Do you carry an umbrella wherever you go? :P

Is it really almost always cloudy over there? Seems depressing. I don't think I've ever seen footage of a Sunny Britain.

How bad is the term "bloody"? 

Do you guys call cigarettes !@#$%?

Nine times out of ten, yeah. Getting a full day of sunshine is rare; days without rain are also rare.

Depends on the bloody company you keep, eh? It's not as bad as !@#$%, but worse than damn.

Yeah. It's also an offensive term for homosexuals, which I make jokes outta alll the time. "Hey, look, he's going out for a !@#$% AND a cigarette!"

No, most people kinda dislike it or at least tolerate it. It's just a "lazy food" - easy to prepare.

And yes. Anti-Americanism is the last acceptable form of discrimination in this country. :P

1. Rather.
2. 'fraid not, luv.
3. Soon enough. It's just a shame that that isn't soon enough.

1. The "u"s in those words aren't unnecessary; they're needed for the correct pronunciations of the words. What's with the unnecessary "z"s? :P
2. Yeah, soccer does suck; it's a rubbish word. Football is awesome, because you actually play it with your feet rather than picking the sodding thing up, amirite.
3. I guess you lack the sophistication to find anything funny without a laugh track, I guess.
4. Indeed.
5. No, I'd buy you a pint.
6. Because it doesn't taste like ass, unlike coffee.

I'm American. If I were to run into a bunch of football hooligans, you know, real "blokey blokes", would I die?

Americans are renowned for being obese to the rest of the world...there are a bunch of fat people here...A LOT.  The English supposedly have very, very bad teeth.  Do you see quite a few people with really bad teeth?

Yes. Well, if you did anything that vaguely insults their team. Which includes saying anything other than "(insert team's name here) ROCKS!"

No. Never, really.

1. How does the £ system works? I used to know when I was a kid, but I forgot.
2. Which coins and notes do you have?
3. I had a feeling that the situation when England could have been banned from Euro 2004 (before the quarter-finals, for grave material damage, I even heard about a pregnant woman who lost her baby when mugged) didn't reach your media? Did you came to know about that?
4. What's your favorite football club?
5. In which part of England is Wimbledon?
6. Are there more favorite-holiday-destination of English than South of Portugal? There are seriously, lots of tourists from the British Isles.
7. Was a bit curious, how are chavs in England?
8. Do English history books mention any kind of break of an alliance with other country on 1890?

1. Not quite sure what you mean.
2. 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2, £5 in coins (£5 are commemorative coins).
£5, £10, £20, £50 in notes.
3. Never heard about that, but I don't follow football.
4. My hometown team, Reading FC. Recently made it into the Premiership and we're not doing too bad. A certain humiliating defeat of West Ham comes to mind. :P
5. Wimbledon is in London, I think.
6. Yeah, the south of Portugal isn't that popular. Cornwall, Blackpool, the Lake District, France, Italy, the Canary Islands and Florida are all very popular.
7. Chavs are everywhere here.
8. I never really studied British history, sorry. D:

Crumpets are a kind of bread thingy which are round and have holes in them. Taste nice toasted with butter on top :)
