I was born and bred in England. Been living in LA for the past 16 years. This thread is like a big warm comfort blanket.
Now how do I get my hands on some of them chocolate custard creams??
There’s a bunch of British and Irish shops here but they’re bloody expensive. I always go at christmas to get mince pies, but they’re like 6 quid a box (6). 
Sounds like they’ve got the Irish pricing there!
Exhibit A isn’t coffee, it’s desert for people that don’t like coffee.
I am a coffee wanker in the sense that I buy good coffee and grind it with a grinder that costs the same as one of my synths, but it’s really simple to brew good coffee in the plastic thing I have and it turns out a delicious black filter coffee in about 5 minutes.
Same as I am with synths really. Get something good, learn how to use it pretty simply, and then fucking use it.
In Hamburg. At breakfast. “What coffee you like?”. Nah mate, tea? I’ll have a tea. “Ok, what tea sir?”. Breakfast tea mate, just simple will do. “No problem sir coming right up”.
Result:
What in fck is this nonsense? Don’t know if I was to pour it or shoot it up…
It’s a tribute to the peoples princess, lady die, with a candle on the wind
Looks like someone asked ShatGPT what English breakfast tea is and this is what it gave them.
I used to have this mate who could fart on command. One of his party tricks was putting a candle out by floating a particularly powerful air biscuit in the flame’s direction.
It was always funny because people were expecting him to be trying to do the old fart flamethrower, but the sight of him snuffing it out instead had people in stitches every time.
Great days…
Haha that’s better than some melter with their dog on britains got talent
Not all fire fighters wear yellow hats…
What about Fluid “fl oz” Ounce ?
Yards and miles? All gone?
Thought the same. (“It must be AI” has now replaced “It must have been photoshopped”)
I’d love to see a remake of Salem’s lot with Waterman and Cole! Gawd bless’um!
Imagine Arfa’ saying “Master??”
I’d buy that for a quid! 
I don’t know if anyone uses them much - certainly not the fluid ounces. Miles and yards seem eternally popular, especially as far as road users go.
The “fl oz” used to fascinate me when I was reading everything I could on the breakfast table, as a kid.
Me too, and they became progressively less and less used in the UK - America still does, of course; and cups. Bloody cups are everywhere online now as a measurement in recipes!
I heard more people in the Commonwealth are succumbing to saying “math.”
ermrgrd!
The fluid ounce has gone. Miles still in use. Yards pretty much gone, apart from on a few rural road signs that they haven’t bothered to update. I used to think about humans as being weighed in “stones”, but I’m slowly going metric. For some reason though, everyone shares the birth weight of their child in pounds and ounces.
