Hey Pandas, What Is Something That Is Quintessentially British That You Enjoy? (Closed)
It can be film, books, food, beverages, sayings, anything really. As long as it is British and you enjoy it.

I like using British lingo at times. I include the words bloody, daft, mate, lad, chap etc in many conversations
The Beatles
British humour
BEANS ON TOAST
Complaining about the french?.... (Sorry, joke! JOKE!!!)
Strawberries and cream
Have you seen the Andy Murray thing? ‘What do you eat your strawberries with?’ *utter confusion* ‘My-my hands’
British TV shows like Doctor Who and even the kids ones, like Sarah and Duck tend to be much better than shows where I live in America (in my opinion)
Doctor Who is literally life! It's the best, my favourite Doctor is David Tennant.
Marmalade. It's good on almost everything. If you've never had a peanut butter and marmalade sandwich, you haven't lived.
Heartstopper, it’s British, and it’s my absolute favourite thing about England. Also British sweets are way better than American sweets, American sweets taste like chemicals and c**p. I’m probably more British than I am Canadian, I love British culture and I don’t really like Canadian culture.
Monty Python
Monty Python's Flying Circus
All Monty Python films
Sherlock (the 2010 series)
Music (Queen, David Bowie,...)
Cream Tea
Bloody everything
I could make an endless list
Sorry if someone has already said this, but harry potter, man! it’s so good, and is so nostalgic for me, despite being still young(ish). This movie brings me so much jog
British Invasion: the Brits took American Blues and gave the world Blues-Based Rock & Roll
Double Decker buses. I had a lot of fun riding around on the top and seeing things. Also, not sure if this is British or even London exclusive, but I saw a ton of shops and resturaunts that were covered in flowers and greenery, and it was the coolest.
I love how certain words mean totally different things. Ex: Rubber = eraser, not condom. F*g = cigarette not a slur.
I love charming curmudgeonliness, something that only the British have mastered. But I see David Mitchell as a role model, and perhaps that’s not entirely healthy.
