That happened to me in England. I asked for ice in my coke, and the waitress threw in one sorry ice cube. Their refrigerators are less than half the size of ours, so they keep most soft drinks in the cabinets. Americans are used to our drinks ice cold out of the fridge. It's just a culture thing.

I guess its what they are used to.
Chilling drinks means you don't taste the flavours as much. I think the british are more used to cool (i.e. kept in a cellar) rather then cold drinks. Like all of us, they notice the bad things about a change more then the good, so if you put ice in a drink, they notice the lack of flavour more than the pleasant coolness.
Just a guess.

1) It's cold enough in the U.K without ice.
2) Our drinks are watered down enough as it is
3) The British do add ice to their drinks it is just a rumour that we don't like the stereotype that all Americans are fat it isn't true it's a stereotype

Yes we do. Although it does depend on the drink - but soft drinks, cocktails, spirits with mixers etc. are generally served with ice here in the UK (except for post-mix soft drinks in some pubs, I guess).
Oh, and as for beer - again it's a fallacy that we drink all our beer warm. Although bitters and stouts are supposed to be drunk at room temperature, lagers which are supposed to be drunk cold are served cold here, particularly bottled lager which everyone drinks as cold as possible.

relatively tea is decrease than the effect of alcohol interior the Asian subcontinent with milk and sugar, in spite of the undeniable fact that it relatively is all boiled mutually. meaning you get a 'epidermis' on the precise as you do on espresso made with boiled milk. The Brits took the belief yet extra the milk and sugar afterwards because it replaced into extra to their style. it relatively is in basic terms how we've consistently decrease than the effect of alcohol our chai, tzai, or cuppa cha!

I hate ice in drinks myself, so they might just all be like me in that respect.

They don't chill their beer either. They don't like their drinks as cold as Americans do. And they like their tea hotter.

they'll say ice melts and dilutes the drink-but real reason is they are Eurotrash
