Argue with their parents

My wife, a Canadian, found it hilarious that we actually do drink tea as much as the world thinks we do, which is right bang on with your OP. When I first went to visit her family he mom bought a 100 bag of “Orange Pekoe” tea, which is actually the brand used for what we call just “tea”, and they all laughed about having bought it for me - and I laughed with them, whilst also being quietly grateful to have them buy it. I used a lot of it in the weekend I was there.

Can I say that I actually knew the “real” definition of chauvinist thanks to reading Asterix.

It’s to do with a blind following or belief in something, right, after some guy who proper loved napoleon?

Don’t mind if I do

When we were in America last year multiple Americans asked us to confirm that we had separate hot and cold taps and found it hilarious that we did. This is from a country that still hasn’t fully embraced chip and pin.

Eat their tea staring at the telly.

Most of my foreign mates eat meals with their families, then have blazing rows about politics. The whole thing’s weird to me. Human-beings would never congregate around a table in my family, save maybe Christmas or a meal out, and if they did they’d slope away at the first rumblings of a political discussion.

Hosepipe ban is one of the most British things I can think of

Over here the equivalent is ’grillförbud’ - barbeque ban - in order to lower the risk of wildfires

There is currently a grillförbud in most parts of Sweden

Another one that came up is that we talk a lot of shit and small talk and seem to find ways of avoiding more serious conversations. That might be a localised one to the people I was with and more about me as an individual though.

Had a half at pub quiz last night and there were a few comments… really weird.
