Confessions re: my British-ness

1) I have never been to London, though my dad was born there.
2) If I didn't know which answer was more British, I picked the one that seemed least American.
3) Fireworks happen in neither the spring nor the fall. (Use of the word "fall" in relation to a season should bring my score down.) Fireworks happen on the soggiest weekend in May. If it rains on the Sunday, the fireworks are put off until the Monday. If it rains on the Monday too, you've had a normal Victoria Day weekend.
4) They forgot to ask about neighbour, harbour, and programme. I spell two out of three of those the way I just did. Any guesses as to which one I spell the American way?
5) I would never in a million years retire to the West Coast of the U.S. Too many earthquakes. I'm happy right where I am.
