Why do most British people think they can have their cake and eat it too.? |
Travel Info for people not familar with this saying it means to want more than one can handle or deserve, or to try to have two incompatible things. at least this has been my experience in dealing with the british bird Travel Tips And just what is the point of having your cake if you are not going to eat it! Edit Saying that most British think that way is as much of a generalisation as someone saying that most Americans are obese, gas guzzling, war mongering loonies who all enjoy killing for sport... The population of this world of ours is made up of all different types of people, and there are many who are quite happy to take, take, take, believe me, I too have met a few of those, and at one time even considered some as friends...until the penny dropped. Thankfully though these people are balanced out by those who are the complete opposite and would do anything to help another without any thought of a reward. Others everybody likes cake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,get it Actually, they think you can EAT your cake and HAVE it, too... Actually, annyone can have their cake and eat it too. In fact, it would be impossible to eat one's cake were one not to have it first. Now, to eat one's cake and have it too is, indeed, impossible, but since (as you propose) the British prefer to have their cake and then eat it, I see no problem with the proposition and/or behavior. Also, I frequently try to have two incompatible things at the same time. I like to have cold drink and warm food, for instance, though these two things would make a tepid mess if combined. And I suppose that is the answer to your question: the British are good at keeping their things compartmentalized. While they may want more than they deserve (and who doesn't?), they are able to keep their cats and their birds apart. Cheers. How so? Elaborate please. |
