vinegar crips mint sauce All your food stuff, really. If you think that's weird, try Dutch food.
the way that as Brits we love a good moan about everything.
Probably why the not so great about Britain thread is longer....
And Guitarists...I LOVE my Guitarists(All the ones I know personally are British.)
New Order Pink Floyd The Who David Bowie
Vivien Leigh Laurence Olivier Colin Firth Hugh Grant
English Comedies London Bourton on the Water Chester Llangollen, Wales Edinburgh Red Leicester cheese English pork sausages Mr Kiplings french fancies My mother-in-law Double decker buses Brandy and baby cham Summer creams Tablet (type of fudge)
The inevitable huge long list of bands starting with the obvious (fill it in for yourself).
The sense of humour
The cynicism and pragmatism and absence of enthusiasm for crackpot ideologies like fascism and stalinism
The justified disrespect with which we treat our intellectuals, unlike the French who treat them with undeserved respect and so just encourage them to embrace ideologies like those above.
Our standing up to nazism and fascism when it counted.
The fact that despite the best efforts of the current and previous government there's little corruption in public life, unlike much of Europe.
Likewise despite the best efforts of Blair there's still some residue respect for individual liberty, more so than in some parts of Europe.
The fact that we don't pretend that social class doesn't exist, nor kid ourselves that there's more social mobility than there actually is, unlike the US.
Not taking the Eurovision song contest seriously.
