Quarter of babies born to foreign mothers in England and Wales - BBC News

This is the sort of thing I mean. I still have a lot of family from England. I grew up here, went to school here, all my friends are English, I've lived here for 38 years (lived abroad for one), but you're tqlking to me as if I need schooling in British way of life. I don't. I'm not half British. I'm dual nationality. That means I'm both. I have as much experiemce of being English as people who grew up in broken homes (the ones that only see half their family), but I bet you'd never think to tell them how british humour works. I know you didn't intend that, but it read that way, like "It's typical Brit". Huh? I am English. I know what we're like. It's like you're trying to teach me things I already know and am because, for some reason, you think I don't know.

Also, the pisstaking doesn't work in that way. You call me a cheese eating surrender monkey, so I call you a buck tooth beef-eating jesus creepers and sock wearer - that doesn't work because I'm those things too. I can take the piss out of us (English) when self-deprecating to someone, but as a comeback for a nationality insult it doesn't work because now I'm a cheese eating surrender monkey buck tooth beef eating jesus creepers with sock wearer.
