YOU'RE A NATIVE WHEN....

Most Americans may not be familiar with these things however, if you live here and find yourself getting into any of the things listed below, you know you're becoming a native!

* Sandwiches with butter on them fillings such as chicken & sweetcorn, cheese & onion or brie & grape.

* Tea with milk.

* Referral to wheat bread as 'brown' bread.

* Asking for a 'white' coffee, rather than coffee with cream.

* Having alcoholic beverages at lunch on a workday!

* You have to ask for ice in your drink.

* Referral to garbage as 'rubbish'.

* Petrol...it's the same as gas, right? Or is it?

* Use of both knife and fork. It really is a pretty civilized way to eat!

* Writing the day before the month no longer seems a bizarre thing.

* Adopting the national all out free-for-all attitude when grocery shopping and the fact that it's never easy to get into or out of a store due to bizarre limited entrance/exits in UK stores. (Source: American Expats)
