So I decided to put myself to the test. I'm going to see how many of the 50 things swns.com has decided makes us 'typically English'. 50 traits are quite a lot however, so I'm going to do 20 so It's not too long, and in the end I'll tally my answers up and see "How British Am I?".

1. A love of pubs
I think it's undeniable that pubs are great, there welcoming, do great food and serve real ales. What more can you ask?
2. Love of Sunday Roast
Sunday dinners (or roasts) are my absolute favourite food ever! Typically though, I have them on random days, like I had one on Monday, and I'm having one today. My favourite parts are the roast potatoes, along with the gravy. I always eat the roasties first.
3. Talking about the weather
I mean, I moan about the weather if that counts?
4. A soothing cup of tea to ease worries
I don't care what anybody things, a cup of tea makes everything better! I love it so much that I get really annoyed that coffee's allowed in the UK.
5. A stiff upper lip
Nope!

6. Moaning
Oh God. Yeah, I moan a lot. It's not a good trait to have a good moan feels very nice. Ask me anything and I'll find a reason to moan at it.
7. Queuing
Unless there's about a million people in front of me, then it doesn't bother me.
8. Watching soaps
I love soaps, but I don't really watch them anymore, although I always know what's happening in them. So can I have half a point for that?
9. DIY on a Bank Holiday
................I should leave this blank, 'cause it doesn't happen.
10. Eating meat and two veg
I've never had that.

11. Saying sorry
I feel like I say sorry for everything! If i move a tiny bit and i bump into somebody where they cant even feel it, I do. Honestly, it's an annoyance.
12. Enjoying satire and wit
Yeah, satire's okay, however I do enjoy wit.
13. Sarcasm
I enjoy sarcasm a lot. I also do it all the time, but people don't realise I'm being sarcastic.
14. Irony
I can't say I care about it.
15. Not wanting to ‘make a fuss’
I don't mean to make fuss, although I seem to do it continuously. Yet, I don't like doing it.

16. A love of bargains
Bargains are my thing, okay. I love them, I get annoyed when I spend a lot of money on something. In the UK high-street, there's nothing more bargain like than Primark, and it's my favourite shop.
17. Gossiping with neighbours over the garden fence
I did that with my old neighbours, but the ones we have now are miserable so I don't.
18. Obsession with traffic
I don't drive- I'm not old enough to drive, so nope.
19. Inability to complain
I don't complain to managers and people like that, although I'll happily complain in my head or to friends and family.
20. A love of curtain twitching
What's curtain twitching?

Out of the 20 I answers, I got 12.5 out of 20.
I though I'd have more than that to be honest, because I obsess over my Britishness, seriously.
Maybe I'll do a part two, and finish the other questions.
