Being married to a Ukrainian, I've not experienced any Best of British Snatch for a long while.

James Bond
Curry

Snatch being a film

 

[studio150]

If you're suggesting Abba can be included then it's a pointless exercise they are Swedish.

 

[Baldseagull]

Seeing Queen Elizabeth in "Examples of what can be entered" has unnerved me.

 

[TomandJerry]

If you're suggesting Abba can be included then it's a pointless exercise they are Swedish.

They've been removed from the list

If anything is going to erode pride in your country it's Snatch being that list

It was meant to be a Pork Scratchings.

Now changed!

Tutting

You can only secondary back items on the official nomations list

Given the amount of people who now claim to be disabled with a whole team of carers to get on a train at Falmer post match, maybe queuing should be changed to queue jumping.

Anyway my two

Irony
Talking about the weather

 

[A1X]

Test match cricket
Sarcasm

I’ll second talking about the weather

 

[Pavilionaire]

1. Pubs.

Pedantry

Whilst the name Black pudding may be British, Latvia, Sweden, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbis, Slovenia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, France, Germany, Austria all have their own versions in Europe and when you add in various South American countries, Mexico, Australasia and the occasional Asian one, it's not specifically British.

Maybe go with a specific Stornoway or Clonakilty British Black Pudding

 

[Algernon]

From that list I'm going for
1/ Good luck to all.
2/Official list of nominations.

Best of British, brings a year to my eye.
