Since people keep moaning that we're being too negative.
How you can write a sarcastic comment on a message board without having to put a
after it for people to get it, unlike on American message boards.
The fact that people pay thousands of pounds extra for a convertable car that they can only use for two weeks a year.
Our ability to queue properly.
The obsession with football, just to counter the number of times this came up in the "what annoys you about the UK" thread.

Country folk in country pubs.
The fact that, even with the existence of the toff twats in the public schools, normal people still manage to be successful sometimes.
Its superb characteristic sense of humour.
More concern for animal welfare than most other nations.
Another vote for countryside pubs.
Best dance music artists and dj's on the planet.
The BBC.
I went out in Leeds yesterday :grump:
But what has "safety" got to do with the price of cheese?
Are you Glenn Close in disguise or something?
Pubs with proper beers.
The weather and the glorious countryside it creates. The coastline.
Regional identity but national unity.
The ability to poke fun at ourselves and our leaders. Irony.
Whats your quam with going out in Leeds? I live in Leeds and LOVE it! Woooo! :thumb:
Anyway, what do i like about the UK;
It's British!
It has cups of tea!
The women are HOT!!!
country pubs and the dodgy guy who sits in the darkest corner with his long grey beard pipe and real ale (country folk)
coastline, God bless British surf
Irony
Women
also
openness
democracy
running water! (although not for all southerners, see you should live up North)
regional banter
lakes (especially in cumbria)
geographical diversity, scottish highlands to norfolk broads!
Love
British sense of humour
The Seaside
There's so much I like about living in the UK that it would take too long to list. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, and I feel safe living here.
Fish and chips.
Rock
Our infinitely superior music artists.
London
Strong regional identities and culture.
Compactness.
Countryside with it's "hidden gems".
General high standard of architecture in most major city centres.
The British Armed Forces.
The good influences we've had on the world.
Agreed.
Also, indigenous Scottish wildflowers, the north-east of England, free entry to a large proportion of museums and galleries, Scotland, the castles and cathedrals, The National Trust.
It's infrastructure - transport, health for all, education for all
The people - ability to laugh at ourselves, "tolerance"
"Freedom"
And yet another vote for country pubs.
I like the fact there arent many animals or bugs or weather conditions that are likely to kill you.
And the stuff that alladin said.
Always putting other people first.
Very patriotic bunch, check us out at the football, we're always the loudest at matches.
NHS.
Landscape, villages, communtiies.
Our love for animals.
Our alliance with the USA.
Mainly capitalist but carying society.
Our food - best in the world, can't beat a a sunday roast.
Pubs.
Democracy but not the current state of it.
Army - best in the world.
