Nasrullah Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm british...well sort of!(not culturally?)I moved to australia as a kid from scotland with my scottish parents. So i took this 10 question test. And here are the results: You scored 6 out of 10. You’re a hop, skip and a jump from calling yourself a Brit. You probably know that in the U.K. an elevator is called a lift and the second floor is called the first floor. Spending a few days eating fish and chips with proper Englishmen will give you that extra schooling you need to blend in with every regular bloke in the pub. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/can-speak-british-english-110833.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Do "proper" & "Brit" fit in the same sentence? Making of a "regular bloke"? Us irregular continentals will never seem to fit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannork Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I scored 8 but I disagree about the question regarding surgery- there would be no definite article, no 'the surgery'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I got 9 out of 10. And I don't agree with the one I got "wrong". And yes, I'm a Brit. EDIT Oh, and the photo in the OP is not "fish and chips", at least not in a British sense. EDIT 2 Now I understand, it's an American (USAToday) idea of ow wot we talk, like. EDIT 3 This, is a reasonable approximation to fish and chips, needs to be wrapped in a copy of the Manchester Evening News to be truly pukka. Needs mushy-peas too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I scored 8 but I disagree about the question regarding surgery- there would be no definite article, no 'the surgery'. "The Surgery" is the place where your GP performs his services. At least it is in the North West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I got 10/10, I'm a proper Brit. And only Northerners have mushy peas with their fish and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The usual kind of rubbish from somebody who thinks they understand how we speak. Agree that the surgery one is particularly suspect. I think most people would just say they were going to the doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLover Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Alas, I have failed this test but Mother England has given me and my 5 wives free housing, a monthly stipend and saved me from my desert warland- how can I complain?

Duncan Donut Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Down in Pattaya, Brits wear skimpy Hawaiian vest t-shirts and Union Jackulate shorts, sit in bars eating ‘Full English’ breakfasts washed-down with pints of fizzy lager, whilst watching a ‘footie' match. And then there's their husbands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
