The British Tag!


Hello everyone.
I've seen so many videos of the British Tag from some of my favourite blogs, so I thought I would do it too. 
Enjoy!


1-How many cups of tea do you have a day and how many sugars?
I’m not a massive tea drinker so I don’t have to drink it each day. On a usual day, I will drink two cups of day and I have one sugar in my tea.

2-What is your favourite part of a roast?
If anyone reading isn’t British and doesn’t know what a roast is, it is a cooked dinner with meat, vegetables, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. It is traditionally eaten on a Sunday.

My favourite part of a roast dinner would be either the Yorkshire puddings (when they are homemade) or roast potatoes when they are slightly crispy on the outside. I can’t pick between the two.

3-What is your favourite dunking biscuit?
I don’t really dunk my biscuits into tea but when I do I have custard creams. I just think they are the perfect biscuit as they aren’t too strong in taste. The only thing I don’t like is that I normally end up with a biscuit floating around in my tea when I dunk them because I usually don’t realise that I’ve dunked them for too long.

4-What is your favourite quintessentially British pastime?
I found it SO difficult for me to find an answer for this question. I only occasionally go to car boot sales and I’m not a massively big fan of sports either. I do like Picnics and having afternoon tea in a cosy café every so often.

5-What is your favourite word?
My favourites are bits and bobs meaning a collection of random items and Gormless meaning stupid or having an expression on your face which makes you look uneducated. I get told by my sister on a regular basis to stop looking so gormless!

6- Cockney rhyme slang?
The most common cockney rhyme slang I’ve heard of is apples and pears meaning stairs.

7-What is your favourite sweet?
My favourite sweets are Dolly Mixtures that are little multi-coloured sweets in various shapes. I also enjoy Jelly tots which are little sweet circles covered in sugar. I also love Magic Stars which are star shaped chocolates (I don’t think you could class them as sweets though)

8-What would your pub be called?
I would call my pub The Frog Prince because my favourite animal is a Frog and it also said that when a princess kisses a Frog, they turn into a prince.

9- No.1 British person?
My favourite British person by far is David Walliams and I’m sure my friends or family won’t be surprised when I say this. He is so funny and has done so many things for charity whilst overcoming his own problems too. I would recommend reading his autobiography Camp David if you want to find out more about him.

10-What Is your favourite shop/restaurant?
My favourite British shop would be Topshop or Boots. Topshop is a high street clothing shop that also has their own makeup too (I love their lipsticks). Boots is a drugstore/pharmacy store which also has such a wide range of high street and higher end beauty counters.

11- What British song pops into your head?
Embarrassingly the first British song that pops into my head is Wannabe by The Spice Girls. They are a girl band who formed in the 1990’s.I also think of the legendary bands from Manchester such as The Stone Roses. I’ll link some of their songs at the bottom if you want to have a listen.

12-Marmite?
No. I really hate it.

I tag all of you to do the British Tag as a video or on your blogs. If you do, I’d love to see it!
Thanks for reading,
