The British Tag

I Love this country. We have great opportunities available living here, so thought I'd give this tag ago. I tag anyone else who reads this and fancies giving it a go!



  1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how many sugars? Now this is probably really un-Brit like of me, but I actually don't like tea. I'm a massive coffee lover. and it was only about 4 years ago I started drinking that, with 3 sugars in a swell! I can now limit my sugar intake quite well, and since being pregnant I have gone off coffee quite a bit, which I guess is a lot healthier for me. I do enjoy the occasional fruit tea.


2. What is your favourite part of your roast dinner? Well, Roast dinner is my absolute favourite. I make amazing Yorkshire puddings (just blowing my own trumpet there). I love everything about a roast dinner. I simply couldn't choose just one thing. I do leave my yorkshire puddings till last to just savour them. I am an absolute sucker for a carvery as well. what is not to like. especially when you can potentially have a roast dinner any day of the week!

3.What is your favourite dunking biscuit? Again, I don't drink tea so also don't dunk (I just don't get it, explain to me if you wish?) I am a biscuit fiend though. Any with chocolate on and they are gone in a day. I especially Fox's, you know the advert with the mafia panda. These are my favourite at the moment

4.What is your favourite quintessentially British Pastime? I'm stuck between two. One is visiting the pub with my friends, having a few drinks and playing pub games. Drunk darts anyone?? (hilarious) I also love afternoon tea outings. I love scones, I also pronounce it like cone and do not start the argument with me. I'm from Norfolk I speak the queens English and have literally no accent. people often ask me where I'm from cause they just can't pin point it! 

5. What is your favourite word? I don't think I actually have a favourite word. I like all words. Thankfully I'm very fluent in our own language. I do occasionally like to chuck out nice long words in my sentences to throw off my sister and fiancé. They do get confused. I do have fond memories of the word 'abrupt'. Its like onomatopoeia , plus I find it hilarious that my sister has no idea how and where to use this word in a sentence!

6. Do you know any cockney rhyme slang? Adam and Eve - Believe, apples and pears - Stairs, Lady Godiva - Fiver. I reckon everyone knows at least 1!

7. what is your favourite sweet? I love chocolate and all things sweet. Favourite sweets are haribo's goldbears, I can guess all the colour correctly blind folded (random skills hell yes!!) and chocolate is Galaxy (sorry Cadburys its just creamier mmmmm.)

8. What would your pub be called? I have worked in the hospitality industry since I was 16. I like my pubs, good ones too. I'd probably stick with something classic, like Coach and Horses, The crown. My favourite pub in the world is the Albatros in Wells Next The Sea. Its not even a English themed one, just my favourite place to go sit and have a brew!

9. Who is your no.1 British Person? actually this is hard ... The Queen is what we should all say, but I actually love Emma Watson. She's perfectly lady like and British in herself. Plus Hermione was awesome in the films!

10. What is your favourite shop and Restaurant? My favourite shop is actually Boots. You can get everything from there or Tescos. I'm a sucker for bargains and tesco do some brilliant home ware stuff, and well the clubcard is good too. My favourite restaurant varies, Brad and I love pizza so normally something along those lines, but we also LOVE Nandos. I'm not even sure if it was starting in the UK but we seem to be pretty much top of the countries talking about it. 

11. What British song pops into your head? Song 2 - Blur. Massive Blur fan. Gutted I didn't see them live that year they played at Glastonbury. That and Anything Arctic Monkeys, but Mardy Bum is just great and i love them.
