Interesting Fact - Britishness

Image
According to report by NatCen Social Research 82% of Brits are proud to be British. (But only 62% of people who live in Britain said they would rather be citizens here than anywhere else. In a similar survey, commissioned by Tetley, researchers also found that Brits wear summer clothes at the first glimpse of sun, apologise too often, discuss the weather (see the forum), and make tea in response to a crisis.  The top signs of Britishness were eating a Sunday roast, the Fab Four, takeaway grub and the traditional brew (not beer - tea). Well 3 out of 4 isn't bad, I still think the Fab Four are overrated.) Source

Interesting Place - Britain

You've heard of the Welsh, the Irish and the Scots, well say hello to the Cornish. (Not the pasty, the people. Cornwall has won recognition as a national minority. Flag - St Piran Language - Cornish Nationality - Cornish In the census of 2011, 84,000 people declaree themselves “Cornish”, but only 557 people claim that the Celtic dialect is their main language, although there are now dual-language street signs throughout the county. I don't think you can call yourself Cornish, if you can't speak Cornish. There should be a test.) Oh look!  There is! Can you tell the difference between Dothraki and Cornish? http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/dothraki-or-cornish-can-you-tell-the-difference
