    What It Means To Be British :D:p


    One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers

    "what it means to be British?". Some of the emails are hilarious but

    this is one from a chap in Switzerland ...



    Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for

    A Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a

    Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch

    American shows on a Japanese TV.



    And the most British thing of all?

    Suspicion of anything foreign.

    As the great ol tommy tiernan said
    "the british have a habit of invading and taking over other lands...then they get awfully upset when the people there follow them home"
