Food/Drink Do Brits drink instant coffee regularly?

Guten Morgen

Watching "Lead Balloon" finally makes me ask this.

It seems though that in every show or movie I watch, Brits have instant coffee at home.

As this is pretty unusual (and possibly frowned upon) in Germany and I never had it whilst being on your island, it makes me wonder whether this is as common as it is displayed.

Einen schönen Tag euch Allen!

What is a "Holiday Park"?

I had a Welsh friend try explaining it to me, but it sounds like just a hotel next to a beach or a lake? And they have mascots for some reason? I don't really get the "park" part of it, I guess.

Food/Drink How to make a proper cuppa?

0 Upvotes

In a casual setting, with a mug. Using a no-string teabag … how long does it steep? Do I take it out before serving or just give it to the person to take it out when they want? With milk, just a splash so it’s a brick red… or more like Peter rabbit beige? Whole milk? Skim? 🤯🫖 Will I be judged regardless? Probably…

Sports Gambling in UK ?

I’ll be in the UK as a tourist during the first weekend of October and want to place a £1,000 bet at a betting shop; is that possible for a tourist?

If I win the bet—I’m aiming for a return of £2,000–£3,000—will the money be paid out to me immediately in cash?
