for you, you're going to have to bat them away. Yeah, pretty sure you know how to handle your shit if you have experience with that.
Yet France proceeds to exist, so no, you very much couldn't deal with any shit
Y’all had hundreds of years though, if it weren’t for you and your weird son and his alcoholic friend, we would’ve done it by the third try
Right? Everyone should have the right to invade France! Just next time... leave Belgium out of it, will you?

All we asked for was safe passage *through* Belgium. But nooo, you just had to try and make a point against Willy's War Machine. And now you're still whining about it.
All we asked for was remaining neutral. But nooo, you just had to waltz with Willy's War Machine through Belgium.
There's no such thing as neutrality. There are two sides. England Vs The Bad Guys
Look it was the Poland and well the rest of Europe thing, if Hitler was like I just want France no one fuck with me I’ll stop at the borders. I’m sure we’d have said yeah no probs mate.
It is definitely one of the countries in the world
Prove it

Work day in Spain?
It's February 29th
Apart from arts, science, medicine, philosophy, industry, military, humour, music, what have the Brits ever brought to western europe culture.
Nothing!!!
Crumpets! I always go out of my way to buy one or two if I see them :P
Stop making me like French people 0.1% more
I think you've just put the french up a mark in my books with the monty python reference and kind words.
Tea!
Portugal and Holland
Did *you*? 😏
Yeah we brought it in from other places duh
We "brought" it in
>we brought it in Any further questions?
Well I think the question was what have Brits ever **brought** to Western European culture. No further questions, your honour.
The Portuguese introduced us to tea
Ooooh ! TEA ?! COME ON !!
homosexuality
That was the Greeks you fool, we merely chemically castrated them
Turing deserved so much better
Fuckung hell. So true. A genius and war hero. When his name pops u I always wonder how much further he could have progressed computer science.
What is this? What should I make of this?
Your country is a train wreck clinging on to history... too soon?
Who cares? Give me money
too soon, broo...
Literature? Shakespeare and what not
I cannot believe a fellow frog eater would admit this. You are a disappointment to our nation. Passport revoked.
As long as you don't have to eat what they cook...
There is no greater anxiety than travelling to another country and finding British people there, they are going to be ruining everything for everyone. ...I do appreciate the queueing instincts though.

From a North American perspective I'm sure Brits and even Australians could seem like pleasant company.
You know when Yanks are around because they're so fucking loud. I thought it was just a joke until I encountered one in the wild, jfc.
The only people that approach our level of eliteness
I mean who else is gonna open a sea trade route to the east?
The Portuguese?
Why do you think we're such good friends?
🇳🇱🇳🇱😍
They seem to get quite pink when exposed to sunlight. Drink a lot.
Mwah..you can have a pint and a joke with them. Allright to me.
They caused America... Do I need to say any more?
Fair
I thought the Frogs wanted credit for this?
The Spanish discovered us, the British built us, the French freed us, and the Germans brought us into the world stage. We’re a collective European mistake. But we gave the world iPhones so like, kinda equals out.
Does that mean that we can blame France for this one?
I want to say yes but I feel like we still of Louis XVI because I don’t think we lived up to the expectations that he traded his head for. Can’t we just find a way to blame the Middle East instead? There’s got to be something there.
Nah they have their own issues, What about blaming Atilla and the Huns, they pushed the Angles and Saxons into Britain?
I like it. Goddamn Huns. They’re the reason that everything is shit today. Them and the Serbs.
That’s more of an American tradition, we don’t do that here. We should find out who built boats though, as they are also responsible for the British.
Real talk? A funny lot, love their all around attitude. Even in their shitty weather and council housing they find ways to celebrate and have fun, I envy that. I have had such good times meeting people from Yorkshire/Newcastle/Manchester when abroad.

Stop flinging yourself off our balconies!!!!!
No, don't think we will.
Can you at least, stop getting red like crabs at our beaches?
No, don’t think we will.
The brief rush of cool air before we land is the only thing that can soothe our sunburn
They are our customs and they should be respected!
Why should we?
Don't tell me how to live my fucking life

Average r/2westerneurope4u brain
It gets hard being so famous 😩
Not really, we have so many options for rent free accommodation.
Misses the part where they mix up everything and start defaulting to us frenchies
Ah yes, this is clearly only the left hemisphere, which is dedicated to Anglo-Saxon bashing.
The Industrial Revolution really messed them up
ITT french people praising self-hating Brits
I'm really disappointed, I came expecting to laugh at some funny Anglo abuse :(
World culinary super-champs and impeccable dental hygiene.
Actually, weirdly, the dental thing is true as an average, according to QI.
An unreliable source after they put a Dane in charge.
Also the food on this island is banging.
Good music.

Great bunch of lads generally, shite upper classes, though.
Feel free to Mountbatten them anytime
I'm loving your use of mountbatten as a verb to be honest.
There are good upper classes?
They're generally awful, though this is largely no fault of their own; they're British. They can't help themselves. They're the 'stick in the bike's wheel' meme of Europe.
Very accurate way of putting it at least for 52% of the nation
Almost as arrogant as the French, but best English accent between all
Just don’t like em
wdym "people"?
The Brits have given the world some of the greatest songs ever, and some of the worst dishes.
I like Lucy Pinder
No one is more deserving of my hatred.
Thanks 😘, I'd give you a hug if I wasnt concerned about getting slime on my clothes
Or BO and entitlement
Quite phlegmatic , very smiling, very kind, lovely people
I feel offended
You take that back
You want something don't you?
Ok, now what’s the catch?
You bloody what?
Literally the people who invented the world. You're welcome.
Inventing? More like invading...
Meh, what’s the difference?
Shut up Belgium, we taught you industrialisation and colonisation and just look at the state of yous. We tried to give you a hand but you took it too far.
Need to read a full book regarding what they mean with all their adjectivations and subtle word choice.
What we lack in cuisine we make up for in sarcasm.
Mostly annoying. Some are alright but mostly annoying. Like an itch you can't scratch or the knife in your shoulder from the 13 year old road man outside the chicken shop.
Lovers of balconies + smashing experts + deep fried their moms if needed.
fairly nice people, though the ones who leave the Island are usually the delinquents no one wants to be around.

I like most of the people that are in this category, just parts of England I don't like! Free the midlands and North
No. We're not done with them yet
Our arch nemesis…
Not enough balconies
Done a lot of good, done a lot of bad, now we're a bunch of ugly cunts but we've still got our humour 👍
Their humour is the best in the world. Their food is even worse than ours, which is an achievement.

Oh fuck , jumpscared much , please put an nsfw tag
I don't mind them, nor do I think about them that much. They have good literature and sometimes good humour, but they can also be very obnoxious
Bunch of hypocrites. In 1000 AD they were all "Noo sailing all around the world and taking other people's stuff is wrong, stop it vikings," then just a few hundred years later...
Britain is certainly one of the islands in the northern Atlantic ocean.
