Little bit weird - as a brit myself a lot of us don’t really care unless we’re gonna get a bank holiday out of it - but there’s no need to be ashamed about being sad about it.
Was the queen important to you in some way? Or does death in general just upset you?
Nah, she wasn't important at all, it's just that I've always seen her as the face of Britain, literally the first person I think of when I think of the country.
I get that. When a lot of non brits think of britian they think of stuff like the red phone boxes, elizabeth tower and the royal family. I’d definitely rather they associate us with than instead of our politicians and knife crime lol. I don’t think charles will ever reach the same level of ‘icon status’ as liz did though.
Whenever I think of Britain, the first thing that comes to mind are cucumber sandwiches. I don't know why learning about the existence of those struck me as so odd
Are cucumber sandwiches only a british thing? It makes sense but I never thought about it before today lol. I’ve only ever met one person who eats cucumber sandwiches though, most people who include cucumber have cucumber and ham.
I've only ever heard of cucumber sandwiches in the context of British culture, but there are probably other places where people eat them. And I know what you mean about never having thought of it before. There's a weird insistence from neighboring states that my region is obsessed with green Jell-o. I've eaten it maybe 3 times in my entire life and have literally never seen it served at potlucks or parties. When I tell people this, they think I'm the one who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I mean, I only have 20+ years living in this area, but please, by all means tell me what it's like to live here
IIN To be sad over the fact that the queen died?

British politics is absolute cringe, not gonna lie. The conservatives there don't seem like " real " conservatives to me anymore.

I'm Swedish, cucumber sandwiches are certainly a thing here too, usually combined with cheese, and on knäckebröd.
