Things you know after you’ve been in the UK…

You have to mind the gap between the train and the platform. You are not surprised to see an old lady, her daughter and her granddaughter dancing together in a club. You talk about the weather all the time. You hear "WHA" instead of W-H-A-T ! and "THA" instead of T-H-A-T!!! You have asked to borrow ten "quid" instead of ten pounds from someone It is 23.45 and the bell rings in the pub. Last orders mate, lets have 2 pints each... You realize that every product you buy "may contain trace of nuts" Your sentences begin with..."to be honest"... You are addressed as "treacle, sugarplumb, darling, sweetheart, love, ...." (and all other versions of nicknames in that genre you normally only call your wife/lover) by the staff in supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. You realize that British people are queuing politely everywhere except at the bar counter

You realize that you have never seen an English Restaurant It's only five and every single shop is closed! "hello/hey, how are you?" is replaced by "you alright?" You have a fire exit in your house. You learn that 4 cups of tea per day is good for you. You realize that no matter how weird the clothes you're wearing are, people just won't care. In case you need to get your hands clean, you realise that you only have two options: boil your hands in water near to 90º or see how they become two beauty ice-cubes. You're outside and don't even notice it's raining anymore, because it is just simply normal to you by now. You think you're going to visit a palace, a castle or a chapel and you only see a few old stones. You see 3 kebab shops and 2 indian restaurants in every street.

You've had a Full English Breakfast with bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, etc and you think it's amazing You see Tesco as an important social meeting point. You hear and say "sorry" at least 10 times a day. You've said "cheers mate" more than twice You are kicked out of a pub at 11.30 pm You realize that dinner time is 6pm You wake up every morning knowing that it's quite unlikely that you're going to see the sun. You have tried the symbol of British food, a breaded piece of fish with fries and they call it "fish & chips".
