Oh God no! Stat, please, no. Honestly, we can discuss this privately over a beer.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

The Beatles
Test Match Cricket

And I’ll nominate

David Bowie
Saying “not too bad” when asked how you are.

Oh God.
Every poll involving the Beatles will just have a load of muso twats posting about how an obscure band nobody's ever heard of actually pioneered some nonsense and they actually stole all their ideas and "I've listened to loads of music don't you know?"
While somehow missing the much more important point that We Can Work It Out is f***ing AWESOME.

 

[Whitechapel]

CASISDEAD

UK RAP

 

[bhafc99]

Saying “anywhere round here will do” when the taxi arrives at your destination.

“The modern sandwich variant of döner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants”

Doner kebab - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

A German Döner is very different to the British Doner kebab. The meat is cut with beef and a rolled flat bread is used instead of the naff pitta bread. The salad is more sophisticated as well. There is now many German döners available across the UK, but they are not the indigenous 11:30pm with chilli sauce, diced cabbage and onions.
Whilst in turkey you have it with rice and salad (or a buttery iskender).
So the British Doner is still my nomination.

 

[Randy McNob]

Only fools and horses
Banksy
Exceptionalism
Apathy to government screwing us

 

[BadFish]

Sorry if this has already been suggested but . . . Apologising when:

- you are at fault
- someone else is at fault
- as a passive aggressive, 'you're wrong'
- as a less passive aggressive, 'f*** you your wrong'
- uttering a sentence.

 

[BadFish]

Also . . . Taking the piss out of people you like. Like them more give them more shit.

 

[BadFish]

Voting Tory/accepting leaders based on their privilege of birth. (What's the point of having a ruling class if you don't use them?).

 

[BadFish]

Second Sunday Roast (what a thought), tea, tutting and answering the how are you question with 'not bad' (two negatives).

Paul Weller
Stephen Fry
Shaun Ryder
James Caster
Stewart Lee

 

[Eeyore]

I’d like to second

The Beatles
Test Match Cricket

David Bowie

I'll second 'Saying “not too bad” when asked how you are'

Not bad suggestion.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Apologies if I’ve missed it, but surely The full English Breakfast has to be on the list.?

I’ve eaten what appeared to be a doner kebab in Turkey. The big difference was the quality and taste. Much, much better than the stuff you generally get here. Probably one of these:

Which is essentially……..a British Doner.

I’m calling cultural appropriation on the ‘British Doner’. I propose an exclusion.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Only fools and horses
Banksy
Exceptionalism
Apathy to government screwing us

Nothing particularly British about those last two. Every country I lived/worked in thought they were exceptional. If anything, most people here seem to think the UK is a shit country. I’m exceptional for disagreeing!
