What It Means To Be British

One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers
"What it means to be British?". Some of the emails are hilarious,. This is one from a chap in Switzerland ...

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for
a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a
Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch
American shows on a Japanese TV and when they are overseas, in trying to be popular, they pretend to be Irish.
And the most British thing of all?
Suspicion of anything foreign.
