United Kingdom

[Paul_UK]

Following on from New Jersey, Maine and California, let's cross the Atlantic.

What's the first thing that comes to your head when someone mentions the United Kingdom?

[Alywishous]

Jumping in puddles in the rain, galoshes, and a little brit tabby cat we had when I lived there

[EthanS]

Football!!....grey.. boring.. damp... and my home!:icon_bigg

[Jersey4Life]

Bad teeth :icon_redf. No offense, but that's the first thing that jumps into my head.

[Kimi]

[Lookimasian]

[Paul_UK]

The Big Bang Tower, clocks, watches>_<

You mean Big Ben I think...

Paul is that in your country, you guys call fries "chips", potato chips are "crisps", and coockies are " biscuits"

Yes. Also we call trash "rubbish", sidewalk "pavement", gas "petrol".... And we put an extra "u" in "colour" for no obvious reason. :grin:

[SpikySpice]

yup, hehe, sorry, I eman BIG BEN^^

yeah, because of the extra 'u" that why I really adore British people, I just loooOOOovvve their accents^^:love: sound really cute>_< to me^^

One time i showed my cousin the sord "colour" she said"taht aint real English" she meant American she said I dont know any English at all lol

So what do you guys call real biscuit?? Wangdoodle?

[EthanS]

Big BANG??? lmao dats a stupid name n wats wangdoodle:lol:

[SpikySpice]

Well, I thinkm it is a slang word, something small.

I found it in a book talking about American and British language , so they said wangdoodle is called for real biscuit, just asked Paul what is the real biscuit called

[Paul_UK]

Still biscuit - there is no word for a "real biscuit" that I'm aware of.

[SpikySpice]

I mean American biscuit,

[EthanS]

[Paul_UK]

He did - and I didn't know! :)

[joeyconnick]

You mean Big Ben I think...You never know with him. *grin*

Yes. Also we call trash "rubbish", sidewalk "pavement", gas "petrol".... And we put an extra "u" in "colour" for no obvious reason. :grin:Uhm... because that's how it's spelled!

Labour, neighbour, favourite, rumour, colour... hmmn... I'm sure there are others.

Centre, theatre, metre... do you guys spell aluminum aluminium?

Don't forget couch/sofa "chesterfield." I didn't know about pavement, though. Oh, sweater "jumper" and... well no one knows when I refer to the article of clothing called a "top." That is... well basically anything you can wear on the top half of your body that isn't a t-shirt or a sweater. And it isn't button-up i.e. you have to pull it over your head.

Oh... truck "lorry" and trunk "boot," right?

[joeyconnick]

Hail Britannia, Britannia rules the seas...

Seriously, that's what I think of. And "Remember, remember the 5th of November... gunpowder, treason, and plot."

My mum was British.

But definitely the accent is hot.

[Jim1454]

[Miaplacidus]

Uhm... because that's how it's spelled!

Labour, neighbour, favourite, rumour, colour... hmmn... I'm sure there are others.

I hate living here...

[xxAngelOnFirexx]

I just think of the map of Europe. when i was young i had a pen pal i met in florida who said she lived in the UK. well i didn't know what that meant since i head never had any lessons in geography and i used to think that the UK was in south america, brazil in particular.

[sparkyboyM]

'the united kingdom'?
well, the first thing that comes to MY mind is 'bloody hell, i live in one fu**ed-up country...'

...the UK in brazil? well, at least we might see some sunshine more than once a year...

...and as for you americans who steal our culture, those sports you call 'soccer' and 'football',
those are called 'football' and 'rugby'! you took two of our sports and changed the names around! give them back! now! no, i will put my straitjacket back on! no, no i don't want the injection... *is carted away back to the asylum*

[Hln D]

London, home, friends, life, happy, York, awesome, interesting, better-than-Dubai, etc etc...

[TriBi]

Ooh - someone resurrected a dead thread ;)

Well - I should be good at this one (given that I lived in the UK for rather a long time).

Let's see:...
Drizzle
Dirty Grey (NOT blue) sea
Green fields (well, all that rain has to have some benefit)
Narrow roads, small cars
Everything close together (no W I D E open spaces)
Such a variety of accents in such a small space

I could probably go on - but I'd just bore people silly...
