What it means to be British
One of the British national daily newspapers has been asking for comments about: "what it means to be British". Here is a comment from a chap in Switzerland who lived in Britain for 12 years.
"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV; and the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign."
Fire safety in the home
The West Sussex, England, Fire Brigade were invited to a local Primary School to talk to the children about fire safety in the home. One of the firemen let off a smoke alarm, which made its customary high-pitched noise. The 6 year olds were asked what the noise represented. A little boy's hand went up and he answered, "That's mummy cooking dinner."
