After just connecting a European round pin plug it’s just occurred to me how much better the UK square pin plugs are.

Is there anything else?

real ale, although wheat beer is quite nice.

Not when you step on them!

BBC and police.

Jingoism!

😕 Brits are hardly world leaders on that issue

Just because the yanks are loudly jingoistic, doesn’t make them better at it, british jingoism is much more subtle in its brainwashing of the citizenship 😉

Afghans dont like having their donkeys kicked 😆

Meatloaf isn’t from the UK

Sausages and ale.

Innovation & entrepreneurialism (sadly not often followed up with enough clout)

A general can do mentality (in my experience).

The variety of scenery, local culture, accents, customs etc. within a close distance.

Multi-culturalism; whilst at the same time incredible tribalism, both within and without the home nations, when it comes to football or rugby, but also being able to laugh it off afterwards over a beer (or is that just rugby?).

The Weather. Just stop and think about it – we never have it so hot/dry/cold/wet that the weather is going to kill you/stop you from riding. Unless you are one of the great stupids of our nation, for who Darwinism applies…

Beaten to it a few times.

The NHS is a beautiful, wonderful thing. It’s badly managed in a number of places but as a concept it’s something very special.

Inventors. For some reason we roll out so many of them.

Brown sauce

Oh yes, +1.000.000 on the NHS, as the mrs has just found out, an inhaler that costs £12 in the UK costs $175 in the USA, 😯
She has travel insurance…

As was just about to refute the NHS being good, but I think if you changed that to read ‘It’s very badly managed in quite a number of places…” you’d be spot on.

I’d say our tolerance, multiculturalism, legal system, and the monarchy.

MUSIC— can’t beleive nobody mentioned this yet, i refer to the British Blues invasion of the States, Beatles, Stones, the Nash bit of Crosby Stills &, and oasis, blur not bloody one direction!

British Films – generally far more cerebral than other offerings particularly Lock Stock, Snatch.. Shaun of the Dead

Humour & Comedy

Professionalism of our Armed Forces, I know everyone says it but I really do think that we have the best in the world simply let down by a horrendeous military procurement system and civil service.

Music. Especially the sort produced on a computer.
