**10 things that you’ll only find in England** 1. It is the kingdom of roundabouts. They have a roundabout every 10 meters, and they won’t just be simple 4 exit circles. Some of them are so complicated, you have to be a heck of a driver to figure them out and not to keep driving around in circles!  This is Swindon’s Magic Roundabout. It was voted to be UK’s worst one. It consists of 6 small roundabouts with a 6th big one in the middle. Could you get from A to B through this?! 2. It’s never too cold for shorts and slippers! What’s more, you can even go to the store in your pyjamas. Ok, Tesco has banned that one now, but it’s a good enough attire to take your kids to school. Would you go out of the house in your pyjamas?  Don’t be surprised if you see Batman shopping for groceries. You can wear whatever you want, no one will give you a second glance. You can die your hair pink or be a body builder in the women’s shoes section trying on high heels and they won’t care. 3. No celebration is small enough to have fireworks in your backyard. Really, people have private fireworks for Halloween behind almost every house. I heard babies and dogs go crazy. 4. The taps for cold and hot water are separate, with icy water coming out of one tap and boiling hot from the other one. So if you want to quickly wash your hands, you’ll need to move your hands fast to the left and right to make the temperature bearable.  5. Doctors think paracetamol is a universal treatment. They’ll tell you to take it if you visit them with joint pain, a cold, hormonal problems or constipation. 6. On the weekend everyone eats take away fish & chips and watches telly all day. Sometimes they go shopping.  Do you like fish & chips? I hate it! 7. They don’t like curtains on the windows, if you see a house with curtains you can bet foreigners live there. The other thing you’ll find weird is that they have a wall to wall carpet fitted in every room of the house, even n the kitchen! 8. Does it always rain here? No, just every week. Honestly, you’ll stop noticing after some time…or not.  9. They like to drink tea and they drink it with milk. No matter the time of the day or the occasion, any excuse is good enough to have a cup of tea. It’s a golden rule to stock up on tea and milk in every house and office.  Do you drink tea with milk? It tastes almost like coffee. 10. Don’t be surprised if you see Batman shopping for groceries. You can wear whatever you want, no one will give you a second glance. You can die your hair pink or be a body builder in the women’s shoes section trying on high heels and they won’t care. 11. In every house there is a fire alarm that will go off every time you start the cooker or take a hot bath. You’ll manage to disable it after going deaf. 12. The Christmas market starts in September and they build Christmas trees in October. 13. The bus drivers are the nicest people in the world, shop assistants come second. In a shop, they will guide you to the item you want and ask if they can help with anything else. 14. The English are very courteous. They will never tell you they didn’t like your cooking, or your new haircut is terrible. Everything is always wonderful and brilliant, the most frequented words in their vocabulary are ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’. 15. They have anti-freeze liquid in their veins instead of blood. They girls will go out in a bra and a tiny skirt at night in February because, well it looks better than wearing clothes. In the office your colleagues start complaining about the heath when it’s 15 degrees outside and will switch on the aircon so you freeze to death. 16. You can have a Sunday roast, another national dish, any day, not just on Sunday, it’s a mystery to me why it’s called a Sunday roast.  17. They have their children on a leash. No, they don’t bark, but they scream and they ay bite.
