The Brits should just keep quiet until-

[1fromawoodpile]

they can figure out how to run hot and cold water thru the same pipe in all their buildings

offer the world 21st century hotel rooms without those ridiculous wall presses for trousers

develop a cuisine that isn't sneered at by the rest of the world

Has anyone ever said to you "let's do English tonight?" No, of course not.

There are a lot of great Indian, French and Chinese restaurants in London. Who says British food is bad?

That's not English food jackass.

It's Indian, French and Chinese food.

No, Indian, French and Chinese isn't bad. Italian food is not bad.

English food? Yes, that is bad.

Yup, my wife often does, but she's English.
mmmmm...shepherd's pie

Off the top of my head I can't think of a country's food I don't enjoy.

The worst hotel chain in the world is: The Moat House Hotel Group

Absolute dumps!

I think it is wonderful that the English still host the Wimbledon Tennis championships despite not having even the slightest chance having a native winner. It is one of the most unselfish acts in human history.

They also can cut a nice hunt coat and I'd put English riding boots up against any but the best German boots.

They also make a nice car, but anything worth looking starts at $150,000.

They do have Kate and Pippa, while all we have is Paris and Chelsea.

I suspect their medal count this summer will be quite the embarrasment too.

We plan to toss them a win in Show Jumping as a big thank you for spending billions hosting the games. Perhaps a second since everyone else might have to fall off the horse in order for a Brit to win fair and square.

What about Dressage? Wait a minute, that's right, only Mitt and Ann give a shit.

Is this the same thing as dehydrated water?

I agree, shepherd's pie isn't bad, the rest is a little bland, although fish and chips isn't bad either.

the difference between brits and yanks is that we'll laugh at out own food, our tennis performance, the shambles that will be the olympics. yanks, despite being almost universally loathed and mocked, never manage to do the same.

and... spotted dick? even if it doesn't taste good, we named a pudding spotted dick! that's just class.

Living in Britain is like living in the US, after it's been adapted to the Special Olympics!

true, it's something to be proud of that we have attempted to make our buildings wheelchair accessible, that our ATM machines have loop systems for hearing aids, that our cinemas have special screenings for the visually & hearing impaired and autistic friendly screenings, that our pedestrian crossings have sound or touch signals to enable the blind to cross safely, that our coins and notes are designed so that you can tell them apart by touch, etc, etc, etc.

we could do a lot more but we're making a damn good start.
