Muy, pero muy británico…

richard hammond and jeremy clarkson

Two fine examples of the modern British male

Ricardo (he who is teaching me photographing things an’ such) likes Top Gear, nothing wrong with that, I enjoy a bit of TG too, despite the presence of the muppet, Clarkson. We were chatting the other day (Ricardo and me, not Clarkson) and after Ricardo had said something I made the ‘well, there you are then’ gesture, a combined sideways nod, lip compress and vague wave of the hand… hard to describe but well, there you go… (see I just did it then, gah!).

At that moment Ricardo exclaimed “eres muy pero muy británico” (you’re very very British). He’d seen them doing that gesture on Top Gear, and presumably other british shows too and apparently it’s rather British. I’d never even thought of it that way before.

Now I’m wondering what other gestures are muy británico…
