This 'Beginner's Guide' To England For Tourists Is Excellent

This 'Beginner's Guide' To England For Tourists Is Excellent

This is so accurate that it's weird.

Last year an American tourist went on a big, long Facebook rant about England. It was quite long-winded, but Scott Waters listed just about everything he learned on his trip to our little island and it left us feeling quite patriotic.

Now, someone has created a beginner's guide to England, and although it's littered with sarcasms and slight over-exaggerations, it's weirdly accurate.

It's fair to say that if you travel to our capital you'll have to sell your old PlayStation games, left foot, nan, and spend your entire life savings to get from Waterloo to London Bridge.

It's also very accurate to say that if we go to a restaurant, and tell our dates: 'this tastes like utter shit', we'll still say: 'absolutely delicious, fantastic, can't wait to come back,' to a waiter.

While we are guilty of a lot of the things in the video, we are mightily proud that our words mean completely different things to the likes of America and Australia.

Like, fuck your 'chips', they're crisps. And don't be coming at me saying 'sneakers', let's have it right and call them trainers.

Finally, the narrator of the video goes on to explain football, before saying 'Iceland can suck a fat one'. Preach.
