To me it has to be a spot of afternoon tea and readings of poetry.

Of course it isn't exclusive - that is obvious. It is only that of my opinion.

I don't know residing in Britain might make you British. Being born into a British family, that might help in making one British as well. I drink tea in the afternoon, and am quite fond of poetry, but I'm Norwegian. It sure doesn't make me British. I picture the British sitting around calling each other bloats or something like that.

Being British means being born there & living the lifestyle...
It includes a spot of tea & poetry, but not exclusively.

stiff upper lip above all, ironic sense of humor and an astonishing ability for intricated seldeprecation and laugh at themselves and as it has been said on little britain : british crave for dissapointment. in my opinion you just like to moan and get totally shitfaced on weekends, couse when you do it on a dayly basis then you get on the doll situation you seem to thoroughly enjoy as it gives you more oportunities to moan.
and that would only describe a percentage of the british population. Oh ¡and large penile size by the way

Being eccentric and queueing. We are the world's grand masters in queueing. How many other Brits out there get in a complete strop when your overseas and people have no idea how to queue? Or when tourists over here just wander to the front of the queue?
I love being British. Eccentricity rules over here.

British to me is Heavy Metal Music & being the true "white americans" along with the French & the Dutch people who fought for this country.

Being British to me...
Red public phone boxes
Pubs
Blackpool tower
Fish and chips
Bingo
Post offices
Post boxes
Royal family
Caravans
Cadburys
Vimto
Seabrook crisps
Burberry
'Chavs'
Accents
Getting far too drunk on holiday and making an idiot of yourself
But I have to say the one thing is the unique sense of humour! (Spelt the right way!).

Being British means not panicking, stiff upper lip, Roast Beef and Yorkshire pud, and of course the English Breakfast. Of course if your lucky then it means you get to meet a nice English rose....... guess who?
