Not really.

The second biggest native language in the isles is Welsh, with about half a million speakers (19% of Welsh population). The signs only had English on them up until recently.

The official language of Scotland is English, with very few people speaking Gaelic or other Native languages.

Northern Ireland speaks English. The second most spoken language in Northern Ireland is Mandarin Chinese. Many people in Northern Ireland are fiercely pro-Crown.

Ireland is a separate country and not part of the United Kingdom, but they still speak English for the most part.

Almost all United Kingdom residents use English as their mother tongue, at best you will find people who are bilingual but use English more in daily life, the one exception being small rural Welsh pockets of natives, but even then they will speak English perfectly.

Finns traditionally give knives (so-called "puukko") as gifts, but after a while you end up with so many of them that you don't know what to do with them anymore.

It's also highly offensive to sell them, so you're pretty much stuck with them.

Spain was accidentally nuked by the USA in January 1966, but thankfully the bombs did not explode. Later, the Spanish and American authorities (i.e. the Spanish foreign minister and the American ambassador) celebrated this by bathing together at the beach where the nukes fell.

In our parliament you aren't allowed to reference eachother by name.

You have to say "The honourable member from Somerset North" for example.
You'e also not allowed to talk to eachother directly when speaking. You have to say "Mr Speaker, The Prime Minister is wrong on this" or "Mr Speaker, the honourable member from Somerset North is simply stating falsehoods". They can be looking directly at them maintaining eye contact but they can't say their name and they can't talk directly to them, only to the speaker.
