It's 15 degrees outside and it's the first time we see the sun since October: it's summer time! Flip flops fly out of British wardrobes, lives move to parks and lidos, disposable barbecues are sold out in Tesco and the population of Britain feeds on strawberries and cream, watching tennis. In this sunny episode, we also reminisce about summers in Poland and lose ourselves in seasonal food nostalgia so you can get a taste of the Polish summer (pun intended - no excuse).

It's tea time at YLF! We see the UK as an extremely open-minded country but some things are sacred and untouchable here - and tea definitely tops that list. There are some strict rules when it comes to tea drinking and they are quite different from how we were raised to have our brew. We also look into the British coffee cups: what's in them, how the Brits have their coffee and whether it has the same status as tea. So take a seat and let's a have a cuppa together... with no milk.

Until we settled in Britain, we thought that roads and driving is more or less the same all across Europe. We could not be more wrong. And, no, it's not just about driving on the other side of the road. In this episode we navigate our way through the many novelties of British roads; magic roundabouts, meeting points and general lack of space for anything or anyone. Buckle up, it will be a fun ride.

If you're a native English speaker, you might not realise just how baffling the British politeness can be to us foreigners. We've been trying to guess the best response to "You ok?" for years. Or how many times we should say "please" in a sentence. We're still not sure. It can get stressful. In this episode, we laugh at our inability to decipher the common pleasantries of English culture and expose some serious faux pas that Polish directness has lead us to.

One of the most charming and confusing things about the English language are accents. Especially if, like us, you come from a country with exceptional language consistency! In this episode, we dissect accents in all directions possible: we discuss British pronunciation quirks, foreigners' (and our own) accents and explore whether the way we talk defines us. We get really honest about how much trouble and embarrassment accents have caused us and ponder why Poland is almost completely monotone...

"Why did you move to the UK?" we've been asked countless of times. In this first episode, we tell our own immigrant stories. We reveal why we decided to leave our home country and what attracted us to the UK. We talk about the surprises, the struggles, the tears and excitement. Did we feel foreign? Did we miss home? Did we hang out only with other Polish immigrants? Join us in this conversation where we find out a lot about each other and give you a glimpse of who Your Local Foreigners are.
