You Know You're British When....


Be very proud to be British because...

Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to
the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke.

Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to
the counters.

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then
have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to
talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

You are an Enchantress, somewhat an enigma,
you would love to change the world. You hold
strong views and, would love nothing more, to
use your magic to change the world around you.
When in conversation, you listen, take on their
comments, and fantasise how you could improve
things. Quite the idealist, you think you have
all the answers, whether for right or wrong.
You hold your intellect high, and believe you
can change the world! In a relationship, you
need a partner of high intellect.

The world
and you, often seems at odds, with you
frequently seeing things from a different point
of view.

You have a connection with nature,
often stating, that things will take their
natural course. Nevertheless, secretly, you
would like to use nature to your own
ends.

Your good points are that you are
intelligent, instigative and thoughtful and
your bad points are, you can be single-minded,
misled and remorseless.

You feel that your
superior knowledge should astound everyone
around you; and you wish for respect from your
peers.

Hi. I'm 25 (1/4 century - scary huh?!) and have loved books since I was old enough to hold one!!
My reading at school was well above average, and I have continued to be a bookworm through to adulthood.
It is my escapism from a bad day, or stresses of day to day life - i just get lost in a book. Often I can read a whole book in 2-3 hours if I get right into it!
My book goes about everywhere I go, as i love to take any chance to read!
couldn't even begin to list books I've enjoyed - I'd be here all day! I will say though, that my tastes are VERY eclectic! I read from chic lit to Southern American/Cuban and Widwestern History with everythinhg in between.
I am a primary teacher (though having done SEN EN support in comps, right now I am a COver Supervisor in a local Comprehensive) - I did an English Literature degree (heaven) with QTS; oddly I loved analysing the books and thinking more deeply about them... In teaching, one of my greatest pleasures was sharing books with my children (they were 5/6) and hopefully instilling some of my love of books in them!
My Dad and I have always, when on holiday taken books we don't mind leaving behind and left them in a wide array of locations. I have often wondered who picks them up and if they enjoy them - the magic of book crossing is that some will register and tell you!
I believe that each book is a journey that we share as the reader, with the author - they take us on that journey from the first word to the last word...If it is a travel book, they take us on two jouneys!
BUT I also firmly believe that each book is on a journey - it's own special jouney. It sets out to meet people, find friends along the way, to be enjoyed and treasured, and remembered long after the book closed and released to the wild.
Each one of us can be a part of that journey, if we cross paths with a certain book at a certain time. That's whay i love the idea of books coming from around the world, to be read and enjoyed here then resume their journey of discovery in another part of the globe...Thus, I think book crossing is a wonderful idea.
Am working slowly on getting my shelf updated - I'll eventually get my TBR's up there too!

other passions aside from books are:
travelling. I can't be doing with beach/drinking holidays. To me going on holiday is all about the place and people, learning about the culture of the place you visit.. As you may have gathered, I love learning! theatre, cinema, socialising, and corresponding with friends in varying parts of the globe.
MUsic: I was raised on country music (first songs I ever learned words to were; John Denver- Rocky Mountian High, Reba McEntire - Whoever's In New England and KT Oslin - 80's Ladies!) As I've gotten older my tastes have diversified - I still adore country music, and I love the work of singer songwriters. Favourites are: Tia McGraff (www.tiamcgraff.com, and her Uk site manned by ME is www.tiamcgraffukfanclub.braveshost.com) Kate Campbell (www.katecampbell.com), Gretchen Peters(www.gretchenpeters.com) (who has worked extensively with Bryan Adams - love his work too)Beth Nielsen Chapman (www.bethnielsenchapman.com), Sarah McLachlan (www.sarahmclachlan.com), Lynn Miles, Lucy Kaplansky(www.lucykaplansky.com), Matraca Berg, Sinead Lohan, - among others...Check them out on their sites.
Tia McGraff and her partner/fiance Tommy Parham have just completed their 2nd very successful tour of the UK this year...they are very special friends, very talented people, and lovely people too....

I hate: people getting out of control drunk, and my number one gripe is apostrophes in the wrong places - makes my blood boil - as do spelling mistakes in public places! Guess that's the peril of being an English Graduate lol

I'll add to this if I think of anything else to tell you..
