You know, this might be funny IF I hadn't lived with two guys from London (actually, off Picadilly Circus) and their mum in an apartment that constantly smelled of bangers and mash, poached fish and pork-n-beans-on-toast, that had a five-by-five foot map of the London underground hanging on the wall. That wasn't particularly funny ... except that when the three of us blokes would go out, most of the girls thought that THEY were faking their accents and I was the one from England ... LOL ... of course, the even FUNNIER part is that me mum's grandfather was from Ireland, Waterford County, so it's not POSSIBLE for me to be English, right? We're of black Irish stock. Hmmm... I sense the radio bringing me a superset of “the Canterbury sound” ...
I guess it's really a pretty simplistic quiz. You know some British (English, rather) slang, recognize a few monuments and seaside towns, and all of a sudden you're a native. If only it worked that way for real. Of course, I now live in the southern USA, and I'll NEVER be considered a Southerner as long as I live ... I just don't have it in me.
Jolly good, wot! Anyone for tennis? That'll be ten ponies, guv. You're the epitome of everything that is english. Yey :) Hoist that Union Jack!
How British are you?
