A British woman asked people how to give her American friend the ‘real British experience’ – the 17 funniest and most spot-on responses Achi-News

It’s time to return to the cultural divide, not the abyss, between Britain and the US after a British woman asked people for their tips on how to give her American boyfriend a “real British experience”.

Here is the question sophietheadventurer Out to the good people of Reddit.

“My American friend is visiting the UK in two weeks, how do I give him the real UK experience?

‘Take it to Greggs and tell him it’s considered fine dining? Spoons during the day? Take a dip in the Thames? Swan lasso?

‘One week in London (where I live) and one week on the east coast of Scotland with my family (God bless him).’

And it provoked a lot of funny and totally spot-on (and sometimes even useful!) responses. We’ve read them all—well, quite a few of them—so you don’t have to, and these 17 said it best.

“When my partner from California came to visit a few years ago, I convinced my friends and family to help him. I convinced him that 1:00 pm is official tea time in the UK, and most of the country sits down to drink tea and cookies and have a 10-minute break and chat.

“We would set alarms on our phone and stop what we were doing right away for tea and keep it going for 5 days. He really believed it was like our countries version of a siesta.’

“A very long time ago my housemate had a friend from the US for a day.

“We had a huge bite in a cafe, a few slips in the park, lunch in a beer garden that went down to drinking for the day. He was introduced to Newcastle brown ale, bad amphetamines in a punk bar, saw some live thrash punk, got into what can best be described as a small punk riot outside the bar, and got bailed out of a police cell in the morning.

‘He claimed it was one of the best days of his life.’

“Sandwiches of crab paste and a bottle of tea while sitting in the car, parked in a car park on the top of a cliff, on a rainy day staring out at the gray sea, convincing each other that the weather doesn’t affect your holiday plans. And then going to a high street full of charity shops to look for cheap books for an hour and a half And then they leave with nothing.’
