The best things about the United Kingdom

[B-right-on]

BHA

 

[Pogue Mahone]

The fact that there aren't many guns.

Music, art, drama, comedy.

Craft beer.

Super Furry Animals.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The countryside.

With a total lack of giant c**t snakes who swallow you whole or anything else likely to 'get' you.

Slippery ***ts

I suppose it's good to be reminded that we are not just starting to say goodbye to the EU today, but also to over 400 years of political union. Who knew that the only thing the Conservative Party wanted to conserve was the Conservative Party?

The fact we take the piss out each other, country, county, city, town, suburb, street, friend, best mate, family, stranger, celebrity, whoever, disaster, amazing feats, whatever....

You name it we will find a reason to take the piss out of it....

I think also self deprecation is something the rest of the world don't get.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

In no particular order Democracy, rule of law, NHS, emergency services, armed forces, welfare system, compassion, tolerance, the (not so) silent majority. Calm, dignified and mature way we accept the result of free and fair elections ..sense of humour.

 

[pastafarian]

The best back archive of black and white war films.
No one else comes close.

The countryside, the music (Beatles, The Who - and the earlier shout from someone for Show of Hands was spot on), real ale, pubs, cricket, haggis (love it!), pure malt Scotch (and I'm sorry if I'm offending anybody by including Scotland in the UK), local dialects, the weather, heritage railways........and Rachel Riley...........

How is the weather getting votes? Do people not go outside

The variety - the sunshine and the rain, the mists and winds, the occasional snow. Not too hot to even move, and never really, really cold. What's not to like?

Plumbers on tap!

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Football. The playing of football in England is documented since at least 1314, and we have nearly got the hang of it.

 

[kevo]

Its tolerance and acceptance of other nationalities and cultures. Oh...

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

The rolling hills and playful sheep.

Probably more relevant for the Welsh..

 

[Megazone]

Going abroad to somewhere like Naples, getting your U.K flag out and chanting anti German and IRA songs as loud as you can. Being able to do that is one of the best things about being from the U.K.

funnily enough the thing that most Australians seem to be scared of (in this land of deadly critters) is bloody wasps. "Yeah but they are aggressive!!" I hear so often.

Music and Comedy.
A stiff upper lips,
Keep calm and carry on.
Our acceptance and inclusiveness (is that still around?)
Appreciation of difference.

 

[Chicken Run]

EU immigrants, particularly Eastern European women.

Good point, I only worry that with Brexit well and truly here now the wave of Eastern Europeans heading this way will stop!!

Music and the arts. Truly world beaters in these fields.
I'm going to say comedy but as a personal thing. I don't buy the 'we have the best comedy in the world' line. It's so subjective, although, we definitely take it very seriously which produces so much good stuff.
Some excellent cheeses.
Beautiful countryside.
Architecture.
And although it's taking a bit of a battering right now and some numptys are loudly shouting over the top of it, a tolerant modern view of life and people.
The football is fun too.
Summer. Have come to really appreciate them. The weather the rest of the year, meh.
And **** the naysayers, Brighton.
