Default Calling all people from the UK

S'up.


What do you like about the UK and why?
Equally, if you're more pessimistic, what do you dislike and find not so agreeable?

Well I find accents other than that of an Oxfordian to be quite odd. On the whole I like this accent. Another of my favourites is the sum'ur'se accent it's just awesome.

True !

And, I forgot blueberry muffins ! I'll die for a blueberry muffin.

And of course, I meant Newcastle Brown beer, not brown bear , Brown Bear is the Eric Carle's book I am reading with my pupils.

We do seem to have a lot to be pleased with in these fair isles...

Especially the strange little English Traditions in places...

Cheese Rolling, Cooper's Hill, Brookworth in Goucestershire.
Tar-Barrel Racing Ottery St Mary, Devon
Nettle Eating Contest Marsham, Dorset
etc etc..

Then you got the strange Place Names.....

There is an Egypt in Wiltshire
Brown Willy, in Cornwall
Crapstone in Devon
Twatt in Oakney
A Hill Called Lord Hereford's Knob in Herefordshire

Then you got the old Children's Games...
Like Conkers

It Is Great to be English/British - You get away with being a little eccentric as well sometimes..

I like the UK. We have the best comedians, fo' sho'. I mean, I like South Park and plenty of American sitcoms, but our actual comedians and comedy shows are the best

Cecile has mentioned a tonne of things, we are home to many great authors, playwrights, poets, war veterans, we still have a monarchy, tea is in abundance. Plus, I love confusing the yanks with Blighty slang. Old english pubs with real ale and cider. Wouldn't give that up for anything.

And my Brummie accent for the win
