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...

🤔 what, please, is "scone"?
@Yulianna
Scone. A scone is a baked good, usually made of either wheat or oatmeal with baking powder as a leavening agent, and baked on sheet pans. A scone is often slightly sweetened and occasionally glazed with egg wash. The scone is a basic component of the cream tea.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales What sort of sorcery is this. Cornish Scone on the left and Devonshire on the right. 🤣🤣🤣
@TheSirfurryanimalWales you didn't mention "delicious"
@littlemissdani should have😀

@KiwiBird 🇺🇦❤🇳🇿 what are black bits?
@Yulianna Devon and Cornwall claim them.

@littlemissdani 🇺🇦❤🇬🇧 does Britain have obesity problems?
@Yulianna currants probably. Some scones can be adulterated with fruit or cheese (but cheese ones usually you don't have have cream and jam, or at least I don't)
@Yulianna currants.
I prefer them without currants.Much better.
@Yulianna we do have obesity problems but it's from too much McDonald's not from too many scones. The clotted cream makes sure you can't ever eat too much!

@littlemissdani 🤔 cream cheese and pickle?
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales i am sure you are right...
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@littlemissdani 😯 you cannot buy a McScone? with cream and jam and sliced gherkin?
@Yulianna we must get Macdonalds to do a MacCream tea!

@Yulianna Dried fruits, probably currents or raisins. Not used traditionally I think. I could be wrong.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@KiwiBird no, you're not wrong... raisins and currants are definitely dried fruit.
