Have I fallen for British Banter? (Curious Perspective from Japan)
19 February 2026 @ 5:41 am
Hi all, I’m from Japan. The other day I asked about artefacts and the British Museum, and I learned a lot from all of you. Thank you again for the thoughtful (and sometimes passionate) perspectives. It genuinely meant a lot. But something unexpected happened in that thread. Someone mentioned that banter is a sign of friendliness in the UK. And the more I read the replies, the more I realised how much warmth and humour can exist even in disagreement. Somehow… I’ve started liking British banter. I’m still learning, of course. (If it’s only been 24 hours and you’re thinking “him again?” — that’s fair. Is that banter? I’m trying. ) So I’m curious: What’s a classic example of British banter? And are there any newer, more recent styles of banter that feel “hot” right now? Have you ever been teased in a way that made you think, �

What is the most nationally embarrassing photo to have come out of your country in recent history?

In 2019, a photo of Justin Trudeau, the previous prime minister of Canada, wearing ‘brownface’ make-up at a 2001 gala at a private school he taught at was leaked. Trudeau had to make a public apology soon after. It can be argued by many Canadians that this photo is one of the most embarrassing for the country in recent history.

I've been working in a town in West Yorkshire - I don't want to say much more about the location just in case what I've experienced is simply an unrelated coincidence - I wouldn't want to wrongly discredit a family business however my suspicions and senses tell me I'm not wrong. Basically I've recently been required to work on a construction site in the town centre and park my van in a carpark nearby. On the 3 days this week I have worked there I have noticed a distinctive, putrid, foul smell at the bottom of the street that firstly I just assumed was, well, related to the town just being a bit of a shithole - rubbish, rotten food, dirty clothes etc - the town is rife with unemployment, full of litter and it's not short of plenty of undesirable types. At the bottom of the street is a funeral directors - right where the smell is strongest. Now - I've walked past many a funeral home - there's ev
