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.
