It's a biscuit, sweet baked confection. Known across the water as a cookie. Yeah being born there is my only real reason, the rest is just a few extra details and softens the blow of the downsides. Still am coming over all patrotic. It's not so bad a country really, all things considered. * Our language has taken over the world! * Oh and our swear words are the best. * Our sense of humor is unique, excellent and admired. Hence all the great comedies. * As a rule people mind their own business * Humility in sporting defeats (God knows we need it) which just makes victory all the sweeter. * The sense of being diverse yet united. * We're close enough to Europe for the benefits, but far enough away to do our own thing. Speaking of which ... * Haven't been invaded or lost a war for hundreds of years (though Iraq is looking a little dodgy) * We can win admiration of the rest of the world with next to no effort. * Chavs, you either are one, or have huge fun taking the piss out of them. * The weather, such a useful conversation staple and source of suprise. * Humor thing again; world's greatest sense of irony. Seriously which other country declares a drought when it's pissing down with rain. (America does irony too, but that's by accident due to it's inherent stupidity. So doesn't really count)
Wimbledon, cricket, strawberries and cream, spankings from matron, institutionalised buggery at boarding schools and oh the choirboys! ...I've just come.:&
