Summary: The video is about 9 weird things British people do that they think are normal.

  • The first thing is that they buy a lot of caterpillar cakes, especially around Christmas time.
  • The second thing is that they eat some of the most creative sandwiches, such as chip butties and pot noodle sandwiches.
  • The third thing is that they call strangers pet names, such as love and sweetheart.
  • The fourth thing is that they do Morris dancing.
  • The fifth thing is that they take their shirts off as soon as the sun comes out.
  • The sixth thing is that they slap their knees when they are ready to leave.
  • The seventh thing is that they can be very polite to people they hate and very rude to people they love.
  • The eighth thing is that they bring in treats to work on their birthday.
  • The ninth thing is that they say goodbye a lot of times.

What's this xmas caterpillar cake?

I'm British and I don't even get it. I do know that a few years back, a bunch of supermarkets were trying to sue each other over caterpillar cakes.

Those are for kids birthday partys.
