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...

How many Wales fill England?
It is Scone as in stone and fresh cream and strawberry jam of course.
And you are not truly British without having a full English breakfast including Black Pudding.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales I think England is about 5 1/2 Waleses isn't it? Or something like 14.5million rugby pitches.
@littlemissdani and i’ve noticed this thread is four years old but being SW it just popped up!😀
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Its been maturing until ready for public consumption
