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, but 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 programmes on a Japanese TV.
And the most British trait of all?.....Suspicion of anything foreign.
Chris Rock's "Quote of the Year":-
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy,the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup for sailing, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance,Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America
are named
Bush, Dick, and Colon. Need I say more?"
