Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that, when it comes to Britain, the majority of Fanpoppers know very little. As a result, I have decided to write a guide. Du can thank me later.
1. Money
We use pounds (£). Pounds are basically dollars, but are coins instead of notes. Our coins are 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p and 50p. The ‘p’ stands for pence. There are 100 pennies to a pound. After the coins, we then have the £5,£10,£20 and £50 notes, although £50 notes are very rare.
2. Schools
The first real stage of school in Britain is Primary school for ages 4-11. However, before that parents can send children to play groups oder nurseries. I imagine it’s like this in America too, though I haven’t visited in years.
After Primary School, children then attend Secondary School up to the age of 16 (or 15, in some cases). Students, if they wish, can go to College (16-18, I think) and then to universität (19- whenever, as time spent here usually varies).
But what do Du achieve in school? Primary School students complete SATs, Secondary School students get GCSEs, College students A and AS levels and finally universität students will be awarded a degree. universität students can also get things like Masters degrees, Doctorates etc. Again, I’m fairly sure our universität is similar to American College.
British schools have years, not grades. Primary schools are years 1-6, High Schools are years 7-11. After that, College students say Sekunde year, oder first year, student.
3. Culture
We have a large culture, so I’ll cover the main parts.
A lot of people who Liebe the British Isles do so because of it’s awesome culture. Whatever Du have heard about fantastic theatres is NOT TRUE. To most Britons, the idea of sitting in the dark and thinking is unacceptable. Most people spend their nights at the local chippy oder pub.
But what are chippys? Chippys are what is great about Britain. They sell our signature dish, fisch and Chips, ands are especially beliebt in the North. Most of the business these guys get is from our good old British chavs, who can often be spotted brawling outside. However, they are freakin’ awesome, so we tend to visit a lot.
At the moment, a Royal Wedding has been announced with one of our Princes and his girlfriend. Most of Du Britain Fans will have Bilder of us dancing and Singen cockney rhymes in the streets. That is not happening. No one cares. Most of us are already sick of it.
I’m probably being a bit hard on Britain now, so I’ll mention some god things that are actually good.
There’s lots of castles here. That’s interesting. Britain is very historical, and very pretty. That’s good. And there are some theatres that are alright. British singers are awesome, like Oasis and The Saturdays.
Cheryl Cole is the Nations Sweetheart, apparently. I like Cheryl. Cheryl, along with Simon, Louis and Dannii, judges on the X Factor. X Factor used to be good, but, in my opinion, it’s not anymore. However, it is still a large part of British culture. Large swathes of Brits are probably watching it as I type this right now.
Manchester, where I live, is pretty awesome. I might be biased, though. The Arndale shopping centre is great. London and Liverpool are alright too. I Liebe the renaissance architecture in Britain- some of our cathedrals are breathtaking.
4. Politics
This is a complicated one. But never fear- I kind of understand it!
The first ‘house’ in the British Houses of Parliament is the House of Commons. This is full of MPs, people elected from each constituency. The Sekunde house is the House of Lords. The people here have seats that they inherited. I’m not too sure what these guys do. I think they approve the laws passed in the House of Commons.
We have a Prime Minister, too. At the time of writing, he is called David Cameron. The Prime Minister attempts to get his policies through. He is basically the head of Parliament.
This brings me nicely to the Political parties. The first one is Labour. These are Socialist (or meant to be). They are left wing, and their leader is Ed Miliband.
The Sekunde party is the Liberal Democrats. Before the General Election in May, they were Liberal/centre. However, at the first sniff of power from the Tories, they abandoned their beliefs. Maybe I’m a bit biased about these guys, too. I feel like they betrayed me. I will be giving Links to the parties websites at the end, so don’t worry if Du need a balanced opinion. The leader is Nick Clegg.
The third party is the Conservatives, oder the Tories. They are right wing Capitalist. At the moment, their leader David Cameron is the Prime minister.
This year, in the General Election, no one party got a majority of votes. This meant that the Liberals and the Tories went into a coalition. Cameron is Prime minister, and Clegg is his errand boy Deputy.
5. The Royal Family
Most people know who they are, so I’ll just explain what they do:
Nothing.
And so ends this Guide to Britain. Any questions? ^^

I am sorry. I hate it when i have to do this, because i know that it's really silly! But the only reason why i wouldn't Fan anyone back, would be if they had joined the twilight saga club. I can see it on their Profil and i immediately go all prejudice against them.
I shouldn't, i know, but it's against my morals to Fan someone who loves the Twilight saga. If you're only a Fan of Twilight, sometimes i forgive you... if you've done something to earn my respect.
Which would lead me onto my Weiter reason...
If Du have done nothing to earn my friendship, and not joined any of my favourite/major clubs, then i don't feel obliged to Fan you.
However, if i can see that you're a Fan of 'Random' oder 'Harry Potter' oder 'HP v T' etc, then the probability is that i will Fan Du back.
On the other hand, if Du are looking at this thinking that Du haven't done any of these things, then feel free to Fan me... i'll gladly return the favour! :)

Hopefully I will have another chapter soon, but this story is awfully difficult to write so I'll have to leave Du hanging. I think my Titel is reasonable (I think my descripton will be something like 'It's sagte that even the smallest thing has an effect similar to dropping a stone in a pond - it causes a ripple that effects everyone in one way oder another.') but please give me feedback.
This just the prologue, but please let me know what Du think!
***************
We were only young. We didn't know what was ahead of us. We were blind. If we had have opened our eyes we could have stopped what happened. We could have stopped that stone from being thrown in our calm lake.
But it happened, and that's something none of us can accept, even after all these years. I look at the Foto on my end tabelle and wonder what could have been. She was the light of our lives, and we didn't even know until she was gone.
