Things British people can't believe There are many things people can't seem to believe whilst living in the UK, so here's a list of things you will hear many of us say! We can't believe how dark it is when it's only five o'clock, and even though it happens every year we're still in utter shock. We can't believe how cold it is and how fast the winters come; we also can't believe what month it is and how fast the year has gone. We can't believe the shops had Christmas stock before we celebrated Halloween, or the price of olive oil and every item in between. We can't believe it's almost Christmas and how we've nearly reached the end of the year, but more often than not you will hear us question why the hell we're living here!
