British in more ways than one? Goodness me! (6)

I believe the answer is:

blimey

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'british in more ways than' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one? goodness me' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one?' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is located in the answer.
'me' could be 'i' and 'i' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bly' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blimey that I've seen before include "My word!" , "Surprised expression" , "Good gracious me!" , "well!" , "Oath" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
