Fat people,

IMO this is just a direct policy from the current Government to clear away from children and adults to see that they are English, Scottish of Born in Wales. Please remember that it was the Socttich and those MP's in Wales which have given this Government a 3rd term in power.

To be British, all you need is a good queue.

To be British means we own some of the best twisties in the World.

Comedy... (Black Adder, Monty Python, Father Ted, Only Fools & Horses, QI, Green Wing, Nevermind the Buzzcocks etc, etc)
Beautiful old architecture (in between the ugly stuff...)
Tea drinking
Lager drinking
Traffic signs
Beautiful green green countryside
Pubs closing at 11pm
Complaining... quietly to your friend so as not to make a scene

...and definitely queues!

Some of us more than others have many reasons to be proud....this small rock is responsible for some of the worlds finest inventions.

Nobody on here hasn't used a pneumatic tyre on tarmac....(unless they have led a very sheltered life?).

Ever watched a television? "British" invention that it is?

I'm a proud Scotsman first and foremost but part of the United Kingdom.

Some things to be proud of

I'm proud to be English but I'm not especially pround of what my country has become.

I never understand why people come to the UK from lovely warm countries with great food, roads and culture. What is the appeal of our crowded, rainy little island ? I just don't get it !

I'd be off to the continent at the drop of a hat if it wasn't for my personal situation, namely 3 young kids (from my ex-marriage) who I need to see regularly.

[andyblade]

im a true brit, you can tell this by the way i allways advertise the fact i hate the bloody government and therefore generaly dislike the country, and wish i was somewhere else
be a true brit, say what ya hate '>

[Alba]

you know what John, now that i think about it what the f**k am i doing in here???

...only kidding, God save the Queen

What it means to be British?

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then traveling 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.

In my case, I teach the Korean national sport for my profession, an am well versed in Japanese karate, Philipino knife & stick fighting and have a couple of Chinese friends too.  Yes Strummin Ronin, that's you & Kit.

As Mikey and Anna said. Britain is the only country in the world where you can be a refugee one minute, and a cleaner or a prossie the next. Who needs the American Dream, PAH.
It's also the only place I can think of that you can get away with spouting all that crap Abu Hamza was doing and get away with it for so long!!! We're too polite to say anything!!!

Liberal, easy going, polite. That's us.
