It's a unique, secretly-guarded recipe of sarcasm mixed with 43,000 complaints and a stiff upper-lip. It can't be taught :no:

Basically, you need to incorporate the word "banter" into your daily life.

These sum it up quite well. The British love sarcasm mixed with complaints and can often insult each other in a joking manner but that's just us brit .

I've never really understood how British humour is different to the RoW? But then again, I only go on holiday for holidays and then don't really interact much with locals

Just jokingly insult your friends, just enough to make them grin extensively and chuckle enjoyably but not too far that they start cracking their knuckles and begin their glare game....if you feel a sudden fist contact on your nose and/or you get knocked out, you went to far :colonhash:

. Its trial and error for the early days :biggrin:
