Curiosities
We as a whole realize that Extraordinary England is entirely great and has given the world the absolute best entertainers, just as various unbelievable groups that despite everything rock the present reality. However, as much as we love the Brits and their adaptable culture one can't deny the way that they are truly peculiar. No, indeed, they are peculiar and their unusual quality is one more thing that puts them on the map. For instance, did you realize that past English tram could've been loaded up with water for transportation! This is just a glimpse of something larger of Abnormality, I guarantee you. Here are 10 verifications Extraordinary England is the most odd spot on the planet.
Ruler Harry and Sovereign William partook in recording Star Wars: Scene VIII — The Last Jedi. Truly, you read that right! At the point when the recording occurred in London in 2016 the Sovereignty dropped by to take a look at the shooting procedure and played a couple of stormtroopers themselves!
Queen Elizabeth II and Dracula are related. It’s not a joke! Historians believe that Mary of Teck, the Queen’s grandmother, was a distant relative of one of Vlad Dracula’s sons.
The original idea for London’s subway, which is the oldest in the world according to historians, was to fill the pathway with water! Thankfully, the idea was dropped in the end and it was decided to build railways instead of waterways.
Christmas is a bit unusual in Wales. People dress up in white robes and go around town with a horse skull on a stick, collecting treats and singing songs much like they do during certain European Christmas celebrations. But the whole sight is quite creepy!
Buckingham Palace is a beautiful place, but not many people know that it was built on the place of an old brothel. Now the palace features more than 700 rooms with 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. It’s a huge place and we can only imagine what the old brothel looked like back in the day.
Wales is home to a village with the longest name in the world – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It’s not a name that appeared naturally – it was created as an attraction for tourists. Still, it’s quite impressive!
It’s hard to tell why would anyone want this kind of service, yet in the UK you can actually hire people that will cry for a deceased person at a funeral. These professional mourners are actors and their services cost around £45 per hour.
London has more Indian restaurants than the biggest cities in India! All thanks to numerous immigrants that popularized their home cuisine, making it a kind of London’s staple feature. One of the most Indian dishes among Londoners – tikka masala – was actually invented in London, not in India!
Going to the cinema seems like a totally normal thing to do on Sunday, but not when you are in Northern Ireland. There is an actual law that prohibits going to the movies on Sundays! You can get a £50 fine if police catches you.
One of the weirdest things you’ll find when renting an apartment in Great Britain is the pipe system. Yes, that’s right! The Brits have two separate pipes for hot and cold water. This most annoying thing baffles anyone who comes to live there. Maybe back in the old times it made sense to separate water like that, this still happens in the modern apartments as well and is the least comfortable thing in the world.
