It is all about researching the culture a little. Watch some UK tv before you go, it helps. More importantly just be somewhat tolerant and have a good sense of humour so to speak. I was at a pub in Sheffield and sure enough I heard the phrase Smoke a Fag and you guessed it. I started laughing like The Strawberry Quick Bunny on Crank. Sorry but I am from The Old School and not very PC (Although I try to keep up as much as possible in this enlightened age of Newspeak I was on my 4th pint. There before The Grace of God go I. The patrons actually understood and good laugh out of it too.

I have to say that sometimes listening to British people speak, especially the lower classes, reminds me of what an American character in the movie Snatch said Doesn't anybody speak English here? I thought this country spawned the fxcking language but nobody seems to speak it. It was after Bullet Tooth Tony said the bookies was blagged.

If youre in Scotland, dont ask to use the restroom or they will get agitated and say, Its a toilet! Are you going to take a nap or a fcking shite. In fact, they tend to get agitated about most things that arent said or done exactly as theyre used to.

This is brilliant! I did laugh so. In the UK I would say I'm pissed off when I'm mad or gutted, or I may say I'm pissed off with that arsehole, referring to my ex bf. . Also, my reply to a poor experience could be. it was pants!

You are funny though!
There is a huge difference in language when it comes to park a car.
For instance: US You're not allowed to park in this area.
UK: You're allowed to park in these premises.

Get stuffed is not the same as get lost. It means no I won't do that.
The correct term is sod off.
Feminine napkins? No. It's sanitary towels.

And tea isn't exactly tea with biscuits, scones, jam & or clotted cream. Tea in the UK means dinner. Have you had your tea? Means have you eaten?

Whilst watching this, I kept thinking that one of my smoke detectors was beeping. Until I realised that that was in the video.
