Things about England:

  • Everyone here loves Lucozade. It's like the most popular drink after beer and Coke.
  • The most English thing seems to be having a pier jutting out into the ocean, and then filling that pier up with slot machines and then letting five year olds play those slot machines. Ro also loves doing this.
  • I didn't realise that ale is just flat beer until I ordered one. Ale is gross.
  • England is totally the rudest country ever. I think out of about fifty customer service experiences we have had in this country, ...two? have been friendly? All pubs and shops are populated by severe eastern European woman who answer requests with "YES." and then don't do what you want until you ask them another three times. If England is what America would be like if tipping didn't exist then y'all should probably just keep the tipping.
  • A lot of people just have their dogs wherever, often off the lead. Like not just parks and stuff, on streets in the middle of London and on the tube and things like that. Real weird.
  • There are Australians everywhere.
  • Fosters is a thing here. It's available at all the pubs and people seem to actually drink it. I might have to try it one day, for science.
  • Mind the gap
  • The tube is too small. Get a bigger tube, England.
  • It is summer here, so people keep walking around with their shirts off and announcers on trains keep encouraging people to drink plenty of water ps it is like 20 degrees
  • Americans talking about the "toob" are real funny
