Manage episode 319485073 series 2545331
We begin with a 'Slice of London Life' segment about the closing of several Tesco-owned stores & counters due to the decreasing demand for meat & fish products.
We then talk about 10 things that are perfectly acceptable in the U.S. but horrifying in the UK:
- Saying someone has a lot of spunk
- The name Randy
- Over the top customer service
- Anything just over an hour being a short trip
- Politicians mentioning religion
- Inverse peace sign
- Addressing strangers as sir
- Telling people to hold the train
- Eating sandwiches without butter on the bread
- No school uniforms
