2.) Ladies don't wear bras (well many don't, at least). I can really appreciate this. I've been through several phases where I'd forsake 'em (and even when I do wear them, I want it to feel like I'm not. The person who invented underwire can kiss my ass.) Confusingly, some American boys *want* you to wear a bra, but are psyched as hell just to hear the word "commando." Whatever. I don't pretend to understand.
3.) People don't get expensive, silly cosmetic procedures (from what I've observed) and thusly, don't look plastic (like Americans can.) K. I think this all amounts to the British are more practical and relish *comfort* over *preening and strutting.* Cheers to that.
4.) The British appreciate the use of "understatement" as a form of humor.
5.) People are considerate and extraordinarily polite in the UK.
6.) The accent makes me drool.
7.) Fish and chips.
8.) A beautiful view while highway driving...lots of green, little litter.
9.) The British *know* how to make chocolate. Now that I've had British chocolate, I just can't go back. I've started pondering tracking down an internet ordering site for when my quickly dwindling chocolate stockpile that I imported is gone (Oh, and sorry to all those friends that I meant to give chocolate gifts to..I had the best of intentions... *wink*)
10.) Access to the boy who rocks my world.
And just to verify this, I retook this test that I took back in March, and STILL got the same outcome....
You Belong in the UK |
 Blimey! A little proper, a little saucy. You're so witty and charming... No one notices your curry breath |

2: Hmmm?? not too sure on this one..., ah, OK you went to London.
3:Totally agree, from what I've seen the USA go overboard in that area.
4: Thanks. We like our sense of humour, (even with a "u") we laugh at and with others, but not until we've laughed at ourselves first.
5: Oh, praps you didn't go to London? We do try, and in the main it is still there.
6:When I speak in Welsh, with my Welsh accent it makes me drool.. it's all the double LL's you see.
7:Glad you liked em. Did yout try mushy peas?
8: When you have to squash a whole country into something the size of California, you throw out the bad bits!
9: Whe I was in Niagra last year the duty free shop on the canadian side was full of cadburys chocolate, I'm sure I noted it was made in the UK. and....hehe, check my flickr pics, I could'nt resist!!!
10: Back here in the UK we call that "Pulling a Lever"
Now I'll try the test.
Guess what... I belong to the UK!!
Good observations, my rocksteady chick *big grin*
Brits have to be good-humoured to put up with certain females coming over and wrecking their bedrooms & bathrooms *big wink* Knowing you were coming we built sturdier cubicles for you... I rang ahead and warned everyplace that I could hence the extra towels in Oxford etc. Shame we hadn't planned on you flushing your contact or getting the Sub'ru towed... *loud laughter...*
Anyway, next time we'll go further off the highway and explore more green, OK sweet? ;)
Bras are so over-rated, but having joined the ranks of mothers whose tits reach down to our knees, I have finally discovered that they can be comfortable, as long as there is no wire. Wish I could go without, but I think it is kinder to the world to remain supported.
Looks - I play a game sometimes called 'spot the american' and I can do it pretty well with women - they (you?) have a particular look, which is not just about make up and hairstyle, but has a lot to do with that. having said that, you don't have that look so much as some...
Humour...ah yes...understatement...and sarcasm....
Something that Bill Bryson mentions in his books is that British thing for really enjoying simple pleasures like a good cup of tea and a biscuit...and there is something really comforting in that. Here's something else, when I've been to the US I always feel on edge, very aware that I am in a different country. The one time that I went over the border to Canada, I was suddenly so much more 'at home'. Go the colonies. Never been to the UK though...one day.
If you want good chocolate in the US go to your local organic supermarket (Whole Foods/Wild Oats...whatever else they are) and buy Terra Nostra organic chocolate. It is GOOOD, and should satisfy those cravings.
ooh, a rant. sorry
If you can remember that all-important U, then you're set.
I think Europe in general has a draw that those of us over here cannot resist. Comparatively, everything there seems historical and important, cultured even. It's hard to feel that way with plastic boobs poking into you ever few feet. Of course I'm only saying this because I recently took a couple days off to NYC. There's aren't a lot of plastics here where I live, and we even have the U.

Ellen:
SO, long-term plans for hanging in New Zealand, girl? Hope so, 'cause I'd love to adventure out your way...
Brom-man:
London. Really! They were polite, I swear ('course it's all relative-I live 1 hr from NYC). Oh, but one bad thing. Damn, London is POLLUTED. My snot was black after breathing that air...
Mushy peas? I missed the castles as well; I need to go back (she says after being back in the US a mere week.)
#10 *smile*
Shina:
Girl, maybe we should rendezvous there?
My Lever:
Thanks, dear.
And I KNOW you weren't just complaining. *warning grin*
Green and castles, next time, K?
Mummy/Crit:
Spot the American, aye? *laughing* I was playing that when i was in Kyoto. It was too easy though...anyone who was overweight and self-absorbed...(the Japanese are VERY fit...)
As for me, I can count on one hand the number of times I've worn makeup (I don't really know how to do it, actually.) And good point on the hair. That was another thing...ladies' hair in the UK is more natural. I tend to go in that direction, just 'cause I'm lazy. ;)
I just made scones and tea this morning...
And thanks for the chocolate tip; much appreciated.
(rant on, woman.) *big smile*
Jay:
I agree on the feelings about Europe. We're young over here.
And girl, if you're ever in NYC again, you'd BETTER ring me. I'll drag my ass an hour south to rendezvous with you, ya know!
LMAO@Johnny Crash :D
*ahem*
Sorry, sweetie, yes I got some wicked Green & Castles plans a-brewing :D
*still laughing...*
Johnny Crash:
*tries to suppress the grin and just sport a hurt-look about being teased...*
Maybe you should be a lyricist...
My Lever:
*big glowing smile*
Plan on, baby. I'm along for your ride...
;)
1. Ok BBFK, I know you've been to Japan. Now there are women who wear ridiculous shoes all day. Course maybe you weren't in Tokyo that much. But perhaps the women in NY are insane like the ones in Tokyo. For that reason platform shoes are the best invention. All the height, without all the pain.
2. I spent a year without wearing a bra. Result: damned painful going up and down stairs. And breasts lower. I say yeah Bra! But you are right underewires are the most damn uncomfortable after high heels thing that we women feel compared to wear. In fact most of my bras with underwires have them invariably ripped out. Actually Gap makes a pretty comfortable underwire.
3. I agree. Cosmetic surgery is way out of control. Everyone is beginning to look the same. Though I must say I really like straight teeth!
9. Never had British Chocolate. But my ethnicity has to say it can't be better than German? I don't know lets run to Europe and do a taste test.
10. I must go take the test.
SFMD:
Nope. Didn't do Tokyo.
And cheers to touring Europe for a chocolate taste test!!! You kick-ass for that idea, woman!!!
hmm, i belong in new zealand. no surprise. i love kiwis!
Yeah, girl, listen to Keeefer ;)
You know dad lives in Devon (just nextdoor to Cornwall) so what you waiting for? ;)
