Here is another Listen to English podcast with native English speakers from London.

In this episode, teachers Melissa and Bren talk about the typical characteristics associated with the English and life in the UK.

So, you will hear natural language and vocabulary to do with drinking a cup of tea, only eating fish and chips, always carrying an umbrella, loving the queen, wearing bowler hats, eating scones and clotted cream. All those quintessential British things!

British food has a bad reputation around the world, but the idea of our food being rubbish is a bit outdated.

For decades now, celebrity chefs have had extremely popular television cookery programmes (think of Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Nigella Lawson) and the standard of cuisine across Britain has been raised immeasurably.

Everywhere you go through the UK, you can find gastro pubs serving incredible mouthwatering meals that will make your taste buds tingle and mean that you never say 'fish and chips' again to describe English food.

London transport can be a bit of pain in the a#$@ sometimes. The Tube has lots of people on it and everyone is just trying to go to work or get home, so not many people feel like talking to a complete stranger sitting next to them. 

So people do different things on their commute to try to make life a bit more enjoyable: some people read a book, lots of people stare at their phones, some listen to music on big headphones, many people read the free London newspapers - The Evening Standard and The Metro.
