I literally just answered them all and had so much fun doing it! I'll send you some though incase you don't want to do every single one. Still loads though! 🙈 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8.
Yayyy i really wanted to do this, even though I’m not British! I have pretty strong feelings about most of these questions so I’ll just go ahead and answer them all 😆 let’s do this:
1. Who’s been your favourite bake off contestant?
This one is hard, I have so many favourites. But I’ll say Dr Tamal Ray because I had such a crush on him
2. What are your opinions on Love Island?
Judge me all you want - I know it’s horribly sexist and just overall awful for a whole lot of reasons but I’m hooked. It’s just great TV, what can I say
3. What were your favourite CBBC shows back in the day?
I hear CBBC broadcast Hey Arthur, which we had in Brazil growing up. So I’m gunna say that one
4. What’s a British stereotype that you hate?
I don't necessarily hate any of them as they don't really apply to me, but the accent one is so inaccurate it’s funny. Another one I thought was strange when I first moved here was that people were a lot less classy than I had expected lol
5. How about a British stereotype that’s actually very accurate for you?
I fit in pretty well with the introvert, tea-drinking stereotype.
6. Favourite British accent?
I love a friendly farmer Somerset accent. I also love all Scottish accents, and maybe Geordie depending on who’s speaking
7. Any British landmarks you want to visit?
I haven't been anywhere north of Oxford in 7 years, so I’d still like to see all things Northern, starting with the Hadrian Wall
8. What’s the best John Lewis Christmas ad?
That one with the hare and the bear was pretty cute, but Monty the Penguin wins
9. Where is the true North/South divide?
In my super non-expert opinion, anywhere north of Cambridge is no longer the South. There is no such thing as a North-South divide because the Midlands exist, and then I’d say the North starts in Nottingham.
10. Explain the Freddos controversy for all your non-British followers
Cheap chocolate trebled in price, sending everyone into a frenzy
11. Favourite part of a roast dinner?
Obviously the roast potatoes
12. What’s the best dunking biscuit?
Not a dunker at all. So none
13. What are your thoughts on marmite?
Give me all of it. Marmite is life
14. Favourite British swear word?
Both are shite. But if I had to choose, Busted
16. Complete this sentence “the DFS sale will end when…”
17. Favourite Horrible Histories song?
I’ll be honest and say I don't actually know what this is.
18. Which selection box does your family get at Christmas?
My boyfriend’s family usually gets Quality Street, but it varies.
19. Which wife of Henry VIII deserved better?
They all deserved better than him! But I am particularly sympathetic of the first one.
20. What are your thoughts on school uniforms?
I think they’re necessary. You don't have to think about outfits, so you can save your nice clothes for the weekend
21. Is it pronounced scone or scone?
Scone as in cone with an s, duh
22. How do you take your tea?
Pretty strong with just a dash of milk and maybe a little bit of honey.
23. Give us some British TV show recommendations
Peep Show for sure, The Inbetweeners, Vicar of Dibley, Gavin & Stacey, Sherlock and GBBO.
24. Best thing to get from Greggs?
Vegan sausage roll for the controversy, cheese and onion pasty for the flavour
25. Jaffa Cakes: cakes or biscuits?
I feel very unqualified to answer this lol but I’ll say cakes. It’s in the name!
26. Which is the best movie in the Cornetto trilogy?
This one is a bit too British for me. I don't know
27. Which Gavin and Stacey character are you most like?
I am very pleased to say that I have been described as a hybrid of Pam and Gwen.
28. Louis Theroux or David Attenborough?
Sir David all day long. I do love Louis though.
29. Pick a song to be the new national anthem
I’m thinking the theme song of a really iconic TV show, like Countdown or Match of the Day? That'd be funny
30. Chips with gravy: a delicacy or an abomination? How about curry sauce?
Abomination. Likewise, curry sauce can fuck off
This was so fun to do, @vickypoochoices!! I feel a little bit more British now, having listed these. Hahaha <3
