THE 10 MOST BRITISH SENTENCES EVER UTTERED
Today, I discovered the following video by YouTube user TopTenz. It runs through what are, in their opinion, the most stereotypically British sentences ever uttered by public figures:
The video explains the context of each sentence; however, if you haven't got time to watch the full video, here are the sentences in isolation:
10. "Get up George, you're embarrassing me" - Margaret Thatcher
9. "Chatfield, there seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today" - Admiral David Beatty
8. "I can't wear beige because nobody would know who I am" - Queen Elizabeth II
7. "We had a rather serious evening, you know" - Cosmo Duff-Gordon
6. "By God, Sir, I've lost my leg!" - Lord Uxbridge
5. "By God, Sir, so you have!" - Duke of Wellington (in response to #6 )
4. "We are still open for business - more than usual" - Sign on stores that had been hit by bombs during the Blitz
3. "I told you I was ill" - Proposed epitaph for Spike Milligan's tombstone
2. "Always look on the bright side of life" - Most popular song at British funerals
1. "We have enough time to finish the game and win" - Sir Francis Drake
So, anyone else got any that rival those ?
