Wish I could upvote this for just the first section, it's still not a double standard though because smell =/= size

This was originally a Reddit post and yes I think it was Switzerland, but Tolkein got most of his landscape inspiration from England

That's not Prince George...

In reply to the original post in this thread, I'm English and most people I know say Merry Christmas.

That's fair enough but not being certain and not having a clue are two different matters entirely

I think L-R top row is sycamore, birch or elm, some kind of pine and bottom row; English oak, possibly cherry, and not sure about the other one. If you taught tree identification for 5 years I'm surprised you don't recognise any of them.

I always think Ed Sheeran sounds pretty English, which songs does he sound American in?

But that was researching how humans react to authority not to external reward.

What? So what security is in place to stop someone stealing a card and just going on a spending spree?

Not sure about the carbon copy bit but from what I can gather you have to sign, I imagine like it used to be in the UK where you hand your card to the cashier, the till prints a receipt, customer signs it, the cashier checks the signature compared to the back of the card and keeps that copy and presses ok and it prints another receipt for the customer.

I just googled because I thought surely this is a mistake, and yep they don't have contactless or at least not as widespread as other countries and in fact even chip and pin is more advanced than it gets in America. That's what this meme is referring to. I initially though swipe must mean contactless but nope it means the old fashioned swipe and sign the receipt method.

A guy from France climbed it with no previous climbing experience, there's a film about it The Ascension

My mum bought some VHS tapes from a charity shop so she could show my brothers and me, I'm glad there's videos of him on YouTube now, his humour is so innocent and silly.

UK thing too, I usually refer to ours as the Drawer of Doom
