What are the best things to come out of the UK?

  • Top Gear
  • Doctor Who
  • Downton Abbey
  • Pride and Prejudice
  • David Attenborough
  • The Batmobile 
  • Prince William
  • Range Rover
  • Rolls Royce/Rolls Bentley
  • Aston Martin
  • The Stig
  • The Oxbridge Accent
  • Afternoon Tea
  • Tea with Milk
  • Shepherd's Pie
  • Pubs
  • Guinness
  • The Legend of King Arthur
  • Shakespeare
  • "Mind the gap."
  • The River Thames
  • Tower of London
  • Buckingham Palace
Things I don't particularly like, but they give the UK a particular flavour:
  • Climbing up to the golden dome in St. Paul's Cathedral... I was scared for my life despite having done a similar climb to the cupola of St. Peter's Basilica. Ahh... But to say I've done it once.
  • Narrow streets and tiny cars -- It's hard to get used to the cars being on the "wrong" side of the road (or "right" side of the road, depending on how you look at it)
  • Incredibly steep escalators at tube stations.
