Football on the weekend, our comedy and two pies, double mash with loads of liqour. :D
Hell yeah, proper pie and mash.

Good natured complaining.

Casual swearing which is almost part of the dialect where I live.

Eccentricity which we seem strangely proud of.


And Robert Rankin.

Oscar Wilde, the Longbow, the Spitfire, Thin Lizzy (even though Scott Gorham is American), yorkshire pudding and Laney amps. British and awesome.

Fish and Chips. Don't know if they're as good or better than here, but they're damn good down here in Australia.

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.
And I'll top that off with the fact that I'm wearing a bowler hat, it's new, but not a crappy, plastic-y fake.

Stephen fry and how people react when they hear your accent on on-line games.

it's the accent
no I'm serious I love the way you people talk
everything is better when you say it in a British accent

my least favorite thing about Brittan is America...
I hate to say it but you dropped the ball on that one guys
I would love to know what the world would be like if we still had our Empire.

No one else has mentioned the ale! If there's one thing our cruddy country does well it's that... and crappy politicians...

I have my Great Great Grandfather's old top hat in the room next to mine; it's a good 150 or so years old!

I love my hat.

I'm Norwegian, but I really want to move to either England or Scotland at a time.
My favourite British thing is either Jeremy Clarkson, [USER]lewism247[/USER], Scottish accents, Aston Martin or British comedy.
