judging by your politicians showing in the last 5 years. i think your core values are 1) lies 2) adultary 3) how to survive in power 4) hypocracy

To be British? The question alone is the answer.

English values for English schoools.
1) Queueing - The ability to form a line and wait your turn.

3)Spelling - The ability to spell English words properly.haha

This one's old, but not that bad:
"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"

what a huge load of pish, I reckon I would undoubtedly fail any Britishness test put in front of me.
I'd like to see them try to get an englishman, a welshman, a scotsman and an irishman to agree on what the 'core british valuies' were.

Heard that one said about being Australian. Probably could be said about most countries derived from Anglicism.

...reminds me of a Bernard Right-on joke form Steve Coogan's live show. I guess the fact that I'd have to explain so much cultural background to even tell the joke is part of being British

British my arse, I'm English.
Being english means getting upset at the prospect of a Scottish prime minister. Oh and the rest of the world are uncouth savages.

Only the English are British anyway. I've never put British as my nationality anywhere.
