[CP] What it is to be British

Day 3,143, 05:50 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by 10 Downing Street

Oh, hello there. Fancy meeting you here. Fancy a cup of tea?

I was planning to pen one of my regular Presidential Updates. But, frankly, there are more pressing matters to which I must attend.

The past five days have been a little … peculiar. Firstly there was a certain amount of kerfuffle surrounding our membership (or lack thereof) of the European Union. Then, yesterday eve, our association soccer chaps had a little slip-up against some excitable-looking Icelandic fellows. You’ll now find them on the Orient Express heading back to Blighty, along with strange brazen-haired people from Ireland and Northern Ireland (but not, it seems, Wales).

A very rum do indeed.

And eRepublik has offered little in the way of comfort or solace. Events here have taken a turn for the strange as well. It’s all very testing. Very testing indeed.

So it’s at times like these we need to pull ourselves together, stand shoulder-to-shoulder (but not too close, obviously) and remember that we are British, and therefore immune to the kind of hot-blooded perturbation that may afflict those from … ssshh … foreign lands.


Confusing


So, without further ado, I would like to take this opportunity to announce a little contest.

The rules (and by Jove there must be rules) are pleasingly simple. After all, this contest is open to both Brits and those less fortunate than ourselves. Simply send in the most British thing you can possibly think of in whatever format pleases you. I imagine most entries will take the form of hyperlinks, but the method is yours to choose.

I may even reward those entries I find the most acceptable. Extra points will quite possibly be awarded to those entries that reference God's own game (cricket).

So that’s all there is to it. As the fun is all in the participation, the following is an example of something very very British indeed…

This is a paid advert. It cost five gold, which has gone to the country accounts. If you would like to help lower the tone of 10 Downing Street and turn it into a tawdry rag advertise here, send the five gold and a link to an image no larger than 600px wide by 250px high. You advert will appear in one CP article. Editorial standards apply (although, frankly, they’re not set very high) and the CP (i.e. me) reserves the right to laugh at you and refuse to show your advert. I’ll give you your money back though - nobody likes a CP who nicks monies.
