Queuing

Nah, we’re getting terrible at this. We’re only good at queuing if we a) don’t have kids, b) aren’t kids, c) aren’t old, d) aren’t rich, and e) haven’t spent much time abroad and realised the futility of it all.

 

[Goldstone Guy]

Music
Inventing sports

 

[timbha]

Talking about the weather and saying how good this country is for a holiday if you could rely on the weather (note: we DO have the weather).

 

[dazzer6666]

Afternoon tea
Sparkling wine
Fish and chips
Pageantry
Cheese
Savoury pies and pastries (and gravy)

 

[banjo]

Don’t forget pot holes. We’re really good at those.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Right wing media. (From the perspective of their billionaire, non-dom or foreign owners who get to profoundly influence government policy).

 

[Mellotron]

Music.

 

[Mackenzie]

Cheese

 

[The Clamp]

I would have once said the appreciation and protection of our countryside but now we pump untreated turds into our waterways, fly-tip, and plough through ancient woodland for abandoned rail projects.

And we seem to accept this destruction with a flacid whimper.

 

[Commander]

Food generally. Far superior to anywhere I’ve been for the sheer variety of it.
Talking about the weather.
Thinking we are the best in the world at something while not bothering to ever look at the equivalent anywhere else.
Hosting sport.
Music.
Pageantry.

Basically absolutely loads. I moan about the UK a lot, but there is still nowhere else I would rather live on a permanent basis.
