Oh so British.



The royal wedding is less than four days away and television networks have saturated the airwaves with coverage leading up to the nuptials.  Many reports have revealed that we colonists have more interest in Prince William and Kate Middleton, than our former sovereign nation.  Perhaps Americans are experiencing a little British envy right now.  England is rather quaint with their strict class system and little traditions. 

As a self-proclaimed Anglophile I was happy to read the results of a recent public opinion survey conducted in the U.K.  It turns out I’m already quite British.

Over 60% of those polled believe drinking tea is an English attribute.  So is talking about the weather.

He's Shakespeare and just hanging out and being British.
Nearly half of respondents said that getting in line properly is very important.  Many also agreed that watching soap operas is very British thing to do.
Best sign ever spotted on the Number 9 bus in London.
Lastly, thirty-two percent strongly support the royal family.
