    Well, stiff upper lip being originally an American phrase, I can't honestly go for it... Being a good honest (well...) expatriate though... 'And did those feet, in ancient lands...' etc.

    Also went for the panto, and our sense of humour - it's not our fault no-one else has one worth a damn... Also our countryside - though to be honest, it's pretty much just the largest garden known to man...

    Several others caught my eye - a good proper afternoon tea for example - with cucumber sandwiches! But since they weren't together... no. Oxford nearly got it as well, the grand sneer - I mean tour too.

    The people of England sadly do not exist anymore - well, not in England - they're all abroad!

    Can't even go for St George either - he's Armenian, plus, Georgia gives him his proper due as a patron saint, we don't, so we don't deserve him.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...

    ...no Monty Python ? Fawlty Towers gets fairly close, granted.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    I voted stiff upper lip and Spitfire and the our sense of humour...
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    The Sandwich - no other country in the world understands. Even the Scots try to deep fat fry them. John Montagu is a genius.

    The people of England sadly do not exist anymore - well, not in England - they're all abroad!
    You'd get that impression if you spent all your time down south, come up north to the land of Yorkshire and you'll see real English people, not the metrosexual-faux-californian-parisian-mocco-choco-latte-lardy-da-likely-lads of London.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    Ah yes, two southern men, one an underwear salesman the other a conceptual artist and part time poodle groomer greet each other in the traditional restrained London fashion.

    You voted for the flat cap I take it, Al Khalifah...?
