one that no one's mentioned it that

6:25

we're quite big curry eaters really.

6:28

Would you be able to describe what a

6:29

roast dinner is? Yeah. Uh either like

6:32

roast meat like chicken or turkey or

6:34

beef or lamb with uh roast potatoes and

6:36

lots of veg like carrots and Brussels

6:39

sprouts. And how does a roast dinner fit

6:41

into our lives sort of culturally? It's

6:43

kind of a cultural event almost. Uh most

6:46

people have it on a Sunday um every

6:48

Sunday and at Christmas. Do you know any

6:50

stereotypes about the English?

6:53

They always talk about the weather.

6:55

That's probably one of the No one's

6:56

mentioned that yet. I forgot all about

6:58

that. And you think that's true or

7:00

false? Oh, definitely. Yeah, we're

7:01

always talking. Yeah. If it's rainy,

7:03

it's like, oh, moaning. If it's hot,

7:05

moaning as well, probably if it's too

7:07

hot. And who do you speak to the weather

7:09

about? Oh, anyone. That's usually the

7:11

first easy small talk. Oh, pub quizzes.

7:14

They're so popular. Every pub we've been

7:16

into has a pub quiz or a pub quiz going

7:18

on. Can you like go into what a pub quiz

7:21

is? So, I think it's basically you go

7:24

into a pub or I guess you sign up

7:26

previously and then they give you trivia

7:28

questions and you have to answer them

7:30

and if you get them right, I think you

7:32

win something at the end. All English

7:33

people are polite.

7:37

Um, would you like to say so? Yeah,

7:40

sometimes.
