Your Favourite British Thing(s).

[templeg]

Also, NOT TEA. I'm the only Britisher I know who can't stand tea but you practically get egged if you admit it, it probably classifies as an act of treason or something.
P.S. I know tea probably isn't originally from Blighty (don't know where it originated, don't care) but it is kind of our thing.

[Sonicron]

I'll go with the Black Library.

 

[The Rainmaker]

You Me at Six

 

[ChippedShoulder]

David Tenant, the greatest stage actor of his generation. Our comedy, our accents and curry. Gotta love curry.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

My bf [: he's british and amazing~<3

 

[MetaManProductions]

Not sure if this has been said, but Wallace and Gromit among many many things. But those two above all else :B

 

[moose_man]

King Arthur. In fact, I wrote a book about him. Also: Goddamn Monty Python.






No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

 

[Falseprophet]

The music, comedy, writers and beer have already been rightly noted.

So I'll add, the London Tube. Possibly the best mass transit system I've ever had the pleasure to ride. A week after coming back from England, I had to ride the Toronto subway and almost pulled my hair out in frustration at its slow speed and lack of lines.

The Internet (look it up)

You mean the World Wide Web. The Internet was invented as a project of the US military.

 

[teebeeohh]

cctv
and irony

 

[MikhailGH]

The accent.

The Comedy.

Top Gear.

 

[spwatkins]

Many TV comedies (Monty Python, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, etc).
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Old Speckled Hen

 

[Kingjackl]

Definately their self-deprecating sense of humour. Makes them capable of producing some of the funniest comedians and TV around (Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, etc.) but it also makes them easy to mock. And as an Australian, I appreciate that.

 

[Agent Cross]

My drinking buddy. We have lots of laughs at our differences, all in good fun. I live in Texas, and do not have much of a southern accent. However, some of my friends do, and when his mates come to visit, it is absolutely halarious to watch communication break down due to alcohol. Ahhh... * wipes tear from eye* Good times.

 

[Chewster]

I'm from Canada, and I'd say comedic television ranks pretty high. I mean, I've yet to see a funnier show than Fawlty Towers anywhere.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Keith Moon. Also the word Silly.

Thank you.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Top Gear.
definitely the best show I've ever seen, and I'm American. In fact, seeing the American Top Gear makes me ashamed of it.
