When you consider two weeks of sun in July to be a "good summer".
When 2 inches of snow in the winter can bring the entire country to a standstill.
When at any other time, the seasons are completely indistinguishable from one another.
When someone else's inability to queue LIKE A DECENT HUMAN BEING can put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
If, whenever important world news breaks, no matter how many news sources are available to you at the time, it somehow doesn't seem real until you've heard it from the BBC.

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?Canid117 said:
You know you're British when you're slang makes people wonder if you actually listen to your own words.

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!sravankb said:
Thanks for the generalization there, although i realise that's a rather pointless thing to say in this thread.Nimcha said:
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.
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.
