4 in 10 Brits think getting drunk abroad is a British characteristic
April 23rd, 2011 - 5:38 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 23 (ANI): Twenty-eight percent of people in the UK believe that getting drunk abroad is a British attribute, a new survey has revealed.
The Opinium Research, which surveyed 2,012 British adults, also found that 60 percent of them thought drinking tea was a British trait, while less than one in three people thought that working hard makes people British, the Daily Mirror reports.
Besides, 32 percent of people think supporting the Royal Family is a British characteristic.
Despite not knowing England’s saint’s day, 61 percent of English people described themselves as English rather than British, the paper said.
James Endersby, managing director of Opinium Research, said: “Our research has revealed that it’s hard to pin down what it means to be British. With several stereotypical attributes making the list as well as wider personality traits, it goes to show that Britishness is a complex mix of characteristics.”
The survey also revealed that one in five adults would like an extra bank holiday to celebrate being British. (ANI)
