We all have family in jokes that only you and your family will understand but today we're looking at sayings and terms that maybe you only say within your family!

Candy, or as it's known in the UK 'Chocolate and Sweets', has a lot of dubious history around the world but perhaps nowhere more than the UK.

If the title of this episode didn't have you finishing with "...walk into a bar" then we can't be friends. Joking I am. Of course we can be friends.

Are …

Living in Texas, there's two things you should have heard of; Chip and Joanna Gaines and Braum's. Probably David Koresh too? But what does that have to do with British import prices, I hear you cry! Well, it doesn't. Next month, we'll talk more about Braums and less about David Koresh. Maybe Dominic will finally make that $11? Anyway, have you ever…

Since Sticky Toffee Pudding was invented, presumably sometime in the 1970s, the UK has been in love and you'd be hard pressed to find a restaurant in the entire UK that doesn't have it on its menu and it's no wonder!

This week, we're discussing that age old stereotype that won't seem to go away: Blandness in British food. Well, it's much better than baldness in British food. Us Brits like our food hairy thank you very much! But really, how bland is British food? Did we really conquer lands just to sell the spices?? Do you find British food bland?…
In this week's episode, we take a depressing look at shows on Britbox.
