Queuing. We do queueing rather well.

Apologising to them when someone bumps into you.

Insisting that someone goes before you and saying it is no problem when the bastard takes the last chocolate biscuit.

Saying everything is fine mid meal when it really isn't

"community, tolerance , History "

Tolerance. A country where I can feel comfortable living life as a pretty obvious tranny

I thank my lucky stars for this every day. And hear 12 different languages just walking to work in the morning, it's great.

That and the weather. The architecture. And parks and gardens seem quintessentially British to me.

Being a ww2 plane geek I'd say the DeHavilland Mosquito and Spitfire.

Along with, roast dinner, full English breakfast, proper pubs with real ale and Big Ben.

Don't forget the stiff upper lip and our love of queing etiquette.
