Interesting/ annoying things about the UK

Yes, my grandpa used to eat them for breakfast. I think he had sliced rather than mashed but I can't quite recall.
Banana goes with anything, never heard of banana sandwiches but I'm sure they taste fine. I discovered banana loaf 2 years ago because of Moopy and it's the best thing ever.
 
Yup.

I put noodles in a sandwich the other day :D

Eurgh I had a grotesque Northern Irish flatmate in Glasgow who would make super noodle sandwiches when hungover, actually makes me PHYSICALLY SICK to think about it!
 
And of course who doesn’t love a CRISP SANDWICH :disco:

Omg I thought this was a New Zealand shenanigan! I remember my primary school teacher giving me a Peanut butter, chips and Marmite sandwich and just thinking how BARBARIC it looked. It's very much a kids' thing though isn't it?

That was literally what I had. Although they were Aldi noodles.

I used to make cake sandwiches, which were just butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract mixed together and put between bread. Not a British thing, obviously, I’m just a fat cunt.
 
Are we the queens of double carbing?

MASHED BANANA! :oi:

I like bananas but that grosses me out a little.

I eat peanut butter/banana sandwiches, which I think most English people would find gross.

I discovered jam and peanut butter sandwiches are few years ago.

I’m British, and I’ve read up on it several times, and I still don’t entirely understand what the House of Lords do.

Thats the quintessential American kids lunch (called peanut butter and jelly or pb&j). Its one of my favorite foods
 
I see RACISM, CARPETS, TAPS (and the OVERALL BATHROOM EXPERIENCE) and TERRIBLE FOOD has been covered already :eyes:

To PLAY AGAINST TYPE, I'm going to list NICE things only!

- A MUCH HIGHER level of LITERACY overall, even amongst the least educated groups of society and even if that literacy translates into reading a rag. Overall, there's a level of INTELLECTUAL DISCOURSE that I haven't found in other countries
- A very healthy dose of PRAGMATISM and a DISLIKE FOR DRAMA (a very WELCOME habit for the more HIGHLY-STRUNG MED TYPES)
- So many beautiful accents and regional differences for such a small island
- An actually SURPRISINGLY GOOD SELECTION of traditional cakes and tarts, including some contenders for TOP 10 CAKES ever like CARROT CAKE.
- Satire and irony are UNDERSTOOD and TRADED in EVERYDAY LANGUAGE without having to caveat them
- (This may shock some Brits and it certainly isn't JAPAN-LEVELS but) a ROBUST public transport system with regular and reliable connections. The first time I was told to "get a bus" to go somewhere in London I LAUGHED until I realised that buses actually TURN UP at the times that are written on the bus stop!
- Eccentricity isn't frowned upon and is somewhat ENCOURAGED
- WITTY PARLOUR GAMES where IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WINS are broadcast on television with the regularity of football matches
 
OMG and I've been in a couple of British houses where they didn't have A SHOWER :shock: They had a bath from time to time and that's it. I have no words for this.
Yes this is an occasional thing. I personally find a shower but no bath equally distressing though.

I had a house with no shower. It was shit.
