Default Understanding the British

An email doing the rounds at work

For all you struggling to fully understand the customers and players this side of the pond, 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 ".



So now you know

Ah, anyone can get a British passport these days, "British" means nothing.

Being English however, now that's important
