Fer instance...
He uses the terms "scouser" and "punter" a lot, to describe people, especially people in an audience (he's a comedian).
Do you need to be British to be one of these? Or do you need a special body part to be one? 
A scouser is someone from Liverpool. Hurdy Gurdy and Prince Damian are scousers. Its the same as anyone from East London is a Cockney. Those from Manchester are called Mancunians or Manks etc.
Punter is a name used, at one time, for people who bet. They took a punt on something. Especially risky ones. Was also known as Mug Punter, someone who bet n lost all the time.
But Punter has widened to mean average Joes or customer, not just in betting circles. And Mug Punter has widened to mean idiot, loser, someone who got scammed or who is ripe for fleecing.

Learning that a member of his audience was a greengrocer from Blackpool, a comedian reacted
"What?! There are people in Black pool who eat fruit? I presumed it was an entirely candyfloss-and-chips-based economy. Who goes to Blackpool to eat vegetables?"
Why is Blackpool thought of this way?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because its a seaside town - where fish n chips, ice cream, candy floss, doughnuts, etc are sold.

"Coffee and cofeehouses took London by storm [in the late 1600's]. By 1700 there were more than two thousand London coffeehouses...
They came to be known as penny universities, because for that price one could purchase a cup of coffee and sit for hours listening to extraordinary conversations or, as a 1657 advertisement put it, 'PUBLICK INTERCOURSE.'"
Excuse me?? Public what???? I thought these were British people we're talking about.

Yeah intercourse has 2 means. Verbal, but more commonly sexual. But you knew that.

What's this about?
What do Scotsmen have that the rest of you DON'T? It seems to make women fantasize about them, make them write WHOLE NOVELS about being swept away by one.
And enough novels that it looks like a freaking genre.
