Lighthearted- ‘You’re not British if… ‘

[ymemanresu]

Looking for giggles this morning sitting here listening to this horrendous rain. You’re not British if you don’t love talking about the weather ( usually the first topic of conversation 🤣)

You don't go out in the midday sun.

I say to my Kiwi husband “you're not British because you don’t drink the dregs of your tea cold”.

My Lancashire family say this too.

Oh no! What nationality can I identify as? I only drink coffee!

and no, American is not an option!

You’re not massively passive aggressive.

He’s great. I follow his wife too, Very British Korean. She has some interesting takes on Britishness!

If you don’t think a mince pie is going to be sweet.

(Many other countries have them but have kept the name as mincemeat or say fruit mince pie to distinguish from a meat pie.)

Interesting! But they are sweet!

That rules me out then. I have also never eaten pie mash and jellied eels or tripe and pigs trotters.

In my defence, I was born and brought up in Somerset, I am very good at queuing and I always say sorry when someone bumps into me!

I’m not very good at working out the negative version - you’re British if you think that mince pie will be sweet rather than savoury. It’s a shock if you expect meat!

You make a cup of tea without a kettle. Grim.

You don’t use your knife and fork properly, in the correct hands. I’m right, I won’t hear anything else.

Wow, the whole point of the thread. I have learnt something! I thought they were only sweet, but thanks for that, it makes sense. If I make sense!

When your world is falling apart yet when asked how's it going you reply "ah could be worse".

DH was asked last week 'How are you?'. His reply 'Still above ground'.

Reader. We were at a funeral.

😂😂 My dad’s in his 90s. His stock response, when I ask how he is, is “well I’m still alive!”

If you dont do a grateful walk- run when a car lets you cross the road to show them youre a top tier pedestrian

“Can’t complain” about something terrible but will also complain about something minor.

In my experience only women do this!

Or licence license.

Say "Good thanks" / "Very well" / "Fine thank you" when you walk into the Dr's consultation office and they ask how you are

If u don't slap your thighs and say 'right!' when you want/need to leave.

If your most extreme annoyed response to someone offending you is to BEG their pardon.

or on the other hand, in cars for example, you come out with the most inventive profane insults ("fucking shit for brains muppet", etc)

@Jamesblonde2”You make a cup of tea without a kettle. Grim” Do you mean in the microwave?

Re: my earlier post, my husband heats his tea in the microwave. Grim

You don't shout 'wheeeeeyy' upon observing a glass smash.

love this 🤣
