Because my family and boyfriend live here. If it was purely down to me, I'd move.

Why don't you move abroad?


It annoys me when people say this, not everyone has the finance to move abroad.

To be fair, I don't on my own, without my family. Like I said though if they'd all agree to it, I'd be in Italy/USA/Tokyo/Spain/Canada before the night's end.
Have at least one British parent or take a citizenship test.

Don't you live on your own (with your boyfriend) anyway? Surely it wouldn't be any more expensive, and cheaper in most of those countries.

No, we did rent a flat for a while, but it was too expensive for what it was, so I live with my parents until we can get a house.

Yeah but neither of us will leave our families, and I can't persuade them to come :/ Otherwise I would love to.

Eat Indian curry, drink German beer, use Chinese phone, watch Australian TV, listen to American music, wear Italian clothes, holiday in Spain complain about foreigners.

Spain? Good luck finding a job. Though you're pretty hot so it'll ease it a bit.

Be painfully polite and considerate and respectful of others. Play cricket, drink real ale, and eat lots of bacon. Never do anything that might draw attention to yourself such as raising your voice or wearing brightly coloured clothing. Apologise constantly.

Invade other countries, sell them addictive drugs and when they object, start a war and seize their land.

Or indeed any other county ending in "shire", which is like 90% of the country.

No brightly coloured clothing? Are you mad? It should be one item of brightly coloured clothing, such as red cords or brightly coloured socks which can be seen peaking under your tweed suit.

Also it is not called "real" ale. It is called beer.

Invade every part of the world, take all its resources, label them part of the "commonwealth", and give them a crap version of the olympic games every 4 years.
Why do people say British?

I live near-ish to the border, and I think English people and Scottish people have some different mannerisms.
