British drink between 80 to 100 million cups of tea per day It takes about 3 to 5 years to become a London Cap driver.

The reason the UK doesn't accept US eggs is because eggs are laid with a natural barrier against pathogens on the shell. Washing eggs removes that natural barrier and makes them susceptible to contracting diseases and pathogens through cross-contamination. That way, any contaminated eggs can be traced to the source of contamination, without having to worry about all the possible other sources during transport, storage or at point of sale. It makes dealing with problem eggs much easier.

In the UK, High School is called 'Secondary School' and typically goes to the 6th Form (12th grade) with 'college' being the equivalent of the final two years of 'high school' (years 12 & 13) _or_ vocational/trade training between 16-18 years old. After that, students can go to University where they study Bachelors degrees of 3-4 years, or go on to Masters, Doctorates etc or directly into trade/para-professional work. In Australia, there is primary school (prep to grade 6), high school (year 7 to year 12), or TAFE (available to anyone 16 or over, where you can get a trade or vocational certificate/diploma equivalent to an American 2-year college degree.... but called a Diploma) then university (3+year bachelor degrees) or work. So, to sum up a very confusing set of systems: An American High School Diploma is equivalent to British A levels or the Australian Certificate of Education. A 2-year American College Degree is roughly equivalent to a Further Education Higher Diploma in the UK, or an Australian TAFE Diploma or Advanced Diploma. An American College/University 3-4 year Degree is equivalent to a bachelors degree in the UK and Australia. So..... An American 'Diploma' is only a certificate in the UK and Aus. An American 2-year 'Degree' is only a Diploma in the UK and Aus, but a bachelor's Degree and above are roughly similar across the three countries...... except that in Australia and the UK, students are graded against the national curriculum standard, while Yanks are graded against a class bell-curve..... meaning even an idiot can get their High School Diploma or degree, so long as nearly half the people in the class are stupider than them.
