American living in England exposes most stupid questions she gets asked by her US friends

American living in England exposes most stupid questions she gets asked by her US friends

Lisa, who lives in Leeds, spilled all

Depending on where you are, when you say you’re from the UK, it may bring in a flurry of questions.

This is especially the case when you’re over in the US. It just seems like a lot of Americans are a bit obsessed with us Brits.

Viral on TikTok for her videos as a ‘Georgia Peach in Yorkshire’, Lisa Dollan documents her life in the north of England.

And in one post, she shared the ‘dumb questions I get from my American friends about the UK’.

And some of them are fairly funny – if not awkward.

Lisa awkwardly gets asked if she's 'met the Queen'.

One of the first is : “Oh my god, have you met the Queen?"

She also regularly gets asked: “How are things in London?” despite living in Leeds. Classic. Another she gets is the ‘I bet everybody over there talks really posh’ comment.

Lisa jokes her response: “No, oddly there are about 623 different accents – and that’s just in the north,” as she explains: “Americans still think it’s the one accent.”

A particularly odd one, which I personally appreciate Lisa shutting down, is: “Is it true that people over there don’t wear deodorant?”

I mean, where does that idea even come from?

Others include Americans seeming to think we eat ‘little cakes’ with cups of tea every day at 3.00pm or that everywhere in the UK is ‘just like Notting Hill the film’.

And then there’s: “Oh my god do people over there have bad teeth compared to us?”

Even Lisa finds her friend's questions 'bananas'.

Lisa insists the dental hygiene is ‘just as good’ here as she calls her friends' questions ‘bananas’.

One user wrote in the comments: “This has actually p**sed me off lmao.”

A lot believe she ‘should of lied about the tea’ as they say ‘nobody gives away the afternoon tea secret’.

Another put: “You’re giving our secrets away, what are we supposed to wind the Americans up about now.”

Meanwhile, one user summed up: “So we all stink, we’re mates with the Queen, and survive on tea at 3.”

Although Lisa did admit about the odd string of questioning in the caption of her vid: “To be fair I used to think the exact same way before I moved here.”

I appreciate the honesty.
