    Folks, don't forget she needs the "why" part - why you associate such things with being English!

    Muddy4Paws, the funny thing is is that people sometimes guess Paul as having an English accent, which he does not at ALL - but he did watch a lot of Dr. Who when he was a kid!

    And there was a receptionist where Paul used to work who thought I was two people - "that British lady who calls" and Paul's wife. I don't know why she thought I sounded British on the phone, I mean, how much of an accent can one convey in 7 syllables "May I speak to Paul Watts, please?" is just about all she ever heard me say before she transferred the call!

    And something, I think it was called a Farmer's lunch? Bread, cheese, apple, and CHUTNEY! Oh yes, chutney is defininteely British.
    It is called a ploughman's lunch.

    Burberry Clothing- the plaid is very British!

    The London underground- The only way to travel in London

    Buckingham Palace-where the queen lives

    Rock music- for reasons already listed

    The way they call lunch dinner, and supper tea-time. Oh and they call brunch elevensies!

    Bisto Gravy-they serve it on everything

    The classic double decker buses

    The bear skin hats the guards where at Buckingham palace

    Soccer games- the British are football mad (you could also say hooligans are VERY British, but I am going to concentrate on the good things)
