My advice, bar the obvious morally correct advice others have given:

  • Talk about the weather too much. If you live in LA this may be hard to vary the conversation but if you are wanting to be truly British then you need to talk about the weather. Preferably wish for colder weather when it is hot and vice versa.
  • Ensure you queue up correctly. A queue is a line in your terms. Never call it a line if you are British. A British person knows the exact order of who arrived at a queue (whether an actual 'line' like a bus stop or an informal queue like a bar). Never disobey the order. If someone jumps in front of you then you should be planning revenge.
  • Recognise these accents (there is no such thing as a normal British accent): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dABo_DCIdpM
  • Consider purchasing this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-be-British-Collection/dp/0952287013
  • Argue about the definition of dinner and tea.
  • Know how to make a good fry up.

    Please let us know how this goes. Maybe over tea sometime.

    EDIT: To remain convincing you should also be out of bed by now. :)

That sounds glorious, and I feel like I need to get this book for her. And yeah, I can imagine it'll throw you off-kilter a bit, but they do blend pretty well

Edit: Is it this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-be-British-Collection/dp/0952287013/ref=sr_1_2/280-8945991-2670000?ie=UTF8&qid=1449418516&sr=8-2&keywords=how+to+be+british
