You know you're British when...

[Genericjim101]

You know you're British when you start using the word "glass" as a verb.

Yup! Yarmouth fo sho.

You know you're British when you GET FREE HEALTHCARE
You know you're British when you have your friends, and your pub crew friends. (I'm 16 so this isn't entirely true yet, however I do have a few pub friends and I know my family certainly have friends and pub friends. )
You know you're British when EVERYTHING can be done with tea.
You know you're British when you've complained about the weather every month of the year.
You know you're British when (true story, saw it on the news) everyone is trying to get a holiday to Libya because 'it's cheap right now.'
You know you're British when at least 2 female teenage acquaintances are pregnant.
You know you're British when you've been drunk in a park multiple times (a young British tradition, classy aren't we.)
You know you're British when every city has one, infamous, knifing and violence road.
You know you're British when you're taking the piss out of the French ;D KIDDING GUYS

LLanidloes has all this and it's only a little village in Mid Wales... Granted every year there's a fancy dress event that has thousands of people coming to town from all over the country to get drunk when most of this happens.

I can believe that, Britian is Britain whether small village or major city.

Amazing for my friend to witness when all this happened the past weekend when he's visiting from America though X D

Even better than before:

When your food is horrible.
When you can sing Hatafutte Parade England by heart
When you hate all the French but Daft Punk
When you see Europe as some sort of cancerous growth near your country
When you consider your country as not being a part of Europe
When foreigners think your women are highly stuck up
When you mainstream tea.

 

[Sigmar ov The Hammer]

You know you're British when American grammar annoys you beyond repair.

 

[Jazoni89]

When you use 'could of' or any variation thereof.

Or being extremely xenophobic.

If we were xenophobic we wouldnt have loads of foreigners and a government to spineless to talk about immigraton.



You know your British when you have an instense hatered for the name Thatcher.

Yes, you are correct there.

It even makes it even more surprising that American's worship the damn woman, when us brits hate every single fibre of her being. Hell, she even stole the kiddies school milk to save some public spending. If that isn't a sign of a cold hearted ***** then i don't know what is (which got her the nickname Margaret thatcher, the milk snatcher).

I'm just glad that I wasn't in my twenties in the 80s, then I would of known about it, with all the taxes, and all the other shit that thatcher threw on young British people.

They like her ?

I find that funny. The recession is becuase of the bank, the banks are run by guys only interested in lining thier pockets. Thatcher had the bright idea to privitse them. This shit economy is her fault.

Anyone who worships her is clearly insane, or a banker.

Its funny people havent learned, now Cameron is fucking shit up. Allthough we were in a tough situaion, labour incompitence and the lib dems are spineless sellouts. Either way we we are fucked.

Yes, they are even making a movie about her life.

No, I'm not shitting you!

With Meryl Streep as Maggie Thatcher.

...Please kill me now.

Jesus Christ America, really.

Then again didt they have some bulshit hollywood movie of William and Kate ?


You know your British when you play as a bad guy in films. (Its ther Brits or Russians)

Imagine trying to market that movie in England.

O...ho, ho, ho, they are going to have more than a few problems.

It would probably gross like five pounds or something in the box office, and it would get 1% on rotten tomatoes.

When this becomes a reality.

OH MY FUCKING GOD ...... dude .. no joke, that's my desktop wallpaper LOL

and yeah .. what he said .. also

When you're convinced that people can't spell and contantly remind yourself that there's more than 1 english (but we all know that there's only 1 REAL English XD)

When you only add capitals in fron of "England" or "Great Britain" but scotland, whales, america, russia, china, ect.. don't get one

When you think half-pints or quarter-pints are just wrong .... just ... so wrong

When you can't go 1 day without being sarcastic

Aaaand my personal favorite ... When you run out on a hot day to try to get as MUCH sun as possible on those rare sunny days .... and still complain about the weather (now it's too hot LOL)

 

[Xanadu84]

I'm not British, so this bit of opinion is pure heresay. Take this as you will, and I concede to an actual Brit disagreeing with me...however, I imagine that a British person, and only a British person, would ever think that Cockney rhyming slang makes a single lick of sense.

Also to be clear, there is sure to be a "Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles" situation here. All people who think Cockney rhyming slang makes a lick of sense are British, there is no one outside of the country who would ever call it sensible, making it a sure fire indication of being a Brit, but plenty of Brits don't think it makes a lick of sense. It can prove that you are British, but it can't prove that your not. That fair to say?

 

[The Funslinger]

....when you arrive back from holiday and within 3 hours of returning home you have some nob in a hoodie spit at you in the street for no reason.

Yes, and you know you're yorkshire when you walk away, leaving said hoodie wearing prick on the ground, twitching in the middle of the road.

OT:

You know you're British when you're a FUCKING MANIAC ON THE ROAD. Seriously. I just got back from vacation in London this morning, you people are insane. It's amazing there aren't a dozen crashes at every roundabout every ten seconds.

What can I say? It's a way of life.

You know you're English when a cricket bat is your improvised weapon of choice.

Seriously, you know they make aluminium (you're also English when you say "aluminium", not "aluminum") baseball bats? They tried to do the same with cricket bats, but stopped because they destroyed the cricket balls. Have you seen a cricket ball? It's a weighty sphere of hard leather. Don't fuck with a guy holding a cricket bat.

Cockney rhyming slang is easy.

Apples, and pears - Stairs

Dog, and bone - Phone

Pork pies - Lies

Skin, and blister - Sister

Tommy Tank - Wank

You just have to find two things related and rhyme it with another word. It was used in London as a sort of inside language, that most people wouldn't get. I would love to confuse an American with it though, that would be quite the laugh.

 

[Android2137]

... you are from england

Well played, good sir. Well played.

OT: ...When you talk like Yahtzee?

I love you! XD

But seriously, come to Yorkshire, where the half pint glass doesn't exist!

 

[LightspeedJack]

When "butters" does not exclusivley refer to a character on South Park.

 

[MetaKnight19]

When you pronounce the word aluminium as 'al-u-min-ium' and not the American pronunciation 'alu-minum'

Well, no shit Sherlock...I kid, I kid.

Yeah, but i don't see how it's confusing if you know about it, that is.

Unless you don't have a mental capacity to rhyme words, then yeah.

 

[Zipa]

You know you are British when you roll your eyes every time you encounter a British person playing the typical villain in films and computer games.
