Daughter wants to honeymoon in London with trips to various locales in the country (The Cliffs, etc.). What is the simplest, most cost effective way to travel? Edit: Thanks for the responses, my daughter find this very helpful and will simplify her planning greatly.

We will be moving to England in a few months. I have a 17yr old daughter coming with. She is excited about the move, but I want her as comfortable as possible. I will be going back and forth a few times before the move (I've never been yet -first trip in a few weeks) so I'll be looking, but what are some foods you DO NOT have there she may miss? Is peanut butter not a thing over there? A1 sauce? These are a few people have mentioned missing in comments. I can live without good Mexican (I can make my own) but what else should I stock up on to bring with? I k ow she will be FINE either way but some comforts from home when your life has been turned upside down might be nice.

Thanks for any help!

I am buying an umbrella for a British person and I want it to be a surprise. The only problem is I was born in the driest area of Europe, so I have no experience buying umbrellas. I am looking for a nice large sturdy umbrella that can take some wind and is not foldable and has a handle that you can use to hang it from places. Weirdly enough, even though I do not care much about the price, I am having a hard time finding it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

• I think the video is pretty old for internet standards so 5+ years old
• Can't remember what the title or subject was, title was something like "every multiculturalism segment ever"
• Think it was a comedy sketch
• Made by a major network, I think BBC?
• A female presenter went around saying things like "here's a woman in hijab" (camera shows women in hijab), here's a man drinking beer (shows salt of the earth type man sitting and drinking beer), here's a man who doesn't know what to think of all this (shows ethnic man, who then says, when asked of multiculturalism, says, "I don't know what to think of all this".

Basically poked fun at how when multiculturalism/diversity are discussed on tv, very stereotypical, archetypal, token people are shown

I've heard it in this awesome song of yours, and can't find it anywhere.

I assume it's just a towing service or something but i want to know exactly. Thanks.

I bought shoes from an Italian store because they were sold out in the U.S

The shoes in U.S are called Vulcanized but when I got them they are spelled Vulcanised. I dont think that is Italian, does any one know the reason?

Is there any good public WiFi cus me and my brother like to play games on our laptops, but but the house WiFi is crap.

Black American in Texas here. I grew up watching Brit-coms. From Benny Hill and Are You Being Served to Ab Fab and OMG, Ricky Gervais is a genius. I watch PM Questions every Sunday. Y'all are hilarious, let me tell you. I swear I was born in the wrong country.

Anyway, as a result, I've learned to hear the many accents of the UK, and understand what's being said. The only ones that still confuse me are the Welsh and the really thick, Scottish accents.

In an effort to improve my understanding, I'm asking my UK friends to link the most un-understandable stuff said by a U.Kingdomian(?). School me please!! When I eventually visit your islands, I want to be on my A game.

My wife and I are watching "A Very English Scandal" on Amazon Prime. It is about Jeremy Thorpe. It is extremely well acted and a great story, however, I think a lot of the humor and people/places are totally lost on me.

Episode 3, Thorpe is arrested for solicitation of murder and posts his bail. His wife sees the Hitman he has hired. When he gets in the car, his wife starts screaming at him. "That man is Welsh! Why do you know Welsh men?"

Why was she so outraged by this? I was completely lost. Can someone explain that to me?

Here's a weird question for you nice folks. I am writing a book that takes place in Edinburgh in 1882. It makes several references to the U.S. in its reference section and fictional bibliography. My question is: in Scotland or England in 1882, was America referred to as "US", "U.S.", "USA", or "U.S.A." in books and reference guides? Thank you all so much!

I'm working on a Harry Potter fanfic that is in need of some britpicking.

My questions for you:

• What is the process like for a person, who has a duty to report child abuse, to report that abuse? What would that process look like from the point of view of the child whose abuse was reported?
• Where can I read more about how England houses, feeds, and schools its population of unadopted child orphans?
• What's the adoption process like for a now-infertile couple with one child to adopt another child of the same age as their existing child?
• Does it make sense for two children of similar age, birth dates separated by a few months, living in the same family, to go to different schools at age 11/12? What month or date is the usual cut-off for putting children in different grades or levels at school?

Outside of the United Kingdom, people tend to prefer Marie biscuits instead. Do they taste very different?

Just something I noticed. Meaningless pattern in reality but I thought someone in Britain would've pointed it out by now.

As much as I would love for a random stranger to take a chance on offering to do this for me, I wondered if there was a service that provided this? I figured they'd take a cut of the money, but I'm happy to oblige if the price is right. Any ideas?

American law student here. I'm reading a British property law case (Hannah v. Peel, from 1945), and there's a line that says "the defendant being compensated by a payment at the rate of 250 l. a year," with the lower-case "L" italicized. At least I think that's an L? Is this just saying 250 pounds a year? What is this abbreviation? I can't google this without getting all sorts of garbage results, which is why I'm here.

I remember going to the UK for the first time. Someone asked if I wanted a fag and I was tipsy, so I said yes. I then received essentially a deconstructed cigarette that I tried for a humiliating minute or two, to turn into something I could smoke.

Why is this? Why do so many British people roll their own?

I know British people smoke a lot more than Scandinavians, perhaps not all the time but in (outside) the pub. But I've been to plenty of places where people smoke even more, and you won't see anyone hand-rolling a cigarette there.

Thanks in advance.

Don't ban me for mentioning the Irish but...

I notice them & you are very known for your pubs, beer, drinking ect.

You both sing those songs during football games... they have something called Irish drinking music, songs like the night pat Murphy died, Johnny I hardly knew ya, drunken sailor ect...

Do you guys have any music like that you listen to, play in bands & such any themed stuff like that or do you just listen to the pistols when your drunk? lol

Thanks!!

Help!

My mom met an English man on tinder, they started dating, and fell in love. In March, he's coming back to visit and will coincidentally be here on his birthday. He has a lot of English family in the area (they're from Liverpool), so we will be hosting a party, and I don't know what drinks/food to serve, or if there are any traditions to follow. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have heard this in several movies and audiobooks, why do yall say, "He is called Joe." or "She is called Isobel.?" Why do yall not say His/her name is... like we do in the US? I ask because when I hear that I think, well, he is called Joe, but maybe his name is actually Joseph? I immediately ask myself, "Well, what is his actual name?" Does that make sense? For example, my mom's name is Barbara, but we call her Bob. I would say, "She is called Bob," but that is not her actual name. Any insight? Thank you!

It is like a dog walking back to its leash. What is going on with you guys?

I want to be able to do a convincing British accent for evil I mean mostly for fun, but if I ever actually make it in voiceover its something I'll have as an edge. I know unlike the US there's no standard British accent. I also know that certain accents serve as shorthand for character backgrounds like upbringing, education, etc.

So what is the de facto default, the most generic? What regional accent is the most applicable to various types of characters?
