england survival guide 101 {2}

I did a first part to this "england survival guide 101" a couple of days ago. maybe a should make books about surviving in england, new zealand and australia. this could be good. this could be fun.
totally sidetracking.

survival tip 0008
when you think it's cold, it's not. it's gonna get a lot colder.

survival tip 0009
you invite someone around for dinner and you tell them to "bring a plate". don't do this.
they will actually bring a plate. just a plate. nothing on it.


survival tip 0010
learn your southerners from your northerners. if you really have no idea, don't guess.
when you're down south, you don't like the northerners. when you're up north, you really don't like the southerners. ok?

survival tip 0011
never, ever, ever, ever, ever jump a queue. not ever. when it comes to queues, you wait your turn, like a good brit.




survival tip 0012
british people can't cook meat on a BBQ properly. maybe it's coz I come from the kingdom of all BBQ's (aka NZ) and I'm spoilt with perfectly cooked meat. someone invite you (on that VERY rare occasion) for a barbie? say you're a vegetarian.

survival tip 0013
british people don't invite you round to dinner, lunch, supper, anything until you've known them for a million years. it's true.



survival tip 0014
you don't have trucks, you have lorrys. you don't have potato chips, you have crisps. you don't have the bathroom, you have the toilet. you don't have bread rolls, you have teacakes.


part 2 of you just know in your knower is coming up!



p.s. 292 followers? you guys are kidding with my guts.
I love you guys. so. hugely. much.
