Being British is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then grabbing an Indian curry (or a Turkish kebab) on the way home, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all?
Xenophobia!
I live in Italy... yes I'm a migrant worker. You would not believe the number of 'ex-pats' (and I use the phrase in the most derogatory way....) who I have heard saying "I wouldn't want to live in the UK because it's full of foreigners!" WHAT?
Staggeringly most of those people seem to have a made "very nice living thank you" out of working in the far East, or Middle East or South America.
