Your cheeky guide to surviving – and loving – life in the UK.
Whether you’ve just arrived in the UK or you’ve been here long enough to develop an opinion on bin day, this is your one-stop shop for decoding Britishness with humour, warmth, and a side of sarcasm.
So, What Is This Place?
We’re not the BBC, and thank goodness for that.
Ready Steady Brit is for:
- Tourists wondering why everyone’s queuing
- Newcomers trying to understand what “cheers” actually means
- Students confused by council tax
- Locals who find Brits just as baffling as everyone else
Think of us as your slightly eccentric British friend who’ll teach you the difference between a bap, a cob, and a roll — without judging your accent.
