Spiridon

Hello, I'm writing a college journalism essay and I want to write about the top 5 things that you guys don't understand about English people. For example why do we have a queen? And why do we need her? Or why is your humour so weird and seemingly dry? Please reply to this post with a reason why you don't understand as well (optional).
I will post in response to everything a cut down/quick fire version of my essay for you guys.

Thank you for reading this and please enjoy whatever you're going to do for the rest of your day/evening.

How do Brits come up with names for things, such as lou for bathroom?

In reply to sbatkk, #2: no dude the loo, is just what we call the Lavi (toilet). to clarify the loo is still found in a bathroom

In reply to Radius55, #5: Right England is England that's easy enough, Britain is England+Scotland+Whales, And the United Kingdom Is Great Britain + Norther Ireland ... And Europe can go fuck itself.

How about why we can't get some normal fucking weather? That's a pretty good question.

Why is the UK still considered a world power? Where does their influence come from? Is their role in the EU diminishing as time passes?
