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

Had to put this one in freestyle england :p

It's funny because it's true.

Oh and you forgot morris dancing. It's the one english thing we have left. but that wouldn't have fitted in with the joke.

You are not a brit, you are from Naaaarch!

But wasn't Pop Larkin from Kent? Not that I disagree with Norfok being a strange place, but then again I live on the Notts Lincs border so how the hell can I comment me ducks

I grew up in Darling Buds of May country. It is still in Britain. Naaaarch (and Pimlico) are quite clearly not!

Newark/Grantham way are you?

To be fair, Naarch is now a suburb of either Lisbon or Warsaw depending on which area you're in.

I live on the Notts Lincs border

Ooh, the badlands. It always pays to carry a loaded banjo through Lincs.

a loaded banjo?

the best sort. If it's the area I'm thinking of, it's as flat as Norfolk. There are 2 things that flat places are notorious for :

Country and Western Music
Serial Killers.

Hence the loaded banjo, it covers both bases.

Yep, and although Grantham and Newark have a load of 'want to live in the country and work in London' people (train is only 1hr away from KingsX), you only have to drive 5miles to get in loaded Banjo country, where people look at you strangley through boz eyes and scratch their heads with their 6th finger.

Serial Killers - Beverley Allott and Michael Sams...there is some eveidence to back up the theory!
