I liked the comedian Bill Baileys description of Briton and the British:

"Whats Britain like?' Well, erm, hmm, its alright. We've got understatement. We have strong prevailing South Westerly winds. 52% of our days are overcast, so as a nation we're infused with a wistful melancholy but we remain a relentlessly chipper population, prone to mild eccentricity, binge drinking and casual violence."

Shit, just realised nobody's mentioned the "Last Night of the Proms"

(for any non-Brits who want to have a crack at understanding what makes a Brit weep - kick his dog or take him to the Last Night of the Proms)

The ability to use the F word nearly as many times in a sentence as there are other words in the sentence and call someone a C in a friendly manner.

Believing that all foreigners can understand English perfectly well as long as it is spoken loudly with a hint of a foreign accent and one or two foreign words added at the end. Comprende?
