    The 7 Sins Of England

    Apparently they are as follows:

    Binge Drinking
    Vodka and Red Bull isn't such a new invention, the first law to control English binge drinking was passed in 616AD. Apparently the Brits got plastered the night before the battle of Hastings while the Normans sipped wine with their meal.

    Consumerism
    Buying stuff for the sake of it

    Hooliganism
    Not sure why this deserves it's own sin...

    Slagishness
    In 1657 English women were known as the worst in the world. Apparently our love of dancing leads to whoreishness.

    Rudeness

    'Nobody likes us but we don't care.'

    Violence
    Comment from the Frenchies in 1749: 'Anything that looks like fighting is delicious to the Englishman.' The art of boxing and spilling someone's pint are duly glorified.

    Bigotry
    In 1593 it was the Dutch, in 1891 the Jews, we've always moaned about refugees stealing our jobs.


    Everyone/anyone agree?

              I love dancing but watching WASPs dance is like watching a kangaroo box or a cat use a typewriter.

                        I'll give you that. I prefer a good tango or merengue and I'm not a big fan of pacifiers and glow sticks. Besides, I have no desire to go narco.
