One of the British national daily newspapers was asking readers
"what does it mean 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 shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all?
Suspicion of anything foreign ".
