First thoughts about The United Kingdom

-Cheap tasty Indian curries (compared with here)
-Fish and chips
-Fries with vinagar
-Mr. Bean
-Tea with milk
-Nice pastries and pies
-Gardens (Horticultural in Kew is nice and Cornwall have some amazing ones too)
-Xenophobia
-Weird first past the post party system and weird parties. I honestly thought some UKIP party leaflets and a news program on the bbc about 'the incoming flood of Romanians' were satire...
-Class society
-David Attenborough
-Some nice TV series
-Nice nature
-Weird nationalism (with some tv shows and with food in supermarkets they put 'British' in front of almost everything to make it 'better')
-Nice hills
-Lots of hedges, which is nice until you realize that there are no foot/biking paths alongside, so some roads become death traps for pedestrians and cyclists if you insist on taking the short route, instead of plodding through farms and mud.
-Nice weather
-Puddings
-Bad chocolate
-Nice towns and churches etc.

 

ooooh, real Shepard's Pie

 

How nice it would be to have a butler and a maid with those adorable accents.

Plus, this place doesn't clean itself, and I'm too lazy!

 

I'm cheating, I know...

The London Underground
Tea
Shortbread (I could go for some of that right now)
Doctor Who
Big Ben
The Red Arrows
The Spitfire
Concorde
The Routemaster
Some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

 

The Doctor!

 

love the queen and queen. when i think of the u.k. i think darn my ancestors and their bloody boat.

 

Its rubbishhh >_< and i live here!!

Its really wet and people are really mean and judge and i dont like it >_<

 

"please" & "thank you" even when they don't mean it

 

Ditto here, although I was born in a wetter country.

 

Perfection.

Apart from the chavs , raving pikeys , Bradford , the labour party , George Galloway , republic ( the group ) , Richard Dawkins , mopeds , whining WAGs , the rainy winter , the rainy summer , The End of the Empire , everybody thinking public schools are for rich fools ( although looking at me I wouldn't be alarmed if you thought that ) The decline of the Royal Navy , and the benefit scroungers etc etc etc. Alex salmond and his stupid independence campaign , oh and an undeserved hate by everyone


I haven't got the point of this have I ?

 

I have to agree with this, and I live adjacent to Luton. Other than the weather and a few problems that first come to me, I think the UK is quite an enjoyable place, It's got its culture and things like that. Certainly not the best country by far, though. I like it.

 

-A country I'm allegedly from and should feel "pride" for despite only living there for 18 months of my life.
-Shit weather
-"Everyone should speak English" attitude even when they are abroad
-Tasteless food
-Good comedy
-Disgusting monarchy regime

 

The Challenger 2 is the main British battle tank AND it has a water boiler inside which can be used to make tea!
Well, it's in my blood, I am British and I am proud of my country! So <3 and all that!
Stephen Hawking
Plenty awesome music... just look at Iron Maiden!
Cool cars such as these
British comedy is some of the best in the world
For example... student Bingo and British PCness joke
Also see this hilarious wind up with epic Scottish accent lol
Rain, lots and lots of rain, ad infinitum
The SAS being awesome
Highly skilled pilots in the RAF during WWII
Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves!
Stiff Upper Lip
How some of the royal family get away with anything >_<
FLYING MINT BUNNY xD
And moar tea

 

Queen Elizabeth II , in case you hadn't noticed , is a constitutional monarch. She has little or no power in virtually all areas , so where you get the deluded idea that its a regime I don't know. Also , as a member of the BMS I'm slightly offended.

And the food isn't bloody tasteless.:tantrum:

 

-You guys have amazing accents (besides the Geordie one >_< ).
- I hate it when Brits tell us that "we speak English incorrectly" and that since the English language came from England, then automatically everyone there speaks it better. I beg to differ on this.
-Full of history (castles, cathedrals, homes, etc.)
-Just as bad about implementing foreign languages into school systems as we are.
-Universal health care, but super high taxes.
-Driving on the left side of the road= foreign concept to me
-Jonathan Ross is funny, but he CAN be a dickhead sometimes.
-Norton Graham is funny and awesome!!
-Your humor (no u ) is very witty and I wish we had more of it in the states. French and Saunders, Monty Python...
-I know that not everyone has an accent like they do on BBC.
-The Tube in London looks really cool and gets you to go anywhere you want to go.
-The landscape is so green!!
-Interesting slang that I personally NEVER use "ping, chirpsing, rubbish, bloody, chinwag, duckie" :lol:
