Can we have a nice thread about British culture?

[Gobbeldegook]

Without goady fuckers spoiling all the niceness.
I vote seaside fish and chips.

Agree I was just starting to enjoy the last one!

eaEating beans on toast, mashed potato and sandwiches.
Visiting stately homes
Lots of different accents
Going out in short sleeved tshirts (and shorts for some) as soon as the temperature hits double figures
Sunday afternoon cricket in the summer

I was enjoying the last one too. I do wish MNHQ wouldn't be so quick to pull threads.

I love a country walk and stopping off at a nice village tea room.

Oh I love a tea room

And Whitby steps. I love doing Whitby steps.

I'll repost what I put.

Bygone era, but another thing I enjoy about the culture is the deep relationship towns had with their traditional trades like textile works, steelworks and shipbuilding (very much in common with your Scottish neighbours ).
I love that they're still proud to this day and just wish it was still a thriving industry.

I didnt find out until recently[actually I watched an episode of Dads Army, and wondered why they seemed to be able to have as many fish and chips as they wanted during WW11 and rationing] that fish and chips were not rationed during WW11, because it was thought that to ration them, would have meant loss of British moral.

I missed the last thread!

I also love stately homes. When DC were tiny I would go to National Trust places a lot on weekdays, mainly to walk in the gardens and have a cuppa and loved the atmosphere of mainly retired folk who had time to chat.

There's a cup of tea theme to my posts!

I love the regional variations in accent across a relatively small geographical distance.
Roast dinners
Our shared emotional investment in the survival of M&S
The way our language is coded, but we all instinctively 'get' it.

Mushy peas

Tea is our national pacifier - the immediate response to all problems is to make tea!

Tea. I love my mug of tea. I love tea in tea rooms. I love afternoon tea. I love tea with friends.

Tea is definitely the best bit of British culture.

The BBC
Newspapers
Radio 4

Yes, tea. And our sense of humour.

We celebrate Christmas very differently to our European cousins.

The charitable nature of the British (I'm 1st generation of immigrants).
The sense of humour
Tea!!

We have this
www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/
Not well known outside the area and South Wales in the UK, but we have coach trips from Germany, the Netherlands etc to see it.

steelworks and shipbuilding (very much in common with your Scottish neighbours smile).

OMG - I can't believe that people still think British is English --- despite all teh talke of Scottish Indyref .....WE ARE IN BRITAIN

OP if you meant a thread about England would you please ask MN to correct the heading.

@lightand oh I didn't know that, very interesting!

Then there's the Ottery St Mary tar barrels, the hunting of the Earl of Rone, cheese rolling...

Pubs and pub culture. And the beer.
