How I Love Being British

.
Brits driving Austrians bonkers over rude village name


British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly-named village.
While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of F---ing are failing to see the funny side, The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported.
Only one kind of criminal ever stalks the sleepy 32-house village near Salzburg on the German border -- cheeky British tourists armed with a sense of humour and a screwdriver.

But the local authorities are hitting back and with the signs now set in concrete, police chief Kommandant Schmidt-berger is on the lookout.

"We will not stand for the Fu--ing signs being removed," the officer told the broadsheet.

"It may be very amusing for you British, but F---ing is simply F---ing to us. What is this big F---ing joke? It is puerile."

Local guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with F---ing.

"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," and eat sausage he explained.

"Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg)and eating hamburgers. The occasional Japanese wants to see Hitler's birthplace in Braunau.

But for the British, it's all about F---ing."

Guest-house boss Augustina Lindlbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas.

Yet still there is this obsession with F---ing," she said.
Just this morning I had to tell an English lady who stopped by, that there were no F---ing postcards.

My notes.
I Wonder if the people from F---ing are called F---ckers?,This is a F---ing true story I'd like to get to F---ing on holiday,see its true we Brits are
obsessed with f---ing.

I thought the Welsh and the Scottish were only 'British' when they won their tennis game Peter.
