Just for fun...
I am an NHL fan from England. There are some things that often get described here as “Quintessentially English”. I was just wondering if some very English things were really known overseas, so just for fun, below are a few things that English People would know about. Do they make any sense to you?

- I’ll start with something most know about, but maby not the workings… Cockney Rhyming Slang. Do you know what a Cockney is? Would you know what is meant when a Cockney says, “You’ve got a lovely pair of minces!”?
- If an English man said he was off to Liverpool to watch the National, do you know what he would be doing?
- In a big event, celebrated all over the UK, an effigy of which historical English figure gets ritually burned in November of each year
- “Kiss Me Quick” became a bit of catch phrase in Blackpool, many years ago. If you were displaying this message, what item of clothing would you be likely to have on?
- Do Sid, Babs, Kenneth, Bernie and the rest of the “Carry On Team” mean anything to you?
- In which British city would you see the “Old Firm Derby”?
I’d be interested to hear what you know on the above. The vast majority of Brits would know about them all!
