How Do You Identify The Culture Of Your Country?

in other words, what is quintessentially British?


1.       Only the British will know the “Slaughtered Lamb’s” most famous extra.
2.      If you drink ten pints, your body will GPS itself towards a Kebab shop.
3.      Only the British will know what Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson and Robert Lindsay have in common.
4.      Only the British will know that Roger Moore nearly appeared in an Andrew Lloyd-Weber musical.
5.      Only the British will know why the bowler was holding the batsman’s willy.
6.      We know which part of Spain the rain mainly falls on.
7.      It’s not a great idea to look the guy at the next urinal in the eye and smile!
8.      Men know that five shakes and more, is getting ‘iffy.’
9.      Only the British know what “Dogger” means when I say radio four.
10.    Only the British knew about ENIGMA
11.    Only the British will know about the use of inflatable tanks in WW2.
12.    Only the British will know what an Anderson shelter was.
13.    Only the British will know that a Morrison shelter is not a bus shelter
14.   There’s always going to be one fat bridesmaid.
15.   That part of the wedding where the vicar says, “Does any man or woman know why this man and this woman should not be wed?” - that’s the bit where Brits start playing in their head, what the outcome would be if someone says yes.
16.    Only British drivers can navigate a double traffic island, with traffic lights and live.
17.    Only British people know that the only thing that the City of London was designed for, is lunch.
18.    Only the British will know that Yorkshire pudding is not a desert
19,   Only the British will know that a black pudding is served as part of a fried breakfast
20.   Only the British will know Scotch egg is not filled with chocolate
21.   Only the British will think that American  history is an oxymoron.
22.   There is a Boxing Day every year
23.   The French call it an outside cafe. The British equivalent of tables and chairs outside is called an eviction.
24    You never want a Birmingham kiss
25   And you certainly do not want a Glasgow simile


there must be many more but as I type this I can not think of them, British and proud of it!
