What Does It Mean To Be British?
A British national daily newspaper asked readers: "What does it mean to be British?" Some replies were hilarious, but this one from a resident of Switzerland stood out:
"Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then going home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American and Australian shows on a Japanese or Korean TV, which will soon be powered by a Chinese power station."
And the most British thing of all? "Suspicion of anything foreign."
