I was talking to some people the other day who are escorting some girls from some ridic private girls to their prom and they were mentioning how some of the girls were spending about £5000 on their prom dresses.

I don't think I've spent £5000 on dresses in my entire life

My prom dress was a dress I already owned because at that age going dress shopping was about as fun as digging out my own eyeballs

The girls who turned up in the massive ballgowns looked, imo, ridiculous. What a waste of ****ing money

As a standard we do not have prom in Estonia. Some people went to some kind of prom, but this is not part of official graduation. My shirt cost more than my suit when I graduated :P

Totally standard to add 100% to the bill of anything the minute anyone hears the word wedding.

The only thing I've encountered that's comparable is buying a house. Everyone knows you're spending 6 figures, so they can charge you £100 for indemnity fee for searches to permit waiver discount fee processing and you're just w/ever, add it to the bill.

My wife's wedding dress was for, reasons unfathomable to the laws of nature, brown. I'm not quote sure the symbolism of that. Or rather, I'm not willing to think about it.

I hate such thing.

One of the girls who lived in same apartment in Portugal took some silly picture of me when I was drunk. Then I helped her with luggage when we came back and she promised to delete these pics as a counterfavor, but in Estonia she is joking around about these pics and saying that she deleted, but before that she put them to USB tho she promised to instadelete these. Really ****ing annoying. Well there were also some other stuff.

Pretty sure cross dressing gets into the Top five British things, along with jokes about the Germans, hating the French, invading,err, everywhere, a haughty attitude of superiority, and a slow sense of decline powered by dreadful coffee.

Yeah, it is fair with siblings and whenever I get a chance I try to mess with my brother.

He must have been really drunk and/or stupid to wear dress in front of you.

My brother still brings up stuff I did as a 5yo.

Actually that probably should be 'British things we really should have shot of by now but possibly haven't'

Oh, also 'claiming British things are the best in the world in the face of a wealth of evidence to the contrary if we did but pay any attention to the rest of the world which we don't so that's cool' belongs on the list, I think. It's a congested top 5.
