Donner kebab - no one would eat anything like that in Turkey.
Thinking everywhere else is shit.
Being a dick when drunk.
Sorry that was Three.

Having done a little travel in my times, I can wholeheartedly say that queuing is one of the things you do best. Beef wellington is a dish you invented that is simply astounding and well worth a call out! A good cup of tea is probably my third, tea just doesn't taste as good anywhere in the world as an english cup of tea. Is the sausage roll British?? Good job if it is, add that too.

I'll never add beer or anything alcoholic to that list though, unfortunately even being Australian, you are the country that drinks the most out of any where I have been, any excuse, any time, any place, any reason, you drink. Maybe thats the thing you want to add. Biggest drinkers.

Finally its a tie between British and Australian travelling sports fans too, a minority in there that are soooo appalling it taints the rest. English football fans luzzing chairs in far away countries is something I'll never get over, and both countries with their racist sledging and commentary to each other. Pretty good at being absolutely rotten there...

If you spent as long queing as we do, you'd need a drink as well.

The countryside.

Nobody does rolling green hills and country lanes quite like us.

Official list of Nominations (they need seconding):

HP Sauce

I would happily second HP sauce if it be renamed brown sauce as my preference is Daddies.

I will second HP Sauce specifically, since Daddies is CLEARLY SECOND RATE.

I'll also add Hendersons Relish as my second nomination, since Worcester Sauce is on the list but is also MANIFESTLY SECOND RATE and contains anchovies for no obvious reason, while Hendo's is vegan friendly and thus more in keeping with our happy clappy times.

If it's vegan, I bet it tastes like ground horseshit, but each to their own

Available in all good Sainsbury's.
Seriously, why does Worcester Sauce have anchovies in it?

I once had a very pleasant conversation with a lovely elderly Indian chap on a train in Rajasthan. He was a dentist. He told me I should be proud to be British and cited two reasons why.

1. The lack of corruption. Even with the Tories and their government contract VIP lane, we are a different level to the vast majority of countries around the world.

2. Dental Instruments. He said the engineering and craftsmanship here produced the best dental instruments in the world.

 

[Questions]

We do overflowing doggie poo bins in parks and walks pretty well.

We have plenty of nominations but a lack of secondary backers!

The list of official entries stays open for now ..
