Welcome to the land of the weird and the beautiful—the ancient sceptred isles, where people drink their beer by the pints, celebrate mysterious Bank Holidays that occur several times a year, and toss their trash out the first time they see a bin. Bins are holy there and the chance to do so comes very rarely, if ever.

But according to Jessica Rose, an American who’s been living in great Blighty for the past few decades, the list doesn’t end there.

Recently, Jessica listed all the “weird as hell things” Brits do in a thread that amassed 64.8K likes and went viral with people praising how spot-on it is. Let’s get ready for the quaint and quirky ride in the land of Britons.

When asked what British things Jessica really likes, she said that as an American, she finds the National Health Service “mind-bogglingly amazing.”

She sounds like a smart colonial. I am baffled as to how Americans would buy their beer when in a group. Do people slope off in ones or twos ? That is anti social but would conform to Americas celebration of the individual.

As a side rule to the round you can only tell the buyer to get crisps if you are quite close. It would be considered a bit off to say "get some cheese and onion mate" if he was a passing acquaintance.
