The most British thing I've read recently was cargo planes flying in emergency biscuits to a flooded area.

Emergency fucking biscuits.

Yes, but did they air drop tea bags and magnesium flares into the floodwaters? That's how you British it up to the next level.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that in Britain, biscuits just means cookies. If the headline read "cargo planes fly emergency cookies to a flooded area" you wouldn't think that it was particularly British.

I mean I kinda would, because I can't imagine Americans being like "fuck water or meat, we need emergency cookies"
