LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is a nation of tea-loving soap opera fans who value privacy, love their pets, gripe about the weather, refuse to admit they like reality TV and are most proud of their sense of humor. They also consider themselves hip and cosmopolitan but their habits are traditional, and prawn cocktail and steak and chips are their favorite meals, according to a nationwide survey of what it means to be British in 2003. Other revelations: Britons generally don't mind queuing and can be spotted abroad by their sunburned skin, football shirts, wearing socks with sandals and the distinctive pint of beer in their hand. They are happy to give people 50 pence at a bus stop but very few go around to meet their neighbors. 53% of Britons treat their pets like a member of the family; 39% think the weather is the most annoying aspect of living in Britain and 73% drink traditional tea, as opposed to Earl Gray.
