    The first thing is that they buy a lot of caterpillar cakes, especially around Christmas time.

    First I’ve heard of this, but it wouldn’t surprise me

    The second thing is that they eat some of the most creative sandwiches, such as chip butties and pot noodle sandwiches.

    Chip butties are amazing. Some pubs back in the day used to serve chip barms for free.

    The third thing is that they call strangers pet names, such as love and sweetheart.

    Regional, but I think it’s dying off as some people take offence at it.

    The fourth thing is that they do Morris dancing.

    Only every other Sunday

    The fifth thing is that they take their shirts off as soon as the sun comes out.

    INNNNGGERRRRLLAAAAAANNNNDDDD

    The sixth thing is that they slap their knees when they are ready to leave.

    slaps knees RIGHT!

    I think I’ve heard this is a German thing too?

    The seventh thing is that they can be very polite to people they hate and very rude to people they love.

    This is so true! Thanks so much by the way for sharing this list, much appreciated.

    The eighth thing is that they bring in treats to work on their birthday.

    Yes. At first I thought it was bonkers because normally you receive gifts on your birthday, not give them out for everyone else! But it would get costly and fatty if everyone brought cakes in for one persons birthday.

    The ninth thing is that they say goodbye a lot of times.

    “Alright mate, cheers, yep… cheers mate, see ya, yeah have a good day now, cheers mate, bye, bye”
