I'm Not British (feddit.uk)
submitted 2 years ago by Warped@feddit.uk to c/casualuk@feddit.uk

Apparently drinking iced coffee in this heat, makes me not British. At least according to the old man at the local café, as I walked out with my drink. So what is a British drink on hot days?

Where do I hand my passport in?

Enjoying something on a hot day is decidedly unBritish, you scoundrel! Instead you should have been tentatively sipping a blisteringly hot cup of bad tea and complaining loudly and extensively all the while.

Bloody foreigners. Can't even be bothered learning our customs! Pshaw!

Can't go wrong with a cuppa tea and a spoonful of denial.

I had to scroll down THIS far to see Pimm's? WTF? Are there any actual Brits on here??

Funnily enough, hot tea is quite cooling. It's really popular in Botswana.

Anyhoo, a Magnum, please.

Please head to the nearest Pret A Manger for expatriation processing.

Anything other than hot tea with milk (and optional sugar) is deviant!

Yes, the caffeine and the hot water will make you sweat, which will have a cooling effect.

Ah the Gatekeeper has been found.

Now, we search for the Keymaster.

Milky, tea with bag left in, that's not been drunk in time and is now revoltingly tepid. Bonus points for 4 teaspoons of undissolved sugar at the bottom.

I'm gonna go with iced coffee and a good loud tut at the old boy who bothered you.

I've no idea. I don't drink hot drinks at all and people think I'm strange because of that. I had one person tell me they don't trust people who don't have hot drinks. I hope they were only joking.

I had an iced Americano yesterday, I'll join you in founding a new nation of enlightened coffee drinkers.

My entire family mocked me for drinking coldbrew last summer, I caught two of them buying some last week and they told me they never did it so remember it's only good when they know it's good
