We British dont have accents we are the original people who speak English.

Common things about us that arent true :

- We dont sit down for afternoon tea (majority of us anyways...upper cut people do, people in cambridge,eton etc.)
- We dont go out for picnics in the local park-if u did you'd sit in dog shit.
- Crumpets aren't a main part of our diet.
- Not all public school kids are gay.

ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE THAT WHENEVER THERES A CRISIS OR SOMETHIGN BAD HAPPENS WE DO PUT THE KETTLE ON FOR A NICE CUP OF TEA

Now taking into account the negatives, English dictates that:
we DO sit down for afternoon tea;
we DO go out for picnics in the local park;
crumpets ARE a main part of our diet;
and all public school kids ARE gay!

As we know, all of the above statements are FALSE - as a Britisher, I'd be one of the first to agree with that myself. However, it is fairly embarrasing for you to say we are the proper and original English speakers when you confused yourself with negatives.
Sorry to point this out, but it is the truth!
Keep up the good work,

you have to have negatives...theres no english language rule that says you cant have negatives otherwise they'd be positives.

Double negatives, fool! Aren't true is false. Therefore the don'ts become do's.
And on, I would not like a cup of tea, dear Alpha. Only a dictionary to obliterate the insanity shown here.

So why am I from Birmingham in the heart of England if I am Dutch? Use the logic to determine that I am indeed correct. Indeed, from where did you perceive the notion that I was Dutch?
Could someone else please put some sanity into this conversation?

Yeah,right.

When you don't have an accent you must speak Oxford English which would make you sound like a faggy German English teacher.
I really like some of the British accents but I'm more used to American English,sometimes I only get the gist of what is said.(Cockney or Brummy anyone?)

Just read what I said and it all makes sense.
Also, thanks Blindfisch!
Sometimes I'm ashamed to be English...

alright but why is : Do you like a cup of tea dear ? Commenting about English its a question if he would have liked a cup, ps. the main goal of that reply was a message that this thread is moved !

Oh, and if anyone wants to read a great user of English - look no further than George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair).
