Go abroad on holiday and make drunken ****s of yourselves.
A stubborn refusal to look beyond our shores at places that do things better, and appropriate that good practice for ourselves. But that's hard to capture in a photo.

My wife has been living in the UK as an EU national for a large part of the last 20 years, but now owing to some time spent out of the country is at risk of being kicked out in the event of no other deal being agreed, so I'm finding it hard to see the funny side of being British just now.

Or an ability to see the good things in other countries, claim them for Blighty and then plead ignorance about who cocked up the world.
The ability to go on holiday to Spain and then complain it's full of Spanish people....
Being the most multicultural and least racist nation in Europe. Easily.
Lots of immigration over a lot of years.
Most of us are immigrants, just a generation or two removed.
Queueing and a stiff upper lip !
Boring answer, but it is having a british passport.we don't choose the country of our birth so why would we feel some random allegiance to it?

This is true, it's also a British thing to fail to acknowledge it.
I’m going to share this thread with MayBot and LyingBloHard.
Y’know, just so they fully understand the underlying feelings the UK citizens have for “their” country.
If most were posted as a joke, there seems little humour in the written word.

Second by the looks of it..

True, the scots also hate themselves.

What is most truly British is patting ourselves on the back for our fantastic <your attribute here> while assuming this attribute is non-existent elsewhere - though even this isn't particularly British.
But to answer the OPs question I'd say a trip to a seaside resort (out of season!) would be a mine of photo opportunities, followed by a visit to that London for some jellied eels and middle-eastern food from a pop-up.

Many people are in denial of that however 😉 See 'casual racism' above.

I'm not so sure about that, many people outside the UK don't care/know that it's made of smaller countries, so they simply dislike the British. Deservedly.
Going to ****ing ikea for a family day out.
The appalling food, a cuisine with few redeeming features, with the exception of the bacon sandwich.
Drinking huge volumes of weak beer.
