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)
