[Misc] Things that the UK actually does rather well

[Herr Tubthumper]

Hate to interject a serious point into the thread but it’s obviously Motor Sport, all the F1 teams (except Ferrari) are UK based.

What about Alpha Romeo?

We do food banks quite well.

There are more foodbanks in this country than McDonald's.” This is accurate. Although exact figures for the number of food banks are tricky to pin down, there are around 1,350 McDonald's outlets in the UK compared with over 2,500 food banks

What about Alpha Romeo?

Woops, but they are not based in Italy, for some reason they are Swiss based?

We are very good at knowing our place in society and putting up with it while complaining quietly so very very quietly

Beating the Germans when it actually matters.

Building a world Empire, then leaving causing all sorts of problems with partition in India, Ireland and the problems in the middle east which we are seeing today.

Getting irate about orange powder disrupting the snooker but quite happy to allow the Tory’s to ditch the ECHR.

Pubs.
Pies.
Pageantry

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Food generally. Far superior to anywhere I’ve been for the sheer variety of it.
Talking about the weather.
Thinking we are the best in the world at something while not bothering to ever look at the equivalent anywhere else.
Hosting sport.
Music.
Pageantry.

Basically absolutely loads. I moan about the UK a lot, but there is still nowhere else I would rather live on a permanent basis.

Me too. I will be feeling MUCH more excited and positive once the current scum are out of Government too.
