How do they celebrate birthdays in great Britain?

Answer 1

Children are given either a Mule or a weasel up until their 13th birthday. They are kept for six months (until the Childs half-birthday) then weighed, if the animal has gained an even amount of ounces for weasels, or kilos for mules, the child will receive a special treat, usually in the form of a hat or an exotic fruit i.e mandarin or prune. Therefore half-birthdays are actually the main celebration for children. Adults celebrate their birthdays by giving their three closest companions or family members three gifts each costing three pounds per gift and usually exchanged, when possible, at 3pm. However these traditions are slowly becoming unpopular and often the children will mark their birthdays and half birthdays with a simple fruit salad. The adults mark their birthdays by asking an unlikely love interest on a date, such as their bank manager or a friends brother or sister.
