Actually, thats Japan.

OT; You know you are British when...you have a barbecque at 10 degrees outside.
We dont talk about it much on this forum when there is good old America bashing to do but as far as I can tell British newspapers are like an openly racist version of FOX news. Is this true or have I been lied to?
Fairly true with a lot of them citing foreigners as a cause of many of Britain's woes : P . Also would you believe it a lot of them are owned by Rupert Murdoch the man who owns Fox?

You know you're British when you're slang makes people wonder if you actually listen to your own words.
That and you have a superiority complex regarded all other nationalities.

You know you're British when you start using the word "glass" as a verb.
The covenant are British?
Glass as a verb would be used in the instance "To glass someone" meaning to hit them with a glass bottle. A person knows they're British when they show their American friend British desserts and can't see why they're considered bland!

Thanks for the generalization there, although i realise that's a rather pointless thing to say in this thread.
But you do realise that xenophobia isn't just a British thing right?
It's all around the world!
And Britain is a pretty equal place to live.

But you know when your british when you begin defending Britain over stupid points.

When you look at your former colonies in the same manner as a parent does a wayward child, a mixture of pride and disgust, in equal measure.
Oh yes, I am most definitely British then.

What does it say about me when over half of these apply, but I'm American?

Anyway, I'd say...you know you're British when you go some place like France for the weekend.

Seriously, the fact that you have the option to go to another country just because you want to is pretty sweet. For me, at least, it's a big ordeal with lots of prep time involved. Though, I suppose going from, say, Oklahoma to California is almost like going to another country...and yet, the point about money and prep time still stands for me in that senario.

I dedicate my life to destroying the American "language", and correcting their dictionary written by a lazy man.

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.
Just a question? Which country are you from? I wanna move there just for the driving.
I'm from Austin, Texas, so we have much wider roads and a more laid-back population. Probably because they're all stoned.

When you're launched into space through a portal on the moon.

When you can understand cockney.

When you can quote Blackadder in any conversation.
I can do the latter two, but the problem here is that I'm swedish....or so I thought =)

and just to bring in the tautology/completely useless sentence."You know you're british when you know you're british." =)

You know you're british when you dress in a suit and bowler hat/top hat with a fancy moustache (for you tea-time.....and the rest of the day).

to be honest a lot of the pubs round my part serve beer in plastic cups.

It just gets round the problem.

Plastic cups are far cheaper to replace as well when they get broken.
