I have been working in a professional capacity in the UK for 8 years.
I STILL had to prove that I could speak English during the naturalisation process. The actually made me jump through hoops.
I was then most peeved that when I was at my citizenship ceromony , the master of ceromonies, upon observation of a person who could clearly not understand English, who was there to gain British citizenship, offered her the services of an interperetor for the remainder of the ceromony.
WTF

Well, my favorite meal is Chicken tikka masala but I like nothing more than to go out on a Friday night and down eight pints of lager, followed up with a kebab on the way home.
You don't get any more British than that.

I have a Norman surname and a coat of arms to go with it, so I'd say I was pretty much as British as you can get nowadays.
