I remember reading 'The Da Vinci Code' and there being a British character in it. In the book, the american main character incorrectly tells the British character that milk should be put in tea. The British character then finds this a terrible misconception, claiming tea should have lemon in it.

So apparently us Brits put lemon in our tea. I can't remember seeing anyone do this in my life. It got me to thinking, what other steriotypes about British people can you think of which are complete Bulls**t?

iced tea, but equally theres other things that go into tea apart from milk, such as honey or jam.

also you can put lemon in herbal teas.

I was at a summer camp that normally has a lot of counselors from the u.k. for an leader in training program, and the counselors were imitating eachother's accents. When one of the American lady counselors was asked to do her british accent, I was so imbarrassed to be an American.

Her voice got seven pitches high and she screached, "Air-eee-poh-tah!"(harry potter)



I'm planning an invasion on your brain. It's... neccessary.

When I was five (it bit stupid you know) I always believed that all british people had f**ked up teeth and that there were no dentists in the UK.


Please dont kill me for saying that... I was five I couldnt help it...

Sometimes there is no solution because there was never a problem to begin with.
