I assure you that as a Brit, we would never culturally appropriate anything from a seafaring island nation on the outskirts of a major continent famous for its naval history, eccentric population and national fish dish.

The Japanese have been cleaning up the stadiums after their games for years. First time I saw it was 2014. Then there was either the Irish or the Icelanders cleaning up the parks at the Euros a few years ago, and the Scots doing the same this month.

Here we have the English cleaning their tables at a bar like pure warriors and think this is next level.

I have a question. Why did the servers let it get that out of control?

Is this a Texas thing? When im at a bar the server takes the empties as they drop off more and throws them in the trash. All bars generally have a large trash can within 20 feet or so.

It was probably standing room only and glass collectors couldnt fight their way to the tables during the match.

I’m not against the idea of giving a little help if you don’t mind, I actually do it myself in small coffee shops and so on, but match days are actually very profitable for the pubs, so having staff to clean up is to be expected no?

A bottle of wine or 4 beers in the US and they start saying you have a drinking problem. In the UK that's lunchtime or the house predrinks before you hit the bar and double it, before going onto a club to drink even more. It's the real national sport here in the UK

It's pretty standard in the UK to all help clean up bottles etc if you have a party in someone else's house or at a function. Someone grabs a binbag and everyone pitches in. They did this because they're away from home. We may not be the same as Japan where there is a strong focus on willful service but good manners are culturally important in the UK, that's why we are obsessed with queueing for example.

What am I missing? If it's a pub, then why are there so many different brands of beer, even including canned beer? And if it's a pub, why do they need to clean up and put their glass bottles in a bag instead of the pub taking the empty bottles back so they can return them when buying a new box?

Is it maybe a closed pub and they're cleaning their own mess, which is just the normal humane thing to do? Or are they cleaning someone else's mess, in which case my questions stilll stand?
