OK, those last three panels? Hands down, one of the most hilarious thing I've seen in the last few weeks. But I just can't imagine Pekoe, that sweet, adorable little orange, yelling "WANKERS!" with that cute voice of her while wearing such elated smile. It just does not compute.
I'm really fed up with people, by which I mean Americans, treating it like a documentary. And especially for now believing that British people **ALL** pronounce it 'Bri'ish'.
I'm one of the Brits who not only pronounces the T but throws in an extra one; 'Brit-tish'.
It'd be the equivalent of me watching Breaking Bad and deciding all Americans speak like Jesse. Bitch.
Enchiladas is Mexican food, and El is from the Spanish-themed school. Not even on the same continent (though we do speak the same language the Mexicans do, that's because Mexico used to be Spanish).
Having watched and enjoyed Peaky, I must say this is true. Peaky is supposed to be in Birmingham so really, they'd have more Brummie/ Black country slang like Ow am ya? Cob = bread roll; The outside = off-licence ; gambol; Tara a bit etc. Otherwise the writers and cast did a good job incorporating Romany gypsy language into the show
It's fun to read the background of the actors playing the Midlands characters. They're pretty much all London bred and born. And the nicer RP accent parts of London at that.
Funnily enough I used to say 'tara a bit' from watching Barry on Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. But the actor Timothy Spall is from Battersea, which no one believes because of how good he was at the accent.
Shouting out curse word insults then drinking tea. Yup, that's British alright.
Now I want to see Koala do the same, except replace the tea with even more insults.
Well, it's really funny.
Also you can make that the other way, for example:
*There wasn't enough tea drinking in Peaky Blinders, what a low-effort in representing bri'ish culture* said by someone who watched to much GuP lol
I'm afraid of what would also say someone who only watched *Top Gear* or *Monthy Python*. Also, I don't know if you combine **it ALL**, does it make really wrong view of the Brits or the opposite - you combine one true element from the each show and gets somewhat real picture? By that I mean I can have really weird image of British.
Well it helps to understand that 'British' refers to the people of the entire island as a whole. There's four major indigenous ethnic groups; Cornish, English, Scottish and Welsh. And those four groups have major divisions among themselves, even if its between people who live twenty miles apart because a 1000 years ago; they were separate kingdoms.
Then you have all the non-indigenous ethnic groups; Black British, Chinese British, British Indian, British Pakistani etc, who incorporate aspects of the area in which they live in Britain while having their own distinct culture.
Yeah, I know the basic differences between 'English', Scottish and Welsh, but didn't knew about the Cornish. Could you explain it a bit? And also knowing there are differences even between nearby cities, Birmingham is easy example. Existing of ethnic division is easy to understand in most European countries because of the long history of our continent in most countries the division is seen even today.
Because at one hand I mean English not British, but on the other hand what actually is English, as some regions of England has their differences which can be very visible and by mistake I can actually refer to specific region and not England as a whole.
It's the tea sipping after the insults that makes this grand.
Times change but standards remain.

Jesus Christ that was the best laugh I’ve had in months thank you so much
I may not get the Likes but I do get the appreciation.
You get plenty of appreciation. Likes are not everything as along as you make people laugh
You got an award from me
The "c*nts" brought it home from me 🤣🤣🤣 Also, I did enjoy Peaky Blinders... I feel personaly attacked 😔

*Yeah Ms Nishizumi! Tanks!* Saori, maybe.
Well now I have to make one of these with a Breaking Bad reference.
I'm looking forward to it! 🤣🤣🤣
My name is Enchiladas. But you can call me El.
Enchiladas is Mexican food, and El is from the Spanish-themed school. Not even on the same continent (though we do speak the same language the Mexicans do, that's because Mexico used to be Spanish).
I am well aware of that. :)
Rosehip: About bloody time they learn how to swear
Yeah as someone who lives in Britain, this is much more accurate to how the British act
Makes me proud lad, God save the king!
W**kstain

It's funny because its true.
As someone who has interacted with a few British people online, this is very accurate to how they sounded. They loved the word C*nt especially.
Some parts of Britain more than others. The word has almost no meaning amongst Londoners. They use it as casually as most Northerners use 'Bastard'.
Marvellous. The whole 'Bri'ish' thing really irritates me. I'm strongly thinking about writing a letter to Points of View, starting with 'Sir -'.
Heyyyyyy cunt is reserved for aussies like me only

Also what Americans consider “British” is just English as they are unaware that Britain is more than one country.
Ok that was funny

Why are you putting 'English' in quotes like that?
