This only applies partially to me because of the fact that I live in New Zealand now.. I'll always be British at heart <3
1. You know how to (correctly) pronounce Edinburgh, Buckinghamshire, Welwyn Garden City, Loughborough and Gloucester.
2. You know how to use HP sauce, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, and you do use them. All the time.
3. Tea is a drink and a meal.
4. English people don't only drive on the left, they walk on the left.
5. You own at least 5 umbrellas and 3 overcoats.
6. The weather forecast for every day of the year, all year, is one of the following:
a) Cloudy
b) Rain
c) Showers
d) Snow
e) Hail
f) Strong wind
g) All of the above
7. You know what pub stands for, and where the nearest one to your house is.
8. You love beer. Warm. And flat.
9. 5 pounds for a pack of cigarettes is normal for you unless you travel abroad, in which case you bring them back in thousands, and refuse to buy cigarettes in England should you run out.
10. There is a 70% chance the last time you saw a completely blue sky it was outside the UK.
11. When English people actually use the word "sky", 99% of the time it refers to the satellite TV.
12. Talking about the weather is a perfectly acceptable way to start a conversation.
13. A conversation about the weather will usually derive into one about football, followed by drinking. Beer. In a pub.
14. You've either seen every episode of Eastenders and Hollyoaks, or you've always heard about them and never seen a single episode.
15. You recognise Northern, Southern, Liverpool, Scottish, Welsh and Irish accents within the first 6 words of conversation.
