American’s thread about strange British traits goes viral but do you agree

An American who’s been living in the UK for 10 years has expressed what she sees as the traits we Brits do, that everyone else finds, well, a bit weird.

What we might call eccentric might just come across as plain odd to others.

Jessica Rose – @jesslynnrose on Twitter – took a bit of time out to list all of the things she still found ‘weird as hell’ about the UK.

‘I now live in Birmingham which I am firmly convinced is the nicest city in the world to live in,’ she says. ‘I work in tech and have very ugly cats.’

Her thread about our foibles has just gone viral on Twitter because it’s very funny and true.
