I Am British
Trying to compile all the ways my Britishness expresses itself.
Tea.
I honestly don't mind queuing.
I'd only ever swear at my best friends.
I know my national football team (this applies frankly to any of England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland) is never going to win the world /european cup. If we ever qualify, I will forget this until we are knocked out.#
Feeling guilty for winning something.
If you serve me awful food, I'll say it was lovely to avoid a scene.
If I don't know what to talk about, I WILL talk about the weather.
If you mispronounce 'scone', I will judge you.
Things can be measured compared to the height of Nelson's Column or Big Ben, and the length of a London bus or football pitch; large land areas may be compared to multiples of Wales.
Having tea from a flask on the beach in the middle of a gale, huddled against a windbreak or sand dune, because we WILL go to the seaside dammit.
I can only apologise for conforming to stereotype...
