May. 6th, 2010 05:13 pmAccording to this, on a scale of English to Welsh, I'm English
You are English
You must think you're so cool, with your gastropubs, rhyming slang, and cricket bats. Clearly, you like to side with the majority: England has Britain's largest city, 83 percent of the United Kingdom's population, and nearly a millennium of pushing other countries around. As such, they have taken on a role as self-appointed nanny to the rest of the country, especially those Welsh. The English have a reputation for being chaste, meticulous, and polite, if a bit smug and self-righteous. And definitely neurotic (see Gavin's mum). They can certainly kick their heels up with the best of them, but there's always a latent sense of guilt holding them back.
