QuoteYou got: As British as Stephen Fry walking a corgi outside Buckingham Palace

You're awkward. You're easily embarrassed. You're sickeningly polite. You're as British as they come!

I'm as British as Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.

But I watched Red Dwarf. :hmm:

Also as British as Stephen Fry. But just as I was ready to post this, a guy from a survey company calls and I decide to be very non-British and just said, "No, thanks!".

I'm slightly proud of myself that I didn't waste 10 minutes politely answering useless questions.

I don't like the uncertainty.  <_<

That disappears once I get to know you. ;)

According to the quiz, I think a British person wouldn't pick up the phone for fear there might be another human on the line.

Are you sure the quiz writer isn't confusing "Anglophilic" for "agoraphobic"?

I used to drink tea, in the before times when I exercised like eight hours a day, but I don't think Southern style would really count anyway.

Same here, except I love uncertainty.  Without uncertainty you wouldn't have statistics.

You got: As British as a Dalek serving afternoon tea

There aren't many more British (or awkward) than you. The Empire is lucky to have you.  :bowler:



Can we have a Dalek serving afternoon tea smilie?

I got probably American.  I assume because I know what a loo is.
