Being British
This is an email message I just got from my husband:
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 traveling 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 the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything
foreign."
Given some of the obnoxious comments I've deleted from this blog lately, that sounds about right.
I got a message from my brother the other day that he has a business trip to England, and he's going to try to come to Scotland for a visit for a couple days. I've told him that he can stay at our house, and the usual fee for Americans staying with us is a jar of Jif peanut butter and a big handful of Kool-Aid packets.
I'm also considering buying a hamster. I've never had one, but they seem very cute.
