Do British people still wear tweed?

I think you should find a good solid UK off-topic forum and repeatedly post these questions in there over a year or so feigning to be a total idiot. I'm sure you'll be loved.

Drink tea and eat crumpets?

I've just bought a tweed jacket and I had tea not 10 minutes ago. Crumpets I do eat but not that often.

Similar to this (with elbow patches obviously)

Don't hesitate to point out all the minor differences in spelling, measuring units and word usage between the two countries.

People love discussing that stuff in depth.

The most important part is the ability to feign total ignorance on a subject that can clearly be figured out via google in about 3 seconds.

Would it be inappropriate if I wore tweed and smoked a pipe when I go to london next week?

Don't forget to hyprocritically and loudly disapprove of their gun laws to everyone you meet. That chav on the bus will love nothing more than to tell his friends about the two hour one-sided discussion that you had with him.

Actually chav will probably agree with him then try to sell him a dodgy sawn off shotgun.
 
Chavs are great. Middle of the winter in Durham, go out on a Saturday and all the women are wearing skimpy dresses with tube tops in below freezing weather while their male counterparts where wife-beaters out clubbing.

Ah, the good times.
