That's sound logic. I suppose it's one of those "I know a foreigner when I see one" deals.
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the reply, here is a simple check for you colonials on how to spot a native Brit.
1 Follow the suspect into a supermarket such as Walmart (other supermarkets are available).
2 Do not be alarmed if they start browsing in the gun section, they may just be a curious Brit.
3 When opportune ram you shopping trolley as hard as you can into the back of their legs.
4 If they turn round and apologise most profusely, 100% native Brit.
However, there are some provisos, best not to try it with any Northerners, particularly Mancs, Geordies or scousers. I have lived in the North for 25 years now, lovely people, very down to earth, but you are likely to be met with a (insert naughty word) off response.
Also, avoid using this check on Glaswegians, again lovely people but they might respond with a Glasgow kiss. Believe me no matter how attractive you find them you want to avoid a Glasgow kiss at all costs.
