It’s clear that the founder of the project has a deep appreciation for memes, humor, and Britishness as a whole. Combine all of them with lots of relatability and what you get is a solid community that loves a bit of banter and spans the internet. Of course, all of that success is bound to bring at least a few (dozen) copycats, too.
There are a lot of stereotypes floating around about what it’s like being a Brit. And though many of them are overly exaggerated renditions of life in the British Isles, there are some kernels of truth here and there. For one, the Brits really do love their tea! According to the UK Tea & Infusions Association, approximately 100 millioncups are drunkevery single day in the United Kingdom.
It’s not just a fascination with endless cups of tea that makes for truly British life. ‘Country Living’points outthat Brits are huge fans of dunking their biscuits in tea and simply love eating chips (aka fries) with weird toppings, from curry sauce (yum!) and cheese to gravy (delicious!). Anyone who’s tried curry or gravy on their chips knows that it’s hard to go back to plain potatoes afterward.
Some other quintessentially British things include the love of queues, avoiding sitting next to other people on public transport, and apologizing for practically everything and anything.As ‘Country Living’ also notes, the British are said to often pretend to like people that they actually don’t. It’s this stereotypical non-stop politeness that has made some people wonder whether Brits really mean it when they apologize or if, for many of them, it’s simply a cultural habit.

AsBritish writerand comedianAriane Sherinetold Bored Panda during a previous interview, life in the UK has its fair share of upsides and downsides"Let’s start with the good things first: we have the NHS, a healthcare system which is free at the point of use. It’s not perfect, but it needs to be cherished and protected. So medical procedures are free, except for dentistry, which is subsidized, as are prescriptions,” she said.

“Then we have strict gun laws which mean almost nobody has a gun and there’s virtually no gun crime. We have seasonal weather which means you never really know what you’re going to get. But it’s nice to have changing seasons, with occasional snow in winter. I guess climate change is going to alter that though,” the talented comedy writer said.
However, the UK is far from perfect! “It rains a lot and is quite gloomy weather-wise for much of the time. People are quite negative, sarcastic, and bitter though I don’t mind that so much,” Sherine told Bored Panda.For some more awesome Great British Memes, be sure to follow their socials andcheck outBored Panda’sprevious feature about them.
