    This is hilarious.
    Most of these are also transferred over Australia too. Especially the bus one. I got off at the wrong stop and instead of turning around and getting back on the bus I walked home. Same when I got the wrong bus. Just walked home from a reasonable distance.

    @ kitsch
    bahaha I was a bit worried someone would be offended, because well, someone's always offended! But so far so good.

    @ Kinki Jinki
    That's what happens, the British-ness will seep into your soul haha.

    @ antidote.
    Hello! Never apologise for keeping people updated on the weather :)

    I´ve been here for like 2 months and I already find myself apologising for everything and my accent that used to be american-ish (Im a native portuguese speaker and I learned english mostly from the media) is slowly turning into a british accent xD

    This blog is just pure greatness! I'm from the south east, West Berkshire to be exact.

    The weather point is just so accurate. I even made a blog about the weather earlier and my excuse was, I'm British, it's what we do!

    lmfao I found myself agreeing with every single one! I'm from the land of sheep, there are so many "Welshisms" and slang words that only we understand, I would probably be here all week trying to remember them all. But I may make a blog. Any other Welshies out there? I've only met two on here so far XD

    The Welsh one would probably be about how they're crap at football and can only redeem themselves in rugby, and that half the villages and towns can't even be pronounced by its own citizens. tehe

    baha I couldn't possibly comment on that (see how I shamelessly skirt the issue because I'm a coward)

    @ house of cards.
    You should! Oh and could you possibly let me know if you do in case I miss it? I'm curious :) Even though you hate the English bahaha

    My Scottish one is pretty much that we hate the English, love kilts and get drunk as often as possible. XD

    @ archipelago.
    Yeah, it must be, although you never see it on American grammars and it's just like are they all rude??

    @ house of cards.
    I would make a Welsh one but it'd probably be all about sheep (plus the fact that I'm actually English and not Welsh by birth Think).

    Ditto. I'm turning 20 in November and I still ask my parents for permission to leave the table. XD

    This is all so true. I'm going to make a Scotland one of these tomorrow, it'd such an ace idea! Cute

    haha thanks!

    @ northern lights;
    You're a fellow midlander? We're a rare breed on here! Well you're not alone in that, I swear I've only ever seen old people tell the driver they want the next stop.

    @ zisteau.
    Really? That's so awkward and brilliant! I also like when you go the wrong way down a street and have to check your phone like you got a text before you turn around...

    @ castiel's vessel
    it's really just good manners right? At least I think so haha.

    BLESS THIS BLOG OH MY GOD
    Fun fact: Most of this is true in America too. File
    Especially the shops. If you go in the wrong shop, too bad. You stick around til a worker asks to help, then you can go.
