Your favourite thing about the UK?

[TOGSolid]

The fact that the UK's government these days makes the US look good in comparison. Mmmm police states.

1: The girl I'm helplessly in love with is English and lives there
2: Perhaps my favourite country in terms of medieval history, mostly because I'm a sucker for Medieval Europe...

 

[Mockingjay]

I'm English, but I hate this country.

The people are good though =D

 

[Kinguendo]

Did I hear something about Tea? I'll put the kettle on... Twinnings, Tetley, Yorkshire or PG?

 

[Kinguendo]

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 like the face that your country has created a list of people who cannot enter the UK. That is a good thing to have. Also, the people in the UK seems to be very cultured and respectful of everyone else.

The more intelligent of us are, yes. But you wouldn't believe the amount of people who seem so intelligent and sensible that'll comment about "bloody pakis". Ah, god, there's very few phrases that can make me cringe, and that's one of them.

Excuse my stupidity but what is a Pakis? I live in the usa.

Its better to not know, "Paki" is a racial slur used by intollerent and frightened morons against people from Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, etc. If you are ever here in Britain and you hear someone start a sentence with "I am not racist, but..." just zone out and stop listening, its better not to enable these people... remove their crowd, remove their voice, remove their ingnorance.

The fact I was born there.

North Yorkshire in general, I love it.

The fact that warhammer was created in the uk by a bunch of students with nought else to do.

Thats it for now.

Only the things that I've heard which would be filed under steriotyping.

Everything. We win.

Thread closed.

Tea anybody?

Got any Earl Grey?

Us British have the best of a hell of a lot of things. We have the best comedians, the best music, the best food, the best accents, the best beverage, and the best films.

I'm not exaggerating either.

 

[Motti]

The fact that they found my country (the several others they also found, invaded and raped don't count). That and Doctor Who.

But are you joking? Best food?!?

We probably have a better selection of Indian resturaunts than... India, but British food is actually very weak IMO.

 

[SamB2604]

My favorite thing about the UK? Simply. . .'eccentrics'.

No one loves their local eccentrics like the British!

 

[El Poncho]

Considering the asshats you have been around the whole Icesave dispute (Yes, i am Icelandic) i have very little good to say about England right now.

Well besides Little Britain, i love that show!

It's Not england it's UK.

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!

AND the tv

 

[Overlord_Dave]

It's where my bed is.

 

[Mister Ash]

Depature Lounge at Heathrow...



just kidding...

[goatzilla8463]

They aren't flag waving dicks.

 

[El Poncho]

They call chips "crisps". -has a giggle attack-

Spaced.

The greatest TV sitcom ever made.

Also, this. And Black Books. And Ross Noble. And Inspector Frost. And Bill Bailey.

I think that's it.

Since we are British and we invented the language ( england i must admit ofc)
you are the ones in the wrong calling crisps -chips- since chips are food that go with fish:|

 

[Legion]

I'm not Patriotic.

I like a lot of our writers and comedians, but because of their content not their nationality.

The same goes for the language and the accent, it's not a pride factor.

I'm English, but I hate this country.

The people are good though =D

The People of a Country make it what it is.
