THE BRITISH TAG

I think tags are one of the most fun posts to do and to read, they're a bit of a laugh but you can often find a lot about someone's personality through them! I've seen quite a few people do 'The British Tag' so thought that today I'd share my answers! I'm not sure who came up with this originally but credit goes to them for the idea, though I've also added a few of my own questions!

1) How many cups of tea do you have a day? Milk and sugar?

I'm not really a big drinker of any sort of beverages, I just always seem to forget and definitely need to change that! So I'd say on average just one cup of tea, however I'm not opposed to having more! I have it with milk and two sugars. 

2) Favourite part of a Roast dinner?

Yorkshire puddings or if we have them then pigs in blankets - but we usually only have that around Christmas!

3) Go to dunking biscuit?

Now I only like to dunk occasionally as it is so disappointing when you're left with soggy biscuit in your tea! However, one of my favourites are chocolate chip cookies - not a soft and chewy one as they would just break instantly, but the smaller, hard cookies you get in packets. 

4) Favourite quintessentially British pastime?

My first thought was Afternoon Tea, however that's not something I ever do regularly, so a more accurate answer would be talking about the weather. Us Brits can, and will talk about the weather at any chance we get, it is the perfect conversation starter. It's like the subject is programmed into us at birth and we find it fascinating! 

5) Favourite British word?

This one changes quite a lot but I do like the word 'gutted' - as in disappointed and 'bagsy' - as in I have now claimed something to be mine. This was a huge thing at school and the bagsy rule was one you followed more closely that any other. If your friend had 'bagsied' the football or the front seat then you wouldn't dare to take that away from them!

6) Favourite sweet?

I found this one pretty hard, there's a few that came to my mind: Lemon Sherbets, Pear Drops, Rhubarb and Custards, Fizzy Peaches, Flying Saucers and Licorice. Something I also always enjoy is a Sherbet Fountain, these are all classic British sweets so if you have no clue what I'm on about then you're missing out! 

7) Favourite British shop or restaurant?

I honestly have no clue for this, there are a lot of places I can aimlessly wander in and still enjoy myself - especially if homeware is involved! Or, come Christmas time I literally love going in every shop just to see all the decorations and festive bits! Brand wise I would say Cadbury's 100% though!

8) Marmite? 

Love it. Yes it is odd but I am a massive fan of it and now I could really do with some on toast!

9) What's your order in a chip shop?

It depends, but usually either burger and chips, sausage and chips or chicken nuggets and chips. I also love chips in gravy or curry sauce too! I feel like I've definitely typed 'chips' too many times now...

10) Something that reminds you of a typical British school?

Wet paper towels. Enough said. 

11) Most 'British' thing about you?

The fact that I could speak 'sarcasm' fluently from about 6. Or the fact that I find myself loudly muttering 'you're welcome' when holding the door for someone and they don't say thank you. 

12) Favourite board game?

Cludeo all the way. A classic and one of the best out there!

Let me know if there is anything you relate to, or perhaps one you have a completely different answer for!
