GG Yes, you are as English as I. Don't blame me for this...I didn't organise the country this way.

You are, of course, as Welsh as the Taff.

Blast this two posts rule....now I have to waffle to get my point across (nothing new there, then!)

Ah but even if I am as english as you (and I'm not conviced of that) I'm guessing that there is no way you are as welsh as me!

And as some of us know - Welsh rules!!!!!!!

GG You got me there!

My family, on both sides, has a long line showing we were from the Yorkshire area. Admitted, with my surname, there is good reason to believe that we had a Scandinavian input at some point, but given that the Danes etc were pretty big in those parts once, it's almost unavoidable.

ok NOW I understand my problem...it's 'coz I'm a brit.....apparently this followed me to Canada

add this one to your list then...
only a Brit uses a big ass butcher knife to cut a cheap candle that is resting on a tile counter top (slippery) to make it fit into the candle holder and then cuts the top of their finger off.....bleeding like hell...trots off to the emerg. for a stitch up.

only in Britain can you go into hospital
have major surgery, contract a hospital borne infection,
then get sent home with an open wound ,
only to be told that you will have to drive to the surgery to have
your dressing changed as the district nurse is too busy..
So inflaming said wound , no appologies from the hospital nor the district nurse

Oh so proud to be British !!!!

i dont think the thread is ripping the country apart, rather it is poking fun at its inhabitants little eccentricities- and god knows there are plenty of them (and I do include the Welsh and Scottish contingent with thier own particular brands of insanity-you know who you are-).
Its being done in the same way that as a family member you may point out the family faults-but NO one else can-well not if they want to stay out of hospital.
I Love being english, and at the end of the day we are all part of the britpack.



THE U.K ROCKS
All together now
Ruuule Britannia.... de da de... daaa..........:

That's the thing, Liverchick, we Brits are all part of the same family. We fall out and moan at one another, but, at the end of the day, we can all sit down with a drink and joke about it. We've all been abroad and seen other Brits in the pub or on the beach, and found it easy to approach them and natter about this and that. It doesn't matter which bit they are from - we all get on wherever we are.

I'm only proud to be British when I'm stood next to an American. Sh1t isn't wasn't long ago that we lived in a fair and moral society then came along Iraq.
