Phoebe Waller-Bridge Explains a Typical British Day | Vanity Fair

you cannot go to Pub without having at least three or four packets of crisps that everyone separates like this in a kind of bid to say these are for everyone and they're just for me hi I'm Phoebe wallerbridge and this is my typical London Day I will always have a Yorkshire Tea in the morning with obviously hot water I don't want to spell it out but we need to get it right then a little bit of oat milk not sure if that's this milk but we're just gonna let it go just in this cup and pretend there's water in it the sake of this charming little video now we can start our day here we have King Charles third modeling Hello magazine this is definitely a royal Edition my gosh this is just catnip for actually yeah so you can just get so lost in Hello magazine down and then we have heat the Oracle of Truth in this in this country it's incredibly moving and this is where I get most of my news again with Charles it's like a big ear and the times too this is a bit more of a serious um serious newspaper although I have opened up on the celebrity watch page oh my God what's going on with the British and then we have the series we have money talk here my number one go-to paper um lots of people shaking hands in it and a very very small print I always think if there's small print you know it's very serious information [Music] commuting where you have many choices in London you have the London bus the big iconic red London bus this is an oyster card um this is very familiar to londoners and you put money on it and then you can just beep seamlessly in and out of the tube this is a Boris bike this is a bike that you can um hire and there's an app and then you can sort of take it out and drive it somewhere else in the city and park it there it's incredibly clever I like the danger of having my own bike that I can lock up and um this is a little free song of whether or not it's going to get stolen all day really adds something to my quintessential London Day [Music] work work blah blah blah and then you'll go out into the city to scavenge some lunch probably gonna be from prepped that used to do a sandwich called just very simply the crayfish sandwich from prep and it breaks my heart that it doesn't exist anymore because to me that was something that was definitely could essentially a London sandwich rip that's gone but um they have got a new cheese Bloomer thing which is almost as good and then you'd probably have a few conversations with people when they don't really say what they mean and everyone's asking things like you're right with the kind of panic look in their eyes um because they can't really see what their real emotions are so the four o'clock cup of tea comes with accessories digestive biscuits hugely important to us Brits I do not agree with the existence of orange chocolate in any way but there is one exception which is the Jaffa Cake and then this is something again we are very proud of they're like biscuits but they're cakes it breaks my heart if anyone out there hasn't tried a Duff cake I really would you can also dunk it but I prefer to take a bite and then have a sluff of tea with this particular biscuit so theater in the evenings is a big part of London life this is a picture of the Soho theater a theater very very very very close to my heart this is where I did my very first reading ever of fleabag before it went to Edinburgh and then came back and did two runs here and actually the Soho theater put on plays every year that have had success in Edinburgh and it's an incredibly cool place and you're going to see loads of new writing and I love it or you go to the West End darling where um you might have yourself a little Martini although I'm not sure they do actually serve on TVs at the West End bars but hey it's nice to have you here right now when you come out it will be raining and you'll be like my bike's now in the rain and I probably shouldn't have a drink because the cycling but then you'll think hey let's go to a pub there's one very popular chain called Weatherspoon the founder of the weatherspoons pubs he called them weatherspoons because that was the name of a horrible teacher he had who told him he'd never go anywhere in life if that's true I'm sorry Mr Weatherspoon another very important aspect of London life is the crisps this is a favorite of mine hula hoops I can't believe they don't have these in America oh my God big ones I've actually not seen the big ones before but they just go on your finger like that you can do a whole hand of hula hoops and then you can just spend the next three or four minutes evening off we're going like that that's the main Drive Hulu scampi fries I can't say one of my favorites but are a hugely popular thing in the UK you cannot go to Pub without having at least three or four packets of crisps that everyone separates like this in the kind of bid to say these are for everyone when they're just for me this is a problem actually having him on my hands I'm just gonna eat them fredos what London kid doesn't know about Alfredo these were sort of packed lunch essential they're delicious they've got kind of like caramel on the inside am I supposed to be opening all these because it's just coming very naturally to me I feel bad caramel on the inside what am I thinking of this is um something I take very seriously which is the gaming world of the Brits games such as Cluedo Monopoly Scrabble they are huge in their British families I don't remember everyone looking quite so sexy as they do here Colonel Mustard was my favorite character and I always liked murdering someone I think it was in the ballroom with a rope or something really lovely game for children if your bike hasn't been stolen you will then put your bike in the back of a black cab having to be very apologetic with the driver who is always very understanding and when you get out the car you'll walk up the steps to your house and you'll see something out of the corner of your eye and if you're really lucky and you're really quiet you'll turn around and you'll see a fox in the dead of night swaggering down a London Street and you're like evening and she'll be like hey when you go into bed and you just wait for more dual squirrel to wake you up in the morning for another London day thanks so much for listening to my London day I hope it entices you to come to London and I'm going to sign off with a word that all us londoners will know oh cheerio [Music]
