Being British

[selby]

  Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, on the way home grab a Turkish Kebab or a take away Chinese meal, get home sit on a Swedish sofa and watch a USA made film on a Chinese or Japanese TV, and carry on being suspicious of anything foreign.
  We can get a pizza delivered quicker than getting an ambulance to come, Banks leave both front doors open but chain pens to the counter, supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the store to get medication prescriptions, while sick people can buy cigarettes at the front.
 We might be British, but we are bloody funny.

for the avoidance of doubt i am not having a go at you Selby but when i googled

"Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, on the way home grab a Turkish Kebab o" 

i found this was doing the student rounds eleven years ago  it seems to have evolved over the years  ( in my day in the university toilets it used to say above the toilet roll -- "Sociology degrees please take one")

  CLH just found it funny, never read a wall in the bogs at a university,  thanks for the interest, I bow to your past education, funny you remember the things on a bog wall though, is that where they do the lectures? or was it just where you played hooky with your mates?

Shouldn't this be on the brexit thread?

  Be proud to be British Syd, although with you down in Australia I can see why they breed 90 mph bowlers to hurl the bloody cricket ball at us so fast.

It just made me wonder with your OP why all the fuss is all selby

I'm wondering why you felt the need to interject, all the activities mentioned in the OP were reality well before Brexit was even a Sh*tstain in Cameron's under crackers.

I guess some people just have to be seen to be contrarian.

I drive a British built car (though American owned company), don't frequent Irish pubs or drink Belgian beer, would always choose fish and chips over other take away options, have a British made sofa, very rarely watch US (or any) films but do have a Japanese TV.

So I'm only scoring 1 out of 7 on meeting these being British definitions. Am I unusual here?

It's just a bit of nonsense, I thought you would have recognised that
