[Misc] Things that the UK actually does rather well

[BN9 BHA]

Lemonade... none of this 7up or Sprite shite...

I’m going to disagree slightly.
I don’t like the no sugar version and I have to buy a large bottle of the decent stuff, I’m not actually sure where I can buy the sugary type in cans.
The big bottles are pretty cheap though but I prefer cans in the fridge.

 

[MalmöGull]

Neighborhood pubs

So if I touch the positive to my left nostril and negative to my right nostril, will we find any signs of life?

Can you tell left from right?

 

[Kubes]

Hobbies!

 

[birthofanorange]

Idiocy.

I see, I have never tried buying it when I’ve been on holiday, I haven’t been overseas since I gave up drinking.

Oh blimey, you think I’m in danger of crossing the streams?

Minutes Silence

 

[faoileán]

State owned broadcasting. Ignorant people moan about the licence fee but BBC TV, iPlayer, radio and internet services are the best in the world; the last institution that Britain can be proud of...

As an American who’s married to an English woman, I’d say;

Healthcare
Pubs
Breakfast
Supermarkets (love me a £3 meal deal from Tesco)
Chocolate
Pedestrian crossings
Accurate price tags
Making fun of France
And my favorite of all.. Offensive chants about opposing teams

You actually like a Tesco meal deal

 

[warmleyseagull]

Having social media posts about things the country does well at.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I’d agree about the BBC, although it is struggling to maintain standards.
News reporting across the board is better, than USA anyway.
Club football , pubs …..
Apart from that ……I dunno.

This isn't you is it ??

 

[BrightonCottager]

Our network of public footpaths and bridleways.
Our variety of weather.
Fulham FC (other football clubs are available).
Decent beer.

These are the things that lured me back from a job in the Caribbean.

Food banks and Government corruption.

 

[Commander]

It's mad people mentioning corruption. The UK is one of the least corrupt countries in the world. Always remember a conversation I had with a Lebanese friend during Covid. I was moaning about Boris and he was laughing at me and said "In my country a warehouse exploded because the government stored enormous amounts of explosives with no safety measures. It permanently disabled thousands of people, who are now homeless and unable to do anything for themselves and the government never paid a penny in compensation, and you lot are all up in arms because your PM had a birthday party- you have no idea how bloody lucky you are".

 

[BBassic]

you lot are all up in arms because your PM had a birthday party- you have no idea how bloody lucky you are".

Perhaps this friend of yours should try saying this to the people who couldn't be with their dying loved ones because they were following the rules put in place by our rule breaking, party loving former PM.

What happened in Lebanon and how their Government have acted since is clearly abhorrent but that doesn't diminish the impact of decisions and actions our Government has taken.
