You Know You're English When...

Louise Dandy, we can't believe you get a day off of school just because there's a royal wedding. No fair. No freakin' fair. —Sparkitors

England is a funny little country. We do like to moan a lot, eat fish and chips, and play golf, but I am actually quite proud to be English. You most definitely know you’re English when…

• You moan when it’s too hot.
• You moan when it’s too cold.
• You talk about the weather. Lots.
• You pity anyone who’s never shopped in Primark.
• You have a roast dinner every Sunday. EVERY Sunday.
• You know that school uniforms are the itchiest and ugliest items of clothing ever invented.
• You have invested in a seriously good umbrella, and watched it get turned inside out almost straight away by the wind.
• You know what a chav is, and how they must be avoided at all costs.
• You eat chips, not fries.
• You get angry about American TV programmes when the “English” characters always sound like the Queen.
• You know that English people don’t all live in little thatched cottages.
• You are ridiculously excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding. (A day off school to watch TV? Okay!)
• You have NO idea what a Chuck E Cheese, tater tot, or pep rally is.
• You are almost guaranteed a snow day if there’s more than 3cm of snow on the ground.
• You know that Ant and Dec are probably the two funniest guys on TV.
• You, like the Canadians, know that “honor” is actually spelt “honour."
• You think that American football actually looks a lot more like rugby.
• You know that a cup of tea with two sugars is the drink of gods.

What do you think? Are YOU English?
