Poll: What Kind Of Attitude Is That?

According to the “What the Hell Kinda Attitude is That?” quiz at AKA Cooties, I have a British attitude (which is good, as I’m largely a Brit) which can be summed up by saying “Oy! Oy! Oy! You have a British Attitude! You’re a stout-slogging, fish-battering, monarch-having, mac-wearing, pastey-white, eccles cake eater”.

Well, apart from the fact that I dislike Stout (it’s more for the “older generation” and the Irish in my eyes – and, yes, Guinness is stout), I don’t like fish – battered or otherwise (but I do like pineapple fritters – pineapple slices fried in batter – doner-meat fritters and chips: and that’s what I had for dinner earlier), I don’t have a Mac (it’s kind of coat) and I’ve got no opinion about Eccles Cakes it’s quite correct.

Yes, we do have a Queen (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II) and I do think we are better having a monarchy than other countries (if the government of the day really messes up she can override their decisions and totally dissolve/break-up the government: its formal title is, I believe, Her Majesty’s Government) and I’m reasonably white – I did go down to beach around 9 months ago now and get a bit of a tan, but it’s beginning to fade. Oh, I’m sure quite a portion of the current inhabitants of the British isles would disagree with the “pastey-white” comment (Leicester, in fact, is the second largest Hindu city outside India according to the UK Asian Population Report – and the people that follow the Hindu religion only make up two thirds of Leicester’s Asian community).
