https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8mzWkuOxz8 For some reason, movies and television shows have a tendency to show off the majority of British people as speaking with perfect, posh accents. You'd be hard pressed to actually find anyone even in central London that sounds like that though.
1. Our Tea Drinking Habits
If you mean we drink a lot of tea, you'd be exactly right. If you mean that we ritualise the process with 4 o'clock afternoon tea and bone china, you'd be exactly wrong. We Brits love our tea, but it usually consists of boiling water poured straight into a massive mug, with none of that posh nonsense.

Are there any other misconceptions that you've heard people claim about Britain? Let us know below!
