Top Ten Best of All Things British

The Top Ten
1 Music

I'm an American who really likes Britpop. Is an American like me knowing who Supergrass, Ash, and Kula Shaker are show how much I love music from the UK? But my favorite band of all time would have to be Oasis, who are also part of the Britpop genre, and the one who got me into music from the UK. Overall, I just really like the music that comes out of the UK, and I hope it keeps giving the world more great music artists.

I'm Canadian & I Love mostly all Music so I'm not Blind to good music!
I heard what the Brits have given the World in Music The whole British Invasion is still one of my fave music eras!

2 Tea

Now I don't know if this is what makes The British the best but hopefully I can go there and taste their tea!

There is something magical about sipping a nice cup of English tea.

3 London London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south eastern part of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. London is one of the world's most important global cities. It exerts considerable... read more

Ugh, I find London awful. I'll never live there. It's way too busy and crowded for me. Every queue is a mile long and the accents... The awful cockney accents... No offense.

I really wish I lived in the UK. Wish I could've been born there too. I love that country!

4 People

Very friendly, polite, cracking sense of humour, intelligent...

5 Inventions

It is so funny those Americans are so full of themselves but they do not realise that the lightbulb (Arc lamp), Baseball (Rounders), and the internet were invented by the British. Ah those funny Yanks.

The internet. Google the rest (which you will find on said internet). There are far too many world-changing inventions to go into.

Well, not the internet but certainly the World Wide Web.

6 Writers

Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, William Shakespere, Charles Dickens, Catherine Cookson. And don't even get me started on British comedy writers. Good God, we'd be here forever, darling!

Please don't forget C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Oh, and Charlotte Bronte and Mary Shelley. These British authors I cannot do without.

7 Comedy

Monty Python, Blackadder, Bottom, Shaun of the Dead - all examples of excellent British comedies.

The list of successful Great British comedies is endless...and I have other things to do.

Mr Bean is so cute, he is my childhood friend.

8 Cricket Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a cricket field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard-long pitch with a wicket, a set of three wooden stumps sited at each end.

Watching English cricket on a Summer's day; the sound of polite applause as a plane drones overhead. Just wonderful.

And it's even more wonderful if that plane's a Spitfire or a Hurricane...

9 Fish & Chips

Wow! I just adore fat greasy chips, floating in vinegar and smothered in salt... I'm so hungry right now.

23 Weather

How unpredictable- no need to make a nice cuppa and grabbing a pair of walkers crips just to watch some nice ITV, the weather itself is enough entertainment!

Very unpredictable. Yes us Brits love a jolly good moan about it, but we secretly love it. A conversation-starter at least!

Ah british weather one minute its sunny the other minute pouring with rain

24 The Royal Family

Replace cricket with football. Brits love football MUCH MORE than cricket. I woukd know... I live here
