Are British people real?

Brits are known for their affinity for tea time, love of invading countries & dentophobia… but do they even exist?

I know, it’s shocking to think about. You might be thinking, “Well of course British people are real Mamas! I saw Queen Elizabeth II on the Snapchat Daily Mail the other day!” Oh is that so? So you’ve never actually met her? Hmm yeah that’s what I thought.

In my research I’ve reached out to a couple of people who claim to be British, but alas, the British are not coming this time. I managed to get an interview from a self-proclaimed British person named Barton Upton Snodsbury. “I’m Bri’ish,” said Snodsbury.

My second interviewee who wishes to remain anonymous, due to fear of the royal family kidnapping them, gave me the insider scoop.

“Yes, the accent is fake,” said anonymous British. “After a long day of pretending to have a British accent I am exhausted. I was never quite sure as to why we had to keep up this appearance but I’m in too deep now. I’m actually Belgian. I’ve never even met a British person.”

Well there you have it folks. Next time you meet a British person, no you didn’t.
