Not the tea, though. I half suspect the travesty enacted here was pure mischief to trigger the natives. Teabags are to be stewed in the teapot!! One for each person and one for the pot.

My grandad always used to get pissed at people who asked if he wanted sugar in his tea because they thought they’d look after his health by asking. His standard response was “what’s the point of tea if you’re not gonna put sugar in it?”

[@sarahnolan2941]

Nobody makes tea in a teapot in the UK, not every day anyway, that tends to just be in cafes and restaurants or if you've got guests you're trying to impress. In the house you'd boil your ELECTRIC kettle, teabag in your mug (it has to be a mug not a piddly little teacup) pour on boiling water, stew it to your strength preference, teabag out, then milk or sugar or both, again as per one's preferences

[@EnaGoba]

Oh i absolutely saw that maltesers diabetic joke coming 😀 as soon as "strenuous exercise" was said ... you know what's coming (WINK)

[@nataliekeller]

If you have a teapot, that's where the teabag goes. If you don't have a teapot then it goes it the cup/mug. You don't pour the hot water into the pot then into the mug!

We say 'ay up duck' in Stoke on trent aswell... loved seeing Jack teach british things 😂

[@danielgardecki1046]

Duck is not a Yorkshire thing. It's a "South Yorkshire" and "counties which surround South Yorkshire" thing. It's not said at all in West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, or the East Riding of Yorkshire.

[@GorgeousBeautyx3]

This needs to be called 'Jack Whitehall teaches you how to be English' - Britain has other countries... Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland, none of which were mentioned in this video and no examples of the accents in these other countries in Britain. Always seems England is just classed as Britain and the rest of the countries are totally forgotten about.

[@ktwatson09]

defo agree

[@joshkingman249]

I agree, but i think they already have a Scottish and Irish one so that might be why they aren't in here

[@sasxbull3tz108]

Northern Ireland is not in Britain. Its is part of the United Kingdom.

[@louiselincoln]

For the linguistic anglophiles - Jack's missed a few nuances here, but I'm sure Susie Dent would be able to clarify. Trollied: inebriated to the point of not longer being able to walk, requiring assistance to stand. Normally said person is moved by using a commandeered shopping cart, late at night, which may result in a canal finding itself having a slightly raised water level by 4am. Tea should be made by 'stewing' the bags IN the TEAPOT!!!! JACK!! Please!!!! I could go on but, in honour of being quintessentially British, I must now hold my tongue and maintain my stiff upper lip. Over and out.

[@arsonsoundsgoodrn]

3:20 as a British person, i actually have almost a different like.. way of making the tea. The tea bags don't have a string attached. I put it in with 2 teaspoons of sugar then add the water. Let it soak then get the teaspoon and kind of her all of the water out of the teabag using the side of the cup. Basically just pressing it hard enough against the cup. Then I add mile and wowie it's a tea! It's really interesting seeing how others don't do it like I've been doing it since 5!

[@Xeroph-5]

This is how I do it too. I wonder if it's a northern thing?

[@thefurrybastard1964]

I put in the 2 spoonfulls of sugar, then the tea bag. Then I pour the water in. I stir it vigourously and squeeze the bag with the spoon until the water is a rich red-brown. Then I put in a small amount of milk.
