I do have these moments when I'm writing something - usually something horse related, as it doesn't strike me otherwise - when I'll put in a particular turn of phrase or expression or reference and pause and think to myself:
"God, I'm just so fucking English."
And we love you all the more for it.
😎👌
You say it like it's a bad thing.

More with a self-aware chuckle and a wry smile.
And a SIP OF BLOODY TEA, I SAY, WHAT.
Excuse me, old chap. Get on my level.

I'm just so fucking English is a term of endearment in my books. I love the Britishisms and overall sense of cultured yet giving very few fucks your works give off. When a reader clicks on your writes, it is very obviously you. The tone you set is a delight to settle into with each new story.
My 'home' community, an IRC channel I've been in since I was 14, more than half my life ago, is heavily pan-anglosphere. We have been inoculated not only with the standard, 101-levels of Brit-com that come standard with one's Nerd Card, but also more advanced classes--your Absolute Power, your Believe Nothing, your endless selection of good old Panel Shows. Plus of course any amount of suitable literature.
All this is to say that yes, you are very English indeed and it's very... cozy, I suppose.

I do give a remarkably small amount of fucks...
And oh! A delight! You'll make me blush!

Yeah but did you see the Desert Island Discs line? Now that's a deep cut!
