The little things that make Britain great

[Matt UK]

OK, just a bit of fun this one..

But I love coming back to the UK and using a proper 3-pin plug socket. Feels nice and weighty and sits snug and secure vs the tiny little insubstantial 2-pin efforts.

It's good to be home

[tucks]

the fact that the UK is more than 2minutes old and has any history is nice! my cob bulit farm, maybe a poorly bulit ruin...but at least its old

The supermarkets.

Supermarkets in other countries are always so different, especially France.

Go to any supermarket in France, they are always cold, stink of fish, stock placement makes little to no sense and they feel so sterile.

I agree with all your points but the food is generally tastier imo

Pubs. Much better than any other countries attempt at it.

And tea, it doesn't seem as good abroad.

Sundays.
Up late, with a stinking hangover. Breakfast at the cafe with mates, catching up on tall tales from Saturday night. Endless cups of really strong tea, the News of the World followed by a nap, then a roast, then wine and a Bond Film, Grand Prix and Top Gear.

Try that on a croissant and an espresso, Pierre! HA!

Lea & Perrins, Henderson's, Stilton, Melton Mowbray pork pies - in fact all the local and regional foods that are unique to Britain; they all contribute to its greatness.

I quite like English apathy.

[Mikeyboy]

the fact that the British are inetrested in and usually go and see the rest of the world.

And the architecture. I just like going to an English town and seeing houses, of all shapes and sizes and not just blocks of flats painted in different colours in some vain attempt to make them different from one another.

Yeah, Curry Wurst just doesn't cut it does it?

Pies

[jmorgan]

History. Lots of it still standing, castles etc. Fish n chips. Pubs. Countryside I find unique. Rainy days at the sea side. Roast beef. English Mustard. Worcester sauce. TVR, Lotus, Marcos etc.

[GroundEffect]

The climate. We may bh, we may moan, but out of everywhere in the world I've been I've always come home to our weather and been thankful for it - it's never too hot, it's never too cold. Yes, it's wet but it's not uncomfortable.

[kambites]

Proper cheese and beer are the two things I miss most when I'm abroad.
