The territory of the United Kingdom is divided into two main areas based on relief features. The Highlands of Britain (including Northern Ireland), located in the north and west of the country, are underlain by resistant ancient bedrock and consist mostly of highly dissected uplands and much less widespread lowlands. To the south and east lies Low Britain, characterized by rolling terrain, low elevations and several mountainous areas; younger sedimentary rocks lie at its base. The border between High and Low Britain runs approximately in a south-westerly direction from Newcastle at the mouth of the Tyne to Exeter at the mouth of the Exe in south Devon. This boundary is not always clearly defined, and often the transitions between High and Low Britain are smoothed out. In general, the country's topography is so diverse that, driving in one direction for more than an hour, you cross several different landscapes.

You will rarely meet a person on earth who has not heard anything about England. Every self-respecting tourist should visit this state to fall in love with its rich history and become imbued with its traditions. Today you have the opportunity to learn about rare facts in England.
1. In Britain, pigs are not castrated, so it is better not to buy pork or order it in restaurants, but if the smell and taste of boar urine in meat is normal to you, then you can. The British really love bacon for breakfast, and in the morning a specific stench emanates from the food. I once tried to talk to supermarket managers, I thought maybe there was some kind of identification system on the packages, but they didn’t even understand what I was talking about and why they castrate pigs. But there is a lot of halal meat, I am surprised that none of the green and other eco-animal lovers almost protests against it, because the slaughter of animals according to Muslim traditions is very cruel.
2. England almost doesn’t have its own national cuisine, or rather, it kind of exists, but it’s quite primitive and, frankly, tasteless. Probably the worst in Europe. I’ll write more about English cuisine
3. England has the highest obesity rate in Europe
4. The British really drink a lot of tea, a cup of tea is such a ritual in the culture of communication, and a panacea for all ills. It’s a paradox, but good loose tea is rare in large supermarkets; you have to order it in special stores. Everyone drinks packaged.
5. School uniform is mandatory for all schoolchildren. In most state schools it is the same, but private schools adhere to different
6. Public school is actually a private school, and free is a state school. Students refers to all students, both schoolchildren and university students. The word pupil in the meaning of “schoolboy” is practically not used. The word school can also mean university, such as law school or medical school
7. Parents may be subject to criminal liability for schoolchildren's absenteeism.
8. Children go to school from the age of five and compulsory education lasts until the age of 16. To enter university, you still need to study for an additional year or two
9. Corporal punishment in state schools was abolished only in 1987. In private schools - in 1999. In Scotland and Ireland even later.
10. A private elite school is actually a boarding school. A very tough establishment.
11. There is no more rainfall in London than in Moscow, or even less. And fogs are rare here. However, rain can come suddenly, but usually does not last long. Rain for the whole day is quite rare. If the weather forecast predicts rain, then it will always fall from one to two in the afternoon or from 5 to 7 in the evening, exactly at the time when it is lunch break, or when you have to go home from work. The law of meanness works constantly
12. In England it rarely snows in winter. If one centimeter of snow falls, then this is a whole event. Cities are at a standstill, transport is not working, planes are not flying, everyone is running to build shabby snowmen and ride down the slides on inflatable mattresses. Utilities almost don’t keep snow removal equipment, apparently it’s cheaper to suffer multimillion-dollar losses every year than to maintain the equipment....what will they do if the Germans attack
13. The British are seasoned from childhood. It is not customary to wrap children up from head to toe, and it is generally not customary to dress according to the season. The climate is quite mild, but because of the humidity, zero temperatures in winter seem like everything is minus 10 in Russia. In winter, you can see people wearing only T-shirts or ballet shoes on bare feet. Everyone saves on heating, so whether you like it or not, they will be hardened like steel from childhood.
14. The British love animals very much. You will not see stray cats and dogs on the streets. This issue was resolved a long time ago.
15. The Society for the Protection of Animals from Cruelty was created in England back in 1824 and has royal status. What is characteristic is that the society for the protection of children was founded only 60 years later and has national status, which is no longer so prestigious.
16. But at the same time, traditional fox hunting still takes place in England. The British love their traditions more than animals.
17. Although you may encounter stray animals, especially at night, they will be unfortunate foxes. Even in central London you can see them very often. They flash their green eyes and dash into the bushes. Sometimes they jump right out from under the wheels of a bicycle late on a dark evening; such suddenness and convulsions won’t last long. They live in parks, of which there are a huge number throughout London. They often get into houses and can be quite dangerous. At night, foxes make very specific screams, as if they are cutting a baby.
18. Household pests include bedbugs and mice. There are no cockroaches, and there are no mosquitoes either. You can also easily run into a false black widow. This is such a spider that can be dangerous and poisonous if it bites.
19. There are huge numbers of squirrels in the parks; they are all almost tame. The squirrels are all gray and quite plump, I would even say muscular. Once upon a time there were red squirrels, but gray squirrels killed them; now red squirrels are protected by the state. There are swans and many different interesting birds. By the way, all Thames swans are legally the property of the Queen.
20. In parks you can often see benches with nameplates installed in memory of a deceased relative or friend. Sometimes captions are an example of purely English irony, as is the case in the photo. “In memory of the husband whom I dreamed of, but he was never found.”
25. Britain has a huge number of regional accents, dialects and dialects. Accents may differ within the boundaries of one city, and even more so within a county. English in former colonies is sometimes very different from British English, and not just in pronunciation.
26. The British feel a little guilty that almost everyone knows English, and the British themselves are not strong in foreign languages. Therefore, they will always praise a foreigner's English. Many Russian speakers immediately begin to show off, as if the English themselves noticed that I speak almost without an accent. This has little to do with reality. This is simply a polite compliment to a foreigner's ability to string words together into sentences. In fact, I have almost never met Russian speakers who moved as adults and have excellent pronunciation... although no, Berezovsky’s first wife has excellent pronunciation
27. The Scots, Welsh and Irish are very proud of their roots and nationality. Don’t even think about calling an Irishman or a Scotsman an Englishman or even a Briton - they will be terribly offended.
28. In Britain there is no concept of provincialism in the Russian sense of the word. It's not considered cool here to be a native Londoner or a native Edinburgher. Historically, all the nobility lived on estates. In the big cities lived those who had to work; the need to work was always despised by the English nobility. But if you grew up in your own house with a lot of land, then yes, this is class. Certain regions are considered provincial here, for example, the north of England; historically, the Irish are considered rednecks, because the British essentially committed a mass genocide of the Irish, so the elite created a certain snobbish attitude towards them, which is still alive. New Zealanders who have arrived in large numbers are considered provincials
29. Britain has no constitution
30. Big Ben is actually the name of a bell, not a clock.
31. There is no concept of a courtyard here, because in urban development there is no city courtyard in the Russian sense; urban planning is planned differently. There is the concept of estate or neighbourhood, i.e. district.
32. In English cities, everything is very compact, the streets and sidewalks are narrow, the houses and apartments are quite small. For example, there are standard houses with 4 rooms of only 56 square meters. I call these apartments and houses mittens.
33. All land is private. There is no concept of “giving up on barbecue in nature,” because all of nature is divided into private areas, except for protected areas and parks. There are designated camping areas that you have to pay for, and areas for barbecues and picnics.
34. There is no registration in Britain, but without a bank account and card you can do almost nothing here, much less live legally. Residence is determined by bills, which are paid through a bank account. All bills are proof that you have lived here and may be needed for various bureaucratic needs. Therefore, a resident of Britain keeps a lot of waste paper at home from paper utility bills, payslips and the like; I already have two hefty folders.
35. If Moscow never sleeps, then London sleeps and how, I would say, just sleeps. Pubs are open until 11, on weekends until a maximum of 2. There are no traces of 24-hour restaurants, just as there are no 24-hour coffee shops. There are only fast food eateries that are open at night on weekends, the so-called take-away, where people flock to refuel after energy-consuming club parties. There are just mountains of garbage in city centers on weekends.
36. By the way, chips in English are French fries, not chips, but crisps are just chips in bags
37. In broad daylight, in various places in London, you can see people smoking weed, and if you don’t see it, you can acutely feel it. Few people care or care about this. In fact, there are a huge number of quiet weed addicts here.
38. Some people believe that the British are entirely music lovers and certainly don’t listen to any cheap pop music. The percentage of music lovers here is the same as in Russia, and there are a lot of pop lovers here
39. The working class in Russia loves to vacation in Turkey and Egypt, and the working class in England really loves Spain and Eastern Europe. The British "Tagil" has a better holiday there than ours in Egypt.
40. The British constantly say sorry, sorry, thank you, please, even if they are not to blame. An Englishman will apologize if you accidentally step on his foot. Don't delude yourself and think that this is sincere. In fact, an Englishman will say sorry to the table if he accidentally touches it; these words are more of an interjection than a sincere apology.
