They walk around in shorts and a T-shirt as soon as temperatures are higher than 10° Celsius. ;)

Their politeness
The biggest out there

[Polygraph]

Say sorry when it’s unnecessary, then next shot him saying “say it again sorry” 😂 2:17

Eating fried eggs and bacon for breakfast 🍳, taking an umbrella everywhere 🌂 and the English humour typified by Mr Bean 🕴

[macclift]

Saying "sorry"...a lot. I just love them!

[TheBluesLab]

too short for me :/ I could watch for hours :D So nice to listen to this beautiful everyday English and being able to understand (while reading) Honestly awesome :D

Brazilian here.

I was taught by British Teachers only and I don't feel guilty for saying "I'm sorry."

It is a lot more natural in comparison to the Brazilian Portuguese Language.

Here we use "Sorry, my bad.", same as you, when we didn't mean to be mean, not meant to hurt anyone but somehow you find out you screwed up.

That's normal, at least in my view.

Never met a British person I didn't like a lot.

You are truly special people.

Sometimes it almost seems like British people are sorry for their own existence, if know what I mean.

If that's the case, STOP.

Go look at yourself in the mirror, realize you are from one of the greatest people in the world.

Stylish, you do look stuck up, but you're not. You are warm people, perhaps more introverted than most people, but is that an issue? No it isn't .

You enjoy preserving your individuality, nothing wrong with it.

Land of the greatest writers, poets, etc

Chin up, beat on your chest.

Be proud of because GOD delivered to Parents this amazing human being YOU.

I don’t really associate politeness as an English stereotype. I think stereotypes have changed a lot over the years.

[fathilabdalhassan]

We are happy more to back your a new episode thank you for givingof the constans

[williamandres]

I think they're highly polite. Sometimes, when I walked on the roundabout ever there people said "I beg your pardon" or the other one I love is "honestly".

[di]

Welcoming, politeness, seriousness, hospitality

[shortvideos]

They always say "honestly but never honest" its a good one)

[laurafernandes]

Great job! I am always watching these videos and it is helping to learn English. A cup of tea is a good stereotype for English people's.

This question was asked in a recent Easy German episode and was misinterpreted. I thought it was because the concept isn't directly translated by the words. I feel that many speakers in this video misinterpreted it too. The concept of 'guitly pleasure' has more to do with embarrassment than guilt i.e. what do you do / like at is so embarrassing that you don't want to admit it (you feel 'guilty' because it's a secret) It's often something that other people would laugh at you for doing / liking.

[rolandhersan]

I'm Latino, and for some reason I always say sorry"(perdón), I can't avoid it(in both languages).

English stereotypes: drinking tea multiple times a day.
