Being British
 

Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer.
Then on your way home grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab to sit on a Swedish sofa and watch
USA shows on a Japanese TV, and most of all being suspicious of anything foreign.
Oh and only in Britain can you get a pizza to your home faster than a ambulance.
Only in Britain do banks leave there doors wide open but chain pens down to the counter.
Also supermarkets make sick people go to the back of the store for prescriptions whilst healthy people
get there fags at the front of the store.
We might be British, but by harm we're a funny lot.

manc1, I was born in UK and lived there until age 23 when came to US in 1984.. I have seen a little of the world and BUT that little island of ours is amazing. Sometimes when I watch telly over here I will say to my brother things like think of all brill music that came from that one wee island - Beatles for example. No matter where I go in the world, what great sites I see or wonders I behold I am so glad was born in the UK. Also I am sorry but you will never convince me otherwise nobody is funnier as well than the British. I don't like at England thru rose tinted glasses and know it has changed but it's still home..

Re: Being British
 

Being British is about moving to foreign climes then wishing you were home.
Being British is about worrying - house prices, inflation, weather.
Being British is about humour, banter, tolerance, and the 'chin up', view of the world.
Being British is brill!

Re: Being British
 

Being British is very complex indeed these days, but I think that makes life in the UK all the more interesting.
I lived in Oz for nine years and Australia lacked character (so did many Aussies-whoops)

I love this little Island of ours, maybe sometimes you have to leave it behind for a few years to really appreciate it, now I'm back, I find it really odd listening to people complain, now I just hold my head high and think to myself, I'm a very lucky chap to be English/British."I don't Care what the weatherman says":):thumbsup:

This guy has a pretty unique and funny idea of what being British means:

dunroving i have never heard of him but he is bloody funny. i will have to watch more of his stuff. thanks for posting..uniquely british comedy..

Re: Being British
 

He comes over as a right yob, but in fact he is highly intelligent (Oxford-educated, maybe?) and when interviewed in his true guise on serious topics, he is pretty insightful and thoughtful.

Re: Being British
 

He is well educated. His whole yob charactor is all part of the act. He's brilliant and never steps over the mark imo. I love the audience participation, they are up for a laugh! Good old Brit sense of humour, you won't find that anywhere else in the world.

Except perhaps in a foreign bar full of Brit people anywhere they care to gather together :thumbup:
