What it is to be British

Quiet on here the last couple of days. I found this on another forum and thought it might add a bit of lightheartedness to a gloomy Tuesday morning.

WHAT IT IS TO BE BRITISH
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. The most British thing of all?

The suspicion of anything foreign!!!!!!!!!

How true!

Of course we also drive on the wrong side of the road but we are far from unique in that.

Egypt of course is international - they drive on BOTH sides of the road!

I liked this response from a forum member in Texas:
I love this quote from King Edward VIII: "What impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children."
I've always admired the British--their precision with language, their stoicism, and their dry sense of humor.
Whatever it is to be British, it's working!
