British Isles

The British Isles are an archipelago of islands off North-Western Europe. The two largest islands are Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain consists of three countries: England, Wales and Scotland. Ireland consists of two countries: Northern ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Great Britain together with Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK).
Many people mistake England for an island, which is because of the extensive use of English as a vernacular across the island of Great Britain (although Welsh and Gaelic are also used a lot). England is just one of the countries of Great Britain, if one is to call it a country, as it does not have its own government (unlike Scotland and Wales). Britain and England are not interchangeable, despite England having the UK capital.

The British Isles has five different countries.
England is not one of the islands of the British Isles!

british beef

Namely TVR, seeing as the rest of the world has bought our beloved motor industry, it being the greatest in the world. Despite their reputation for uneconomical sports cars which are a touch unreliable, they produced the cerbera speed 12, capable of 240mph. I believe that rapes everything American, and anything french.

''Oh hell no son, my dinosaur V8 was ripped to pieces by that Silver flash that went by, it must have been a TVR''

''Ve are ze french, ve vill stick to our renault 5, no? va va voom thierry henry you talentless git''

british airways

An airline that has absolutely no notion of how to deliver minimum customer expectations, but will shamelessly take their money through grossly overinflated and uncompetitive fares.

An airline staffed entirely by unyielding, militant unionists and sour, humourless battleaxes, who- despite being more than reasonably paid- would rather drive their employers into the ground than do an honest day’s work.

An airline that erroneously claims to the be the β€˜world’s favourite’, but is actually the most reviled, useless, unreliable, staid and crap carrier in the Western World.

An airline that symbolises very prodigiously everything that has gone wrong with the country whose flag it flies.

'I'd love to see you and and the kids over Christmas, but I could only get a ticket with British Airways'.

Why would anyone fly British Airways these days?

I spent five days sleeping on the floor of Heathrow because of strikes by British Airways

Virgin Atlantic is so much better than British Airways

British Airways has given us no information, so we still don't know if we'll fly today

British Goodbye

When somebody says goodbye, but doesn't leave. The opposite of an Irish Goodbye.

Theresa gave us a British goodbye - we found her still sitting in the foyer hours later.

Going British

Driving on the left side of an American road.

Regardless of reason, explaining to the officer that you were "going British" ought to be plausible justification.

Also see "Going Scottish"

Oh nice bro, there aren't any red lights on this side. We'll use it. If anyone asks, were 'going British.'
