What is a typical Brit?

Do you mean English? There’s way more of the English than the other 3 home nations combined.

Where I used to live, a typical local Brit could pronounce Welsh place names, took part in Eisteddfodau as a child, loves Dragons.

A good friend of mine wears a kilt for special occasions, eats square sausage and thinks of Carlisle as being quite southern.

Are we typical Brits or not?

I'm probably not typically British. I'm not full of hatred about anyone with a vaguely different type of life or ethnic origin to myself. I value intelligence, tolerance, fairness. I try to learn from history and use that knowledge to anticipate the future. I don't celebrate ignorance. I do know that there are many things that I don't know.

I feel that if many British were more typical of me, then Britain might be better...

Brit ? . I am British . Father English, Mother Welsh. Yet I have had done a genetic test. Due to a medical condition I have Dupytens contracture . Which showed I am from Viking descent ? . Yes blue eyed and blond from birth. So more Scandinavian if looking at physical features. If asked I say first English , but then add Father English , Mother Welsh.

"I'm English, and happy with that. I don't feel remotely British, which is an artificial, Empire-era, politically convenient landgrab."

How we define ourselves is really interesting, isn't it? I'm much more comfortable saying British than English, though I'm obviously both. But that's probably because there was an unsavoury association around parts of 'Englishness' when I was growing up, and it felt less welcoming to English people who looked like me, and I never quite shook it off.

British doesn't feel artificial to me, just geographical: most of us are from the island of Great Britain or British Isles (bar our Northern Irish brethren).

And I reckon I'm a pretty typical Brit: I apologise a lot, I queue patiently, I'm pretty understated and love a roast.

I love the unplanned unity of a queue...but think I'm angriest when someone thinks they don't have to queue.

A cup of tea and a chat will solve any problem, and ten pints of ale will cause them.

I cannot get in a taxi without asking "been busy tonight?"

"I'm English, and happy with that. I don't feel remotely British, which is an artificial, Empire-era, politically convenient landgrab."

I’m the opposite , quite OK with my British passport, history and the freedom and privileges provides me. But I don’t have any of the traits like Sunday dinners, queues, discussions about weather and I have a problem with things like manners and constant use of the word sorry.

That's all you need to know about being English

Leaves work in their German car, Stops off for a pint in an Irish pub,

Gets an Indian for dinner on the way home, then sits on a Swedish sofa to watch American shows on a Japanese TV.?

Yes, we're best when embracing and outward looking . But I won't turn this into a Brexit rant!

I'm British purely by an accident of birth. I daresay if I'd been born in Belgium or Burkina Faso, I'd still be me, which makes nationalism seem a bit silly.
