british culture Mug
This article refers to English subculture. Virtually nobody in England refers to the country as Britain, but for some reason, most Americans do, so hopefully this title will help the Americans among us find what they're looking for. It's a worldwide misconception that English culture revolves heavily around Tea, bowler hats, walking canes, deducing things and saying little idioms like "spiffing!" and "tally-ho old chap!". This is infact, not the case. Sadly, Britain is becoming more and more like America every day, due to the majority of television shows being aired coming from the USA. Yes we drink Tea, but we also drink as much, if not more coffee. you will never hear anybody say "spiffing!" or some similar phrase except if they are the living dead from the 1900's, or being sarcastic. I've lived in England all my life, and i've never seen a single Bowler hat except at fancy dress parties We do, however, have a thriving youth subculture. England's Answer to the American Gangsta is the Chav, who think they're solid as rock, when infact the word is a business term derived from "Chelmsford Average". It was originally used to describe a typical resident of the English area of Chelmsford. These people had relatively low paid jobs, but spent almost everything they earnt on very distasteful items, and were seen dripping with gold, much like a gypsy. so to conclude, British culture is prety much the same as American culture, but (usually) with less arrogance, attitude or the belief that we own the world. Thank you America, your pollution haunts us all.

I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen

wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
Thank you for the mug. It arrived fast and exceeded my expectations.
