The British Tag

I saw this tag on Sammi's Channel a few days ago and thought why not give it a go for myself so here we go ..

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day and how many sugars?
This all depends on my mood. Generally I start my day with a Coffee as soon as I get to work which I tend to take Black or occasionally with a splash of Milk but saying that, there are just certain moods or situations that just call for a good old cup of tea, I like my tea strong but milky and depending on how serious the situations is depends on whether it's one lump or 2!

2. Favourite part of a your Roast Dinner?
Has to be Yorkshire Puddings!! I'm a Vegetarian which means I luck out quite often on the Yorkshire front. I love filling them up with the rest of my dinner and topping it off with gravy - a sort of little Yorkshire Pudding food boat. There has been times when I'll just buy a packet of Aunt Bessie's to get my Yorkshire fix.

3. Favourite dunking biscuit?
When it comes to biscuits, this girl isn't fussy! If I had to list my top three (No I can't pick one!) it would go something like Ginger Nuts, Bourbon Biscuits and Custard Creams - The classics are the best.

4. Favourite quintessentially British Pastime?
I'm going to have to go for enjoying a nice big glass of Pimms and Lemonade. Summer doesn't start until I've had my first Pimms of the year and I think it's pretty quintessentially British right?!

5. Favourite Word?
This one has stumped me, but I do like to say Gobbledy Gook quite a bit - Probably seeing as it's what language I tend to speak in the most!

6. Cockney Rhyming Sland?
Hairy Toes = Nose, Apples and Pears = Stairs, Rosie Lee = Tea, Would you Adam and Eve it? = Would you believe it?
But my favourite and one I probably use ten times a day is Hank Marvin = Starving!

7. Favourite Sweet?
I am a sucker for pick n mix. If I had to pick, I think it would have to be the White Chocolate Jazzies, Giant Strawberries or the Chewy Pencils with the white in the middle that do it for me! But saying that, if It's chocolate we are going for - nothing beats a bar of original Dairy Milk or Mini Eggs ... alright just English Cadburys in general!

8. What would your pub be called?
Maybe something like The Belle and Hart?! - My Parents have given me the nickname Belle since I was little and HART are mine and my Boyfriends initials - Very mushy I know!

9. No1 British Person?
This one is easy for me, it has to me Kate Middleton. I have such a huge girl crush on her it's unreal. I love our Royal Family, I think it's something we should be proud of as British Citizens.

10. Favourite shop / Restaurant?
If I had to, i'd probably pick either Dorothy Perkins or New Look. I'm a huge fan of the High Street and I find that 99% of the items I purchase from these shops fit my figure. As for restaurant, I'd pick The Mole Inn (http://www.moleinn.com/) literally my favourite place to eat and is your typical English Country Garden Pub!

11. What British song pops into your head? 
Anything by the Spice Girls ... "If you wanna be my lover!" or anything by Queen, I used to have really long hair as a child and my Mum and Dad used to make me Headbang to Bohemian Rhapsody just for their own amusement!

12. Marmite?
YES!! I am a huge Marmite fan, I adore the stuff. There is a fine line between too much and too little but when you get it just right it's amazing. My favourite breakfast would have to be Poached Eggs on Toast with Butter and Marmite!
