Your favourite thing about the UK?

[Sparrow]

Now. This may seem a bit of a weird question, especially comming from someone who is English too as it may seem quite vain, but I recently realised that quite alot of people, many of whom are American, freaking love the UK.

For instance, my Spanish friend's favourite thing about the UK, is that we can all take a joke. Which I'd have to agree with.

It can be anything, from accents to brown coloured beverages.

Oh, and just to throw this out there: Don't flame.

I'm English, and I have absolutely new patriotic visions to this country at all. All I can say is the people... wait no they're crap too... My girlfriend then.

And well She has a French name. Chloé.

Cycling!

The UK does mountain biking in a way that no one else in the world does, it never gets old to hear people from the alps proclaim the UK to have no riding, the introduce them to Norh Yorkshire...

Also, we make Fish and Chips.

Ingenuity.

We have quite a few inventions to our name for such a small nation. We've got claims to the first computer, pencil, radio, sewing machine, police, DNA fingerprinting, ping pong, a vaccine for smallpox, stun grenades, the bicycle, rugby, laws of gravity, hovercraft, football, plastic, fizzy drink and viaggra amongst other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_inventions

We started the industrial revolution - that's got to count for something!

I like England, I have lived here most of my life but to be honest I don't think anything good can out weigh the chance of being stabbed to death by thirty 13 year olds. Other than being able to buy top shelf magazines under age

We basically built the world as it is today about 4 times.

WIN!!!!

This, plus the fact that throughout history England has been an extremely popular place to invade. That makes for interesting history lessons.
