Default Being British.

Being British is about driving in a German car, to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer.
Traveling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a chinese meal 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.

It might be where you live Miss, but not up here where REAL Brits live....

Being British to us is about driving a Nissan, designed and made in Sunderland, to a proper pub with Timothy Taylor's Directors on tap, for a decent local steak with chips, veg and Bisto gravy. Then, if pi55ed, walking home in Walkley clogs to sit in front of a blazing fire topped with Thorelsby coal to watch Coronation Street on the old Pye telly powered by electricity from Drax.

A nice cup of Yorkshire tea before bed goes down well, made with proper water that fell out of the skies over the Dales or Pennines, with a nice Abbey biscuit from Whalley or a McVitie from Carlisle.

And we are not in the LEAST suspicious of anything foreign - and to prove it, we've even invited Jelster, Fizzwheel, Dr Rich and a few other blatant foreigners to come up here in June......although we may lock our women up because they seem to be a source of great attraction for marauding Southerners (don't they, ****y and ***c....)
