Your Favourite British Thing(s).

[Count Igor]

Top Hats.
As a matter of fact, I'm wearing one now. Not a fake, plastic-y, new one, but a really old one, at least 100 years old. Probably more.

I am with you Top Hats are just plain awesome. Together with a monocle you will look awesome.

I was thinking about getting one contact lens and a monocle, so it actually works. What do you think?

Something I would miss if I went to one of many other countries that don't do it (or don't do it well) is cider. Can't beat a nice pint of good Herefordshire cider.

I rarely leave the country without my top hat, in its absence airport security is just so mundane...

 

[Rainboq]

Yahtzee, Monty Python, Stephen Fry, BBC comedy and the Beatles.

the Chinese food, now this may sound weird, but having tried Chinese food from all over the world (or well, one place in Florida, a couple places all over Europe and a shitton of places in china) the Chinese chefs living in England just kick everyone else's ass, now since that may not count a second option would the English language, i may butcher it but i still love it, the sentence structure is superior to Danish in every way, and its allot more formal yet colourful, the reason why its not the best thing is because its sneaking into Danish, and using random English words in the middle of a Danish sentence sounds so stupid i have to slap people who do it, and its staring to hurt my wrist.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Branston Pickle (and that's a reference to my old economics teacher, as well as ZP)

And (only Brits will get this, I think) the unique situation in which the most hated Tory at the moment is a LibDem!! LOL

 

[Wadders]

Fish and Chips. With Curry sauce. Fuck yes.

Theres loads of other stuff too that I could count among my favourite British things, but thats the one that springs to mind. I do love our many vaired accents and dialects, even though some of them are truly awful to behold, I love them all the same It would be hard to list all my fave things to be honest, I love Britain, despite how shite it can be at times.

Quite a few things pique my interest about living here on the British Isles:

Vimto and other indigenous brands of soft drink and sweets

Traditional chip shops

Integrated train network and bus routes locally and nationally (although could be cheaper and
overcrowded, they help us who can't drive)

Our rich history which varies within each region and county, spanning over two thousand years from the conquest of the Roman Empire and so on afterwards

James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and other literary heroes

It's not a perfect nation but we could be worse off and I'm grateful and happy with what I have here in my small nook of Shropshire

You're from shropshire?!?!?!

ME TOO!

Sorry, but its rare to find other people from Shropshire on the internet, seeing as its such a sparsely populated county.

At the risk of being stalkerish, where abouts in Shropshire are you from?

 

[Habakkuk]

The Labour Party, Tea, The Who, Iron Maiden, The Levellers and our shear bloody mindedness.

 

[UltraDeth]

Various accents (Newcastle, London, Liverpool and Manchester) Oasis, Sausages and mashed potato, our comedy shows (Bo Selecta! Young Ones, Bottom, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python and more)

 

[Vothriller]

Monty Python, hands down. Pure and utter brilliance.

Them.
Oh and Edgar Wright. And the IT Crowd. Well, a bunch of comedies.
And punk music.

WHOA small world! No no it's fine! Um I'm just outside Bishop's Castle, down south as it were but soon to be moving into Shrewsbury soon enough!

 

[Nvv]

As a Norwegian currently studying in England I would have to say the humour and comedy. It's unmatched.
I also feel I should add that coming here has de-anglophiled me. I still like Britain, but I realise the era I idealise is long gone. Still like the accents, although I can't stand the chavy ones. Such a beautiful language and they choose to have a minimal grasp of it.

 

[CharrHawk164]

Blackadder

 

[demoman_chaos]

I like the British English, I use it everyday. Bloody 'ell, blooming thing, etc. I mix it in with my fake german and every now and then. Sometimes I add my fake Scottish accent.

Besides that, Top Gear.

 

[SimuLord]

You guys gave the world Monty Python, the phrase "bugger off", and Whose Line Is It Anyway. Now if you could only do something about your bloody awful tea, you might be worthwhile.

Small world indeed!

 

[sixtysix]

[MintyGreth]

Crumpets, top hats, and the best accent known to man

Fish and Chips, Rowan Atkinson, Brian Blessed, Stephen Fry, Doctor Who, the 80's, the 60's, top hats, cravats, The Mighty Boosh, Blackadder, The Young Ones, Batman: Arkham Asylum (HELL YEAH ITS BRITISH), old Rare games, and being associated with THE best phrase ever to grace a t-shirt:
