Don’t believe us? Just take a trip across the ocean to another continent and then get back to us about how different things are. Ok, you don’t even need to take a flight, just hop in the car and drive several hours in any direction and you’ll find that the place you end up in is different in many ways from the place you left. Culture, religion, politics and landscape can be very different just a couple hundred miles down the road – even if it’s still in the same country. Yes, the communications revolution may have brought people closer together but the world remains as diverse and large as it was decades ago. For North Americans, Britain and the rest of the United Kingdom is one of the most familiar of the world’s foreign lands. After all, while the English we speak may be different today in a number of ways, the language so many of us are familiar with today has its roots across the Atlantic Ocean. In the grand scheme, whether you live in Canada or the United States, your country, in one way or another, owes its existence to this overseas kingdom. Both countries may have gone about reaching independence very differently, but in the grand scheme both exist because of the vast empire which existed long ago. Despite the historical and language ties which we share with England and the UK, once you take a closer look at this land, there are a number of characteristics which we might think of as being rather weird. There are the generalizations and stereotypes which most us know; such as belief that the British all have bad teeth, it rains every day and the beer is always served warm. There are, actually, quite a few other things about the UK that are weird and not based on stereotype or generalization. These are the ‘little things’ that set this part of the world apart from other English speaking lands. The following video looks at some of the weirdest things a traveller might find in the United Kingdom. Our other videos have dealt with strange things like Haggis and cheese racing, so we’ll move on to some other items you may be less familiar with. Ahead are a number of things you’ll find weird (if you’re not from the UK) from various laws and foods to word pronunciations, television shows and customs. Of course, these doesn’t make the people of the UK weird – well, any weirder than the rest of us.
