You've Been Here Too Long When...

• You've come to accept that from the moment you wake up in the morning it's quite unlikely that you're going to see the sun
• You have learned the difference between pasty and pastry
• You say "cheers mate" more than twice a day, and "sorry" at least five times a day
• You realize the most important religion is not Christianity but Rugby
• You don't even notice it's raining anymore
• ...But you keep thinking that the car you just saw was driven by nobody 
• It seems perfectly natural that to wash your hands, you must either boil your hands in 90º water (from the hot tap) or ice them in the cold tap. 
• Blowing your nose loudly and burping in the library is something normal
• You have finally come to realize that no matter how weird your clothes are, people just won't care
• You 'hoover' your rugs.
• You're convinced that tea is a food group
• You find yourself discussing what brand of baked beans is the best, and that doesn't scare you
• You expect all four seasons in one day
• You are no longer caught off guard by shop attendants asking "you alright?" out of the blue
• You've been asked for a "light" by a 9 year old
• You've given in to silently enduring the agony of waiting patiently in the ubiquitous English queue
• You are addressed as "my lovie, star, diamond, treacle, sugarplumb, honey, darling, sweetheart", and other nicknames your parents use for each other
• You have been addressed as "young squire" 
• You reflexively reach to pull a string to turn on the light or get water from the shower
