If you’ve ever been to the United Kingdom, you know that citizens are serious about a few things: their favorite football team, their local pub, drinking tea, and being an absolute joy to be around. So if you’re looking for a list that celebrates all of the quirks of the UK, you’ve come to the right place, pandas!
We visited the Casual UK subreddit and compiled a list of their funniest posts below. If you live in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, you might find these photos to be painfully relatable.

The United Kingdom is one of the most influential countries in the world. It has a population of 69.3 million people, and it brings in over 100 million tourists every single year. As I’m sure you know, London is one of the most popular cities in the world, but there are countless destinations that are worth visiting in the UK. Whether you’re looking for a bustling city, gorgeous nature, or stunning architecture, you won’t have a problem finding it at all.
And something else that the UK certainly has no shortage of is tea. According to a survey by Product of the Year, the majority of Brits drink at least three cups of tea per day. The most popular way to take it is with some milk (61% of respondents), but 11% prefer alternative milks, and 5.5% simply take it black.

If you’d like to learn some fun facts about this wonderful nation, Authentic Europe has got you covered. Did you know that stamps actually originated in the UK? The first one was issued in May 1840, featuring Queen Victoria. Stamps were a huge innovation, as they made sending letters more affordable. So postcards, letters, and Christmas cards became much more accessible!
Another fun fact is that Queen Elizabeth II never needed a passport. She traveled to over 100 countries while she reigned, but because British passports are issued in the name of the Queen, it was never necessary for her to carry one.

As we’ve mentioned, there’s absolutely no shortage of things to do and see in the United Kingdom. But if you’re in London, you have to see a live theatre performance. And did you know that the longest-running show in the world is on London’s West End? It’s Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, and it’s been dazzling audiences since 1952.

Now, if you’d rather see live sports than live theatre, that’s not a problem. Obviously, there’s plenty of football (or soccer, if you’re American) to catch in the UK. But if you’re looking for something more unique, why not check out cheese rolling? There’s an annual cheese rolling competition at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire, where participants chase a 3.2 kg wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down an incredibly steep hill. The winner is the person who crosses the finish line first, but it might be more fun to watch than participate, so you don’t have to worry about breaking a leg.

One thing that people often poke fun at Great Britain for is the country’s cuisine. There are countless jokes on the internet about how residents still eat like they’re in a war or that Brits invaded the whole world for spices, just to refuse to use any. But something that might surprise you is that chicken tikka masala is actually England’s national dish. There are nearly 2 million people of Indian ethnicity or nationality living in the UK, so you can actually find some of the best Indian food in the world there (outside of India, of course).

Even in London, you might spot a fox eating out of your trash can, and in the countryside, you can find plenty of hedgehogs, deer, squirrels, otters, and more. But did you know that the national animal of Scotland is actually the unicorn? Apparently, you can find them all over the country! Though you might not spot any that are actually alive.
