The British Tag!

I have arrived back from my holiday in Turkey today. I have not slept since 11 last night as my flight was at 2.30am and did not really sleep on the plane. As a result, I am shattered but am too overtired to sleep, so I thought I would do a simple and easy blog post today. Sorry I haven't put the last part of my bikini summer guide up yet, but don't worry I will try and get round to that very soon.

As my holiday is unfortunately over, I now need to try and get back into the swing of things. My A2 school work needs to be completed (now, that I have my results!), my 17th birthday is coming up, which has been a long time coming, and I am so excited to finally learn how to drive! I need to come up with a regular schedule for my blog and make a list of some ideas for future posts. (If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to leave a comment, I would love to hear what you would like me to post). So, over the next couple of weeks I will be organising myself and my life.

However, today is going to be a lazy day as I cannot concentrate for too long before my eyelids start to slowly shut down. Therefore, this post is going to be quick and easy!

Recently, I have seen many YouTubers and bloggers posting "The British Tag!" and as a fellow Brit myself, I thought I would join in the trend. I have also down a TMI Tag which you can see here if you would like to learn more about me.

1) How many cups of tea do you have a day and how many sugars?

I have one cup of tea every morning to wake me up and prepare me for the rest of the day. I can get very grumpy if I don't have my morning cuppa! Another cup around late morning. One at lunch. One at late afternoon and one in the evening after my dinner. In total, I have five cups of tea. However, this can vary depending on the seasons as I will have more tea during the winter in order to warm myself up and less in the summer. Also, I drink a lot of tea to get me through exam season and revision. I do not have any sugars in my tea as I think it tastes disgusting.

2) Favourite part of your roast?

My favourite part of my roast dinner are the roast potatoes (crispy, of course!), gravy (mmmmmmm!!!) and Yorkshire Pudding (yum!).

3) Favourite dunking biscuit?

I tend to go through different stages of eating biscuits with my tea. But, my favourite dunking biscuit would probably have to be a Custard Cream.

4) Favourite quintessentially British pastime?

My favourite British pastime is going down to Swanage with my family. Sitting on the beach, hearing the waves, smelling the sea salt, eating fish & chips (obvious, that is the most British thing!) Also, Swanage do the best fish & chips ever. Then, finishing the day off with wasting my money in the arcade on stupid 2p machines and eating proper vanilla ice cream.

5) Favourite word?

I really like the word "giggle" for some reason, I have no idea why, but I just like the sound of it. I also really like the word "mango", even though I don't eat mangoes. Weird.

6) Cockney slang rhyme?

I actually don't know any except "up the apples and pears" which is stairs, but I think everybody knows that one.

7) Favourite sweet?

My favourite sweet by far has to be Cherry Drops. I absolutely love them! They are the best sweets ever! But, they don't sell them in most shops, so when I do eventually find them I end up buying quite a few packets. Other sweets I like are the Haribo Fangtastics, Flying Saucers, Lips & Teeth, Strawberry Laces etc.

8) What would your pub be called?

Ummm... that's tough. The Flying Saucer. I have no idea why, it was the first thing that came into my head. Probably because of the previous question.

9) No. 1 British person?

I have no idea. Probably, Prince Harry because he is a bit of bad boy but is also adorable at the same time.

10) Favourite shop or restuarant?

Topshop. Every time I step into Topshop there is always something I can find. If I could only shop at one shop it would have to be Topshop. I really like Bill's Restaurant which is quite expensive but the food is so yummy that it is worth the money. Also Ed's Diner, which is like a old American diner, with red booths, black and white checked floor, and on each table is a little juke box machine which you can put money in and play old songs. Plus, there burgers and milkshakes are really good.

11) What British song pops into your head?

"Never Forget" - Take That

12) Marmite?

No way! I hate the smell and the taste of it so much.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post, it was a little bit different from previous posts, but I do like to mix it up once in a while. Let me know if you like these type of posts and if you would like to see more.
