You know you're British when...
You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday is also entirely reasonable.
After a big night out you find yourself looking for a curry house.
Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.
You're always half an hour late to work and no one notices or even cares.
You can actually give directions to tourists on Oxford Street!
You step over a drunk on the underground rather than offering to help them.
You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the weather is like. You know it is grey and overcast.
You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub.
You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes and moisturize daily.
You collapse with laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).
You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable.
You can't remember what 'customer service' means.
More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.
You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser
You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.
You only realise you have lost your sun glasses when you remember you left them in Greece 2 summers ago.
You like English cooking. After all, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.
You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year.
You buy disposable baby BBQs from Tesco.
A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.
You always call soccer "football" and you support a team that's not Manchester United.
You don't think twice about buying a sandwich wrapped in cellophane.
A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear.
You've accepted queuing as a way of life. In fact you're proud of how good you are at it.
you know you are a brit when you wake up with a heavy head, bad breath, rubber still on the tube and realize its not your bedroom :DDD
Way too punctual. Scary punctual even.
I kinda agree to that, Brits are punctual.
Hi cheekylady, britexpat,
This tread is not about English, it is about British.
The scottish use Cheers.
I totally disagree with the below statement.
""You're always half an hour late to work and no one notices or even cares""
British are the best being on time and leaving on time, which is the right way.
Ok..Some of our british friends didn't like this thread, it seems..
Brits are always disoriented :o)
right side is the wrong side! ;o)
maybe it's just a Cape Town thing ;o) my husband (Cape Townian) and all his mates bk home really do end almost every sentence with 'cheers'.... or maybe a guy thing ha ha

The right side is the wrong side and the left side is the right side ... If you see what I mean... :o)

"You step over a drunk on the underground rather than offering to help them."
** Not True.. Look at all the people around the world we've helped :O) **
You know you're British when you can laugh at jokes yourself.
You know you're British when you regard a Pint of Bitter and a packet of Crisps as a meal out.
You know you're British if you think Muffin the Mule is a sexual offence.
