The Modern British Empire
Noted in the book The Element:
Nowadays, being British means...
* Driving home in a German car,
* but stopping off to pick up some Belgian beer,
* and a Turkish kebab or an Indian takeaway,
* to spend the evening on Swedish furniture,
* watching American programs,
* on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all?
Suspicion of anything foreign.
