Daily Express | UK News :: Britons swap cake for curry as our traditions die out.
We do try to stick to a Sunday Roast (81% do) and try to have Fish’n'Chips once a week (21% do)… to be honest I was part of the 95% who didn’t know what ‘Sunday Best’ meant… I remember playing Hopscotch etc when I was in infants school… as for conkers I didnt play with them but I knew of people who did in high school….
I do keep a diary, well, it’s kept online (well, you’re reading it) which I think a lot of people are turning to nowadays… also to add to the stats: More than half still take British seaside holidays, 47% watch pantomines, 39% celebrate Bonfire Night.
I think the article is very right saying the traditions are going to change, social networking sites, weekly curries and Sunday Shopping are definitely the ‘in’.
hmmm, interesting topic, I am more than sceptical of a lot of these surveys and wonder where on earth they get the figures from, or maybe I’m just different to a lot of people, although I do agree that traditions are going to change, and I hope for the better. Busy-ness and consumerism whilst they are not necessarily wrong have certainly contributed to a lack of happiness and family values in today’s society.
I have had about five Sunday roasts in the last two years and I am not a big fan of fish ‘n’ chips really, as for more than half taking British seaside holidays, I find that a bit hard to believe, most people I’m sure would rather take holidays abroad in the sun, and I’m joining that club this year going to France next weekend.
