True Brit

We are very pleased to meet you. If you are a visitor to our blog, we expect you to go through all the sections and find out how to be a true British. We are going to show you the unspoilt beauty of British landscape; the rich variety of its weather and the British cherished traditions: afternoon tea at four, roast beef on Sunday, and warm beer until 11 pm and, of course, their courtesy, tolerance and sense of humour. You mustn't forget that. They do like a good laugh.

Have a look on the images above and learn about the British personality.
