British way of life....

Today I read in the newspapers on a poll conducted by the BBC whether the majority of British people think multiculturalism makes the country a better place.
The poll results were 32% think it threatens " British way of life " and 54% think parts of the country doesn't feel like Britain anymore because of immigration.

I thought to myself what is " the British way of life "?? Some might describe the British way of life constitute two main things...drinking and football.

At my workplace, a typical Friday night would be everyone heads down the pub to chill out after a long working week. My colleagues would often find any excuse for a celebration down the pub...i.e. promotions or leaving drinks ke...
As someone who does not drink, this is not my ideal way to spend my Friday night but as part of working life you have to show your face once in a while to one of these leaving drinks.

Other people may disagree and believe British life is not all about drinking and football. During my time in UK, I have met different types of people here. Not everyone enjoys watching football in the pubs all the time. I know a few British guys who are not interested in football or would only watch the World Cup or Champions League. There are some friends of mine who would rather go for a nice enjoyable dinner with a few friends rather than being in a smoky pub and getting wasted!

I think we can't stereotype a British way of life..it is diverse and unique.
An example of such diversity can be described even in the food as Chicken Tikka Massala has been voted as Britain's favourite dish. How ironic is that??!
