Scottish Highland tea? Yorkshire Gold blend tea for me. Mind you, Walkers shortbread is rather excellent and morish......

Sounds tasty!

Just had Peppermint tea with Honey! MMM... I even added some Milk to get it not so hot.

I also had full English breakfast at Epsom in March (for the third time, probably)! It was pretty good, I was even able to wait until lunch time

Unfortunately, I can not give you an example, now you'll understand why.

The fact is that in Russian, some oriental surnames and names sound .... indecent. (indecent - it's softly told).

Therefore, commenters replace some letters in the names so as not to arouse the audience laugh.
So it goes.

Yeah, I got it! Thanks!
No need to mention it right now

Last Friday we got this both in english lesson:

Sue, that was hilarious! They taught you that in English class?? Wonder what the Brits think about your diagram.

Yes really, in english class last Friday. Our teacher said its a cartoon & our homework was to describe 'what image of the British do the cartoon convey?' . I wrote that this isn't a realistic image of the British

Oh, it's actually pretty accurate.......we are always a bit grumpy on holiday because we can never get a sun bed

Ha ha, really? You fast get a sunburn, right? Our next homework is to make notes about what it meant to be german & I've no idea It's only that we all have a inherited guilty conscience cause of Adolf Hitler & we're grumpy, too.

You could write about your musical heritage.

Good idea Tully
I have 7 key points now..North Sea & Baltic Sea is one, health insurance is one, welfare & income support. Most time the Germans eat away from home (restaurants, bars, snack takeaway, kiosks) & frequently we don't pay with credit cards, more cash here in Germany.

Don't forget the beer.

One thing I also associate with Germans is how well-organised and precise they always seem to be. Deutsche Gründlichkeit

And Autobahns*
''German autobahns have no general speed limit (though about 47% of the total length is subject to local and/or conditional limits), but the advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) is 130 kilometres per hour (81 mph).''
