Those huge fuckin signs are ridiculous. Gaelic has never, ever been spoken on the Border. Fuckin Holyrood, the most expensive and pointless parish council on the planet.

 

Oh and the best thing about England is our sense of humour and tolerance of other, lesser peoples :)

People being pleasant to you for no apparent reason (and meaning it).

The accents.

Oxford & Cambridge universities.

Bring the centre of the world's greatest empire.

The industrial revolution.

The Royal family :lol:

The premier league.

Not being a nation of convicts.

Being by far the most fun people in a room full of frogs and krauts.

The north.

 

I could go on....

I'll never understand folk who emirgrate seemingly just for some decent weather. My mate went to Oz because he's a surf nut, I can understand that, he's very good at it and its the lifestyle he wants. People getting down about a day of rain though,I just don't get them. "This county's gone to the dogs"....that brigade as well. Compared to fuckin when? when was this mythical golden age? :lol:

Nice list, mostly agreed, need a counterbalance of 'shit things about England' though.

British weather is always fighting a losing battle. Cold/wet? This fucking country! The sun comes out? it's too hot man!

 

Agree on the last bit too, PC went mad and ruined this bloody country! :lol: I used to like celebrating Christmas but despite it never happening to me or anyone I know the bloody Muslims are knocking on everyone else's doors and telling them they have to take the tree down! Sharia law marra!
