I just found this on a website, and some of them are so true to us Brits haha.
__________________________________________________ ___________

You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable.

You're always a half an hour late to work ... no-one notices or cares.

Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.

You can actually give directions to some of those annoying tourists in Oxford Street!

You step over a drunk in the tube station rather than offering to help them.

You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast.

You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub.

You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes.

You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).

You think ?40 for a haircut is quite reasonable.

You can't remember what 'customer service' means.

After a big night out you find yourself looking for a Curry house

More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.

You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser

You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.

You only just realise you have lost your sunnies, you left them in Greece 2 summers ago.

You like English cuisine. I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.

You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year

You've bought a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco.

A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.

You always call soccer football and you have a team and it's not Manchester United.

You don't think twice about buying a packaged sandwich.

A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear

You've accepted queuing as a way of life.

You believe that every American is a fatass addicted to hamburgers and hotdogs.

You despise the French (but then, who doesn't?).

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Britan.

All of them are quite funny, I'd say the ones in bold are the most true to me. That is weird.

You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable.

You're always a half an hour late to work ... no-one notices or cares.

You can actually give directions to some of those annoying tourists in Oxford Street(Parliment Street, York)!

You step over a drunk in the tube station rather than offering to help them.

You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast.(Well as you could of guessed it pissing it down!)

You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).

You can't remember what 'customer service' means.

After a big night out you find yourself looking for a Curry house(more like a Pizzarie)

More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.

You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser

You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.(too true)

You like English cuisine. I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.(you cant beat a full English... seriously)

You've bought a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco.(bbq in the rain never hurt no one)

A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.

You don't think twice about buying a packaged sandwich.(and what exactly is wrong with that?)

You've accepted queuing as a way of life.(meh, I always found que jumping the way forward)

You believe that every American is a fatass addicted to hamburgers and hotdogs.(Cant beat sterotyping people now)

You despise the French ((but then, who doesn't?). exactly)

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Britan.

I'd say English more than British to be honest.
