Your Favourite British Thing(s).

[jigilojoe]

The complete and utter hate for everything and anyone who isn't or in fact is British, music here's probably been the most (consistently) great music of any country in the world and the humour and the drinking culture.

Also, the Italian Job, in fact fuck it, Michael Cain and mini's deserve their own sections.

 

[BlastedTheWorm]

David Tennant

Also Top Gear

He's Scottish, You pillock.

That's my example, British humour, the best in the world. Oh,and the British Language(Yes you fucking Escapist Spellchecker, that is how you spell humour!!")

Scotland is part of Britain.

[Andrewd96]

Everything about Newcastle and the inbetweeners

 

[Reg5879]

Football on the weekend, our comedy and two pies, double mash with loads of liqour.

 

[justnotcricket]

Your murder mystery writers and shows. =) Agatha Christie, Midsomer Murders...

Also, I agree with the comedy - in both original and TV-adapted forms - cf P. G. Wodehouse + Fry and Laurie = best thing EVAR. =) Even better than Python, IMO.

 

[Dango]

For me it's probably Top Gear.

HELLOOOO ESCAAAPIST, how're you all doing this fine Friday?

Now, I'm British myself, and I'm very intrigued with other peoples thoughts and feelings on all things British. I'm proud, what can I say.

So, what is your favourite thing to come from Blighty? And if you're British yourself, what is it you're most proud of? Or heck, maybe we're totally useless?

Let me know, I'm interested:].

Personally, I'm most proud of our Comedy:'].

Note: Just before we start, make sure you take peoples feelings into consideration. Cracking jokes is all well and good, but just, try keep the trollin' to a minimum okay. Let's gooo!

This might win the thread if there was a competition, then again it might not. But the one thing I love about the British is meat pies and....

[Jedoro]

Favorite thing(s) to come from Britain? America's founding fathers.

 

[Hazzaslagga]

I really hate our sarcasm...

see what I did there

 

[Jaime_Wolf]

Where to begin?

Eddie Izzard, Hugh Laurie, the Beatles, the accents, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, the spelling, Monty Python for starters.

But not the tea. British people have an appropriate love of tea, but the stereotypically British teas are the worst teas. Also not the people who realize that good British humor is excellent and then think that because they're British their humor must be good. You're not funny, please go away.

EDIT: Ahh, someone else has picked you up on it and you seem to say that because he's not English he's not British... I'm afraid I don't understand, Wales are the ones to bully, we want the Scots on our side in the coming war with Wales, they're scary as fuck.
