Royalty, pageantry, Arthur,great writers and accents, and lousy food (sorry!)

British accents.

Stately homes.

Where I want to be!!!!

Tea, rain, mustard, streets that are eerily free of telephone poles, Sweeney Todd, people standing about awkwardly talking about the weather, and the song Waterloo Sunset, by The Kinks. Odd, some of the things that have become connected in my head.

High taxes, high fuel prices, sh*t weather, crap government, red tape,rules and regulations, etc.etc.etc.

My family and friends and how much I miss them.

tea

tea

Teenage mums, benefit fraud, high tax single mothers, jail, shite weather, traffic jams etc etc etc

my first thought just now was the soccer hooligans from the movie eurotrip

London. Tea. The Queen. Great history. 1996 (When I took a 'holiday' to London) Great musicians. Real Ale. My family name originated there.

Shakesphere, fog, tea, English, the Queen, John Wesley - for starters.

God save the Queen Time for tea Accent Benny Hill

the english countryside, the prince rolling in money

I REALLY wish I could visit England to let you lnow what I thought, however I could not finance the trip:(

I never knew they were so personable untill I was a answerbag member.

fish and chips. meat pies. football.

Tea and scones.

My first thought was, "romance," because the old advice given to young ladies on their wedding nights was to think of England.

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, St. Pauls' Cathedral, those funky double decker buses and their phone booths with the many panes of glass.

The Beefeaters

The color grey.

Rain, britpop, drugs, scandal, royalty. Not necessarily in that order..

Idiots with British accents. But that's changed over the past 300 years. They're not all about taking over the world anymore, but they'll still hold on to their islands. They won't share.

I Like the people there from what I can tell over the net and e mails

The word "snogging," and the Queen.

eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms....oh and fish n chips!

Kings and Queens

War , Invasions ,"THE GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE " , the Queen & everything bad ,unfortunatly when I think about it the bad things come out on top even though there are some good points about it but the bad out weighs the good where England is concerened

The Beatles, Princess Diana and other lesser members of the Royals, double decker buses, fish & chips, rain and gloomy gray weather, Glastonbury Tor, 10 Downing Street, King Arthur, charming accents, anything with HMS on it, James Bond, craggy cliffs, stiff upper lips, Westminister Abbey, judges with powdered wigs, and interestingly enough, still, I think of Margaret Thatcher.

'The ceiling could do with another coat of paint.'

Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

A green and pleasant land but the weather that is awful!

Rain, white cliffs, Harry Potter, scones, muffins, horrible horrible canned spaghetti, the Beatles, camping with my mother, and lots and lots more food, because i am hungry.

Lying back ...

My brittish friend.

The Beatles, The Queen

The first thing I think of is the colour green because I live in quite a barren environment and whenever I fly into England the first thing I see is mile after mile of green fields.

fish, chips, cup o tea, bad food worse weather merryfukn poppins england. (to quote an english film)

Picadilly Circus and the Underground - "Please mind the gap"

Princess Diana, the Beatles, the Kinks, how the weather is portrayed as always foggy in American movies, Eddie Izzard, several of my online friends who live in various parts of England, hot tea, Stonehenge, The Tower of London, Big Ben, The Royal Family, double-decker buses, druids, King Arthur, castles... I could go on forever I guess. :-D

Coronation Street.

Really good candy, tea, indian food,really cool music and music history, the best mead i ever had and grey weather.

Trying to talk with an egg in my mouth.

The Royal family , the forces , the songs "rule brittania" , "land of hope and glory" , "god save the Queen " . Stubborn attitudes. "Sunday dinner" . Tea .

this

Benny Hill, double decker buses, kings and queens, and overall the greatest of all of US allies since England is like the best friend you know has your back when you have to get in a fight at a bar, for example. England and the US are like those two friends. They will never betray their freindship, and won't let the other down.

Chip shops and curry sauce. You just can't get good curry sauce in Wales.

History, the People, surprising things found in nooks and crannies, one half of my family and how after visiting eight times I still haven't seen even half of what needs seeing.

people that can't speak their own language properly like, wota- for water Fag- for cigarette etc.

England.

Home.

Muffins...... Sorry Mimi

A great History and rain.

I think of the Lake District. Sooooooooo beautiful as is all of England. Wish I was there now. They know how to do Christmas!!

How close it is to Scotland and how quick i can get there.

Robin Hood

I don't get why people say 'british', implying britain is one country when it's actually three =S And why no-one ever says UK accents..hmm..-ponders for a while- im surprised no-one has said chavs yet = it's the first thing that springs to mind for me, unfortunately. x

Robin Hood

Cloudy, rainy, big ben, the queen, a country with traditions

Arrogance. Unquestioned traditions. A caste system. Snobbish people. Tabloids devoted to the last fart of the elite.

The ceiling needs painting.

Bad food, bad teeth and bad weather.

Double decker buses with no drivers on the top...lol

The best place in the world (and the rain)

Bangers and mash or fish and chips.

Royal Guards with those big puffy black hats, Dr. Who telephone booths, Tea, fine porcelain, Arsenal (yahooo!!) and STELLA ARTOIS!!!!

I'm not saying his in any negative way. I'd love to hop the pond for a visit! Love the various regional accents, especially when coming out of a womans mouth. When I think of England I think of rainy weather, bad food and bad teeth. Sorry. I could never ask this question if I replaced England with the U.S. I'd be too afraid of what I'd get for answers from people outside of my country. :)

Alfred the grate inventer of fireplaces

Flags. It is Eddie Izzards fault.

sHITE SHITE SHITE, THIS IS THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE GOVERNING WORLD ...WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OF AGE I USED TO BE SO PROUD TO BE ENGLISH I USED TO LOVE TO SEE THE ENGLISH FLAG ANYWHERE...NOW I SEE A CORRUPT PEOPE WHO WILL LIE.....

YOU ARE ALL THIEVES, STAND BY eNGLAND AND KILL FOR MONEY GO ON YOU HAVE DONE IT FOR THE PAST 300 YEARS, SO WHY CHANGE, WHY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T. I HATE MY COUNTRY AND THE PICTURES I HAVE HOPEFULLY WILL PROVE TO THE PEOPLE THAT THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT WILL KILL FOR MONEY...YOU HAVE THIS COUNTRY BELIEVING YOU FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! YOU ARE ON THIS WEBSITE EVERYDAY WHEN ALL ALONG YOU FIGHT FOR MONEY AND GREED PURE AND DISGUTING GREED, I WILL BRING YOU DOWN

Ale,fish and chips, curry, rain, green fields, the longbow, content pets (I was born in Cheshire), the only European peoples not to be truly beaten in war and occupied in nearly a thousand years, common law, free trade, America,Canada, New Zealand, Australia, boxing,cricket,football and giving the World the words 'fuck off'. O shit I forget to mention - beating the shit out of the French! lol

Going home.

It great to see what people think of England from other countries, Im assuming mostly America? Really nice to see so many positives too. I don't get the teeth thing though, are there really that many more people over here with bad teeth? I hope not, thats rather embarrassing! I have lovely teeth BTW! Lol :) In answer to the question though, I think of our eccentricity, our history, our diversity and a strong entrepreneurial spirit....and the fact that being English means a hot cup of tea can solve most problems! At least these are the things Im proud of, sadly there are lots of things Im not at all proud of throughout history and more recently....

the country that caused my country so much pain and hurt and still does. every day. But then again I cannot hold a grudge on england, especially the people, the people are fine. Its just our history. And the queen, which i think is unnessisary. But that is my opinion. not forcing it on anyone.

Cold winters and warm beer

William Shakespeare and good literature

Sex. or more precisely "Just lie back and think of England".

Stuck up, flegmatic people, bad weather, annoying accent, teenage moms, the land of sluts, retarded football "fans", tea, Monty Python, taxes for the queen (that's so stupid). Ex-colonists. Shakespeare. Sherlock Holmes. Jack the ripper. ...

Sydney Opera House.

stabbings

Back roads to quaint villages and lots of green fields and trees.

I think of the British pop music invasion, royalty, the Thames river, cockney accent, Kings English, Trafalger Square, Cheerio,
