I love my tea. Britain is best full stop.

[jeepers]

I can’t be the only Brit who feels a need to point out that they’re a Brit in _every_ video/ post about Britain in whatever way I can

[caitlynmcavoy]

it annoys me that nearly everything about the UK is always about England. come on, all he said about Scotland was that we exist and how many sightings of Nessie have been reported

[urmum]

When people think of Great Britain they normally think of England
But they don't think about Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales (btw I live in Wales and I don't have the funny accent tbh I sound like I come from London)

[lunardoge]

Bonus! There are only 22 countries that Britain hasn't invaded...

[AB-stgf]

Thought this was 'facts about the UK', the title should be 'facts about the queen and London', nothing about N.I, Wales, Scotland or areas outside

[TheAnnshoes]

6#: (facepalm) Seriously, where did you Americans get that lie about us drinking loads of tea. I'm a pure British person and don't even drink any tea.

[xxkawaiishippingbasexx]

I hope you Americans don't take this in a bad way but I'm scottish and I went to America for two weeks and some Americans kept asking if I was from ENGLAND well I don't sound English again please don't take that in a bad way people from america. And people from the uk don't drink that much tea a day where did you get that lie

[simplysociopathic]

Guess I have to learn how to tolerate tea when I go to the UK someday 😆
