I think the people still have a great mentality.

British people are among the most tolerant and supportive I've ever seen. I've had relatives who've lived abroad for 25+ years and they say the same.

For me it would be the British humour. We can laugh at ourselves and not take things too seriously

We punch way above our weight globally when it comes to music. And in musical history that's fairly recent. A member of my family has been living very much abroad for a decade and the thing he misses most is interesting music that makes you stop and listen. He also misses proper cider and perry since orchards need to be generations old before the fruit is really good enough. But that could be a West Country thing rather than full British.

That's because the British are modest.

I prefer the U.S. for most things, but I think the cider in this country can't be beat.

Nope all football is rubbish, sorry they even cheat at that, the clue is in the name.

"the aray of regional drinks you have is mind boggling a 100 plus gins and thats just one tipple

Have you seen the amount of micro breweries we have?

Beer is one thing we're very good at!

You'd be surprised. The US have loads of micro breweries, and I had some excellent IPAs when in New York. Even in the dive bars.

The US is also ridiculously big compared to the uk

There's probably 5 brewieres in a 5 miles radius from our house "

Yeah Yorkshire is good for beer too. I'm just saying that, compared to places like Belgium and Germany, it might not be the top of the list of things what we're good at

I'm really bored if hearing people slag off GB!

I have travelled a lot for many years - and while I appreciate different cultures and places - England is my home.

I love London - it's the best city I've been to- and I've been to a lot.

I love British humour, manners, Health service, weather ( I love having seasons) , I love our wages in comparison to other countries, opportunities, freedom....

I could go on and on.

I feel really offended when I hear people from other countries slagging my birthplace off.

Of course you miss your home country - where your family and friends are.

But don't hate the place that is affording you a wage!

I never behaved like that in the countries I lived in.

Britain; two best things

Beer - yes, other countries have their own styles of beer, but ours are pretty unique. We have thousands of breweries, and wherever you go, there will be osme sort of "Local Brew". All this from tradition, rather than being a "craft beer" fad for hipsters wanting 8 billion different styles of either lager or IPA. CAMRA - socks and sandles over hipster beards anyday.

Bread: No, not that weird synthetic longlife oddness that you get in the supermarket. Actual bread, granary cobs, white farmhouse and so on. Its so much moree diverse and tasty tham most countries bread (Up yours, France).

I absolutely cannot understand people like you. Embrace our history our past our culture as it's what makes our country the place it is. It's not about parading your latest military hardware as that's what keeps us ahead despite having a small military. People pay to come to our country to see the sheer amount of history we have and revel in the pomp and ceremony. What a friggin dullard!!!!

Nope sorry on googling it was America that started the packet sharing networks way before the internet.

Cern was where hyperlinks and the world wide Web system started.

But still in Switzerland if lead by a British scientist.

You realise that the NHS performs fairly poorly when compared to other health care systems such as those in Europe?

Comparing it to an American system is silly. Compare it to Germany, Sweden etc and it comes up short.

Also for "capitalist" America they spend more in government money per person on health care than the uk does

Which does show how inefficient thier system is they spend enough in tax money to actually have an NHS but still need private contributions

I'd hate to have a healthcare system like the US. But that doesn't mean we can't learn from other countries. Unfortunately, it seems that when a politician tries to 'reform' the NHS, they have the American model in mind.

I don't see any evidence of wanting the US system. The US system ranks very poorly in the world. The NHS ranks about 18th. There are plenty of better systems about but they would cost more. The people who think the NHS is amazing either work there or suffer from some kind of stockholm syndrome.

I think there are so many great things about Great Britain

The Arts : Literature, theatre, art, music, film. Truly incredible works are created and performed and taught and loved by so many.

The Diversity : Food, people, shops. The list is far from complete but there are so many great examples.

The Architecture : Stunning to put simply. The NT properties, the houses of religous worship, castles...

The landscape : The difference in countryside; the harsh, stark beauty of Scotland compared to the gentle rolling Herts countryside.

That's a few things. I love living here. Yes, it has it's problems as does everywhere.
