[Ms. OBrien CVT]

You Are 60% British



Congrats, mate. You're are probably British.
(If not, definitely Australian. Or Kiwi. Or Canadian.)

You enjoy most aspects of mainstream British culture, without being stereotypical about it.
You also have a typical British temperament. You wouldn't dream of being impolite.

How British Are You?

[Dreams2014]

All you yanks are Brits anyway. We did kind of, you know, rule you once and all that.

*sits back and awaits flame war*

I've never been to Britain lol but what's an anglophile?

Anglo = English
phile = lover

Anglophile = lover of English things.

Since you grew up in Singapore, a former British bastion, I am surprised you did not score higher!

[Dreams2014]

Do you know what the other name for an Englishman is?  An American who missed the boat.

I can believe that. I want to be American lol. Unfortunately we can't just get on a boat like all your ancestors did.

That's true.  Many of the early colonists were of British origin.  We have our fair of Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians, Slavs, and Hispanics too.

Sorry things didn't work out so well.  And any of the leftover Anglophiles in the 1780s moved to Canada anyway.

All in fun, no harm meant....

Oh don't worry I know it was a joke, I just actually do want to live in America, not in Britain lol

[big kim]

I'd swap Blackpool for somewhere warm and dry in America,it's rained stair rods today

Oh so it's something like an Otaku for British culture...never knew such...fans of enlgish culture existed.

I had a friend like that in Singapore who as Eurasian and isisted that British people were perfect and that he was a 100% brit.

Also my mom worked for the US Navy and pretty much i was raised more "american" than the average Singaporean.

Oi! Watch your mouth girl!

There's plenty to love about English culture...apparently.

not awful

You Are 45% British

[JoW]

Only 80% British sadly, despite being born in Britain and living here all my life and having ancestors from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

I blame the Harrods question.

[K Style Addiction]

Couldn't help myself.

[CalmRage]

You're about as British as a half hearted Anglophile... in other words, a piss poor Brit.
If you are indeed from Britain, you probably consider yourself a European more than anything else.

If you're trying to pass for a Brit, you're going to have to try a little harder.
Go to a football match. Drink until you puke. And head in to work the next morning totally hungover.

This question made me laugh:

The last time you were sunburned, you were on vacation.

You see, if you actually were British, the last time you were sunburned would've been when you were on holiday.

You Are 80% British
Are you British? Hell, you're more of a Brit than the Queen is!
 You're truly the dog's bollocks... and you know that's not an insult.

 So what if you're a slobbering drunk obsessed with football?
 At least you always remember your manners.

I am British by birth, but was raised in South Africa by my British parents. I'm so British that I've actually apologised to a table because I'd carelessly bumped into it, bruising my leg in the process. That reflexive apology made me chuckle at my own Britishness. 

[Taka]

i'm only 55% british

i miss more questions about humor, i prefer british over american.

and for some funny reason i get more sunburns on holidays than on vacations. might be because i learned british english in school.

Did you take the British meaning of holiday? or the American?  And does vacation mean something different to British people than American?  I'm so confused by your statement here.

I didn't even need to mention Doctor Who!

It's just that i call it holiday when i'm on holiday. Never was on vacation before i started talking to lots of american people on the internet.

[FTMDiaries]

Yes, 'vacation' is an American word. The rest of the Anglosphere calls them 'holidays' (although Canada uses both terms).

'Vacation' used to be a British word, several centuries ago - which is how the Americans got hold of it. But it specifically meant a long summer break taken by the law courts & universities, because wealthy families used to vacate their main home to spend the summer at their summer residence.

In the UK, we refer to the public or religious holidays by their name or purpose (e.g. Christmas, Lent, Summer Bank Holiday or whatever) and we call any longer-term recreational break a 'holiday'. Hence my comment; to be truly British, the question should have been worded as "The last time you were sunburned, you were on holiday."
