"Piss" must be such a confusing word for visitors to the UK. You can be Pissed (drunk), take the Piss (say something sarcastic or incorrect), have a Piss (to urinate), be Pissed off (to be annoyed), be Pissing around (behaving stupid), be a Piss head (regulary get drunk and act stupid), drink Piss water (a weak or watery drink), something can be a piece of Piss (easy), it can be Pissing down (raining), or Piss can simply mean urine.

I like the tradition of shouting "wahey!" when a glass shatters. It's entirely meant in a friendly fashion. It's the whole room saying "we don't mind", "it's not a big deal" and cheering them on. To say "don't get stressed, as accidents happen, and no-one minds that this has happened". With some distance, it's even funny and definitely NOT a big deal. That's the context it's meant in. It's defusing a stressful situation with humour. Telling the staff member that it's fine, we got your back and it's not a big deal. So, really, don't stress about it but just laugh along with us. If you understand it that way, then it's actually perfectly endearing that everyone joins in with the "ah, don't worry about it" re-assurance and cheers you on.

It might be seen as a laugh by the customers doing it, but to all the staff I ever worked with, it felt the same as someone walking into your office, pointing at your cubicle, and shouting "HAHAHAHA, you screwed up at your job!" so that the the entire office turns to stare and laugh at you too.

I'm a 76 year old Brit and a couple of years ago I employed a young Brazilian woman to clean for me, I am disabled. There is a 50 year difference in our ages but we became great friends and she just reminded me of me all those years ago when I first stumbled into London, not knowing my arse from my elbow. She was/is a qualified architect but it wasn't beneath her to clean for an old man, and I must say did a great job. When she finally left to go back to Brazil after 3 years, there were floods of tears on both sides. She's coming back and hoping to start up her own business here, I will do all I can to help. So yes; it's the core of ourselves, we come from different parts of this planet but we are human beings.

Re: "mind the gap", do you know the story behind the recording used at Embankment? At Embankment you will hear the recording as performed by Oswald Laurence. After he died Margaret (his wife and now widow) would sit at Embankment to hear his voice. Back in 2012 TfL updated the announcement with a new voice and Margaret was distraught. However, TfL dug into the archives and found his recording. So Embankment is the only station at which you will hear his voice. I think it's a rather beautiful act to comfort a grieving widow. Edit: it might also be fun to ask your mum to try say the names of British places that are pronounced differently to how they're spelt (like Greenwich).

I was only really isolated in Nash but it looked like a nice area. The bf panicked when I was taking a pic of a Dodge in NYC that was full of young black men, and I could certainly see his point, so I used my best English accent to loudly point out to "my fella" that i was sure they wouldn't mind as it was a beautiful car.

There are so SO many things that are region specific in the UK...words and phrases that I have never heard of. But also so many things that are uniquely British that I took for granted when I was living there. The thing about feeling safe was an interesting one because recently I went to the states for the first time (NYC so obviously not classic USA) and I remember thinking "wow it's so incredibly safe here and everyone is ridiculously nice" but then I remembered that I was looking at it from a Parisian perspective where people are just mean all the time for the fun of it. Makes you appreciate where you come from. Also your mom is just adorable! Please make more videos with her ❤

As someone who lives in the more rural part of the UK, closer to Bristol than London, being in very busy places can be quite overwhelming. I've been to London once before, and I loved every bit of it, but to say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. London is very busy with so much going on and things to do, so as someone more accustomed to the slower and more casual parts of the UK, it was hard to get use to. I'm glad your mum enjoyed going to the UK as well as feeling quite safe here! It's lovely to know she enjoyed herself so much :)

I had also seen less horrors in my life than I have now too. I don't think it's necessarily any more dangerous than it was when I was younger... fear's just a subjective thing based on our own experiences and level of confidence.

POSH apparently came from the 18th / 19th century where wealthy British travelers to India by ship wanted cabins in the shade away from the hot Sun, and took the cabins on the LEFT or port-side to India (Port Outward) and and the cabins on the RIGHT or starboard-side on the return trip to Britain (Starboard Homeward). They then had the letters POSH on their luggage and tickets to indicate that they had obviously paid a lot more for their tickets in order to get the better situated 'cooler' cabins.

I am a social person who will start a conversation with anyone. Even if it's just to ask best place to have a snack and a cuppa. When people see you are genuinely interested they are only to happy to show you around their lovely town or city if not too busy. made many a new friend over a cup of tea. I mainly stay in the Midlands. Up North like York and Carlisle Wales. Went on 7 trips last year before I had a bad fall at home and fractured my pelvis in 6 places and missed out on 4 trips that I hope to go on this year to make up for missing the l missed last year. Looking forward to meeting more friendly locals. can't beat UK for safety and nice people. No one trigger happy here. no guns. No gun shops, no one shooting at you. Just decent people of all ages happy to talk. Bring your mum to Staffordshire Brad, beautiful county. Especially the countryside if your mum likes walking trips. Leek Moorlandsand The Roaches. A place. Not insects, miles of countryside, get on the Leek to Buxton Road to Derbyshire and the Peak District. Take a steam train ride with afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones with jam and fresh whipped cream and assortment of bakes washed down with pot of tea.

It doesn’t happen on the motorway, though! Happens in car parks, usually. In cars! Started off that people would have sex in cars to be seen by dog walkers (hence ‘dogging’). Has evolved into sex in cars where anyone can pull up beside and watch.
