They only give the choice of Britain, or London, so...

You Know You're From Britain When...

You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable. Personally, I'm tee-total, but this is true You're always a half an hour late to work ... no-one notices or cares. Fuck no - if I'm not in five minutes before my shift starts I could get in trouble. Damn call centres.. Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week. From my colleagues it's expected, yeah, but not accepted You can actually give directions to some of those annoying tourists in Oxford Street! Not a Londoner, so no You step over a drunk in the tube station rather than offering to help them. Ummm...transpose that to doorways in the town centre, then I guess so... You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast. Kinda true - though you do need to check it isn't raining You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub. No way! *shudders* You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes. Yeah - would be nice *glares at ex-hubby* You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!). No - Aussie soaps are ten a penny over here, and the actors come here to do Panto. We're used to it You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable. ...You're joking, right? You can't remember what 'customer service' means. *Has been working in Customer Service her entire working life, and hates every second of it* After a big night out you find yourself looking for a Curry house *laughs* That's a common thing, yeah More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive. A miracle more like You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser *blinks* What? This isn't a tipping culture. And my hairdresser gives me discount, 'cause she's a longtime family friend. You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'. *shifts* Yeah... ;-) You only just realise you have lost your sunnies, you left them in Greece 2 summers ago. Ugh, sunglasses....hate the things You like English cuisine. I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast. Only if you want heart failure You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year Umbrella, yes, coat...I have several that I interchange You've bought a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco. Nope - not been good enough weather this year A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head. Depends on which of the local beaches you go to, as we have both sand and pebble beaches. Ixnay on the warm clothes, but also on swimming...*shudder* You always call soccer football and you have a team and it's not Manchester United. Liverpool! You don't think twice about buying a packaged sandwich. Ugh...only if it's made that day in the canteen at work. Otherwise it's a salad from Boots the Chemists. A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear *dies laughing* WTFBBQ? You've accepted queuing as a way of life. *nods resignedly* You believe that every American is a fatass addicted to hamburgers and hotdogs. No way! The Americans I've met personally are nothing like that You despise the French (but then, who doesn't?). Hmmm....since I also hate the 'English' (but not individual people)...kinda hard to respond to that one You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Britan. *looks at how much she's denied* ...I guess you have to be English - or willing to go out on the piss - to get these...
