The UK is great:
a) It does not have poisonous or wild beasties in the back garden as a rule,
b) The nation is (in the majority) very tolerant and welcoming to different peoples - if you doubt this go to the land of the free US
c) British people believe in fair play - it's an island mentality
d) We always love an underdog
e) Our skin is better than those who live in the Med and bake all day
f) We have a welfare state (not as good as it was) but having experienced others not being given decent care because they hadn't paid the right thing then you appreciate it
g) We are a democracy
h) We produce the best musicians, artists, actors
Most importantly us Brits believe most problems can be solved over a cup of tea.....!

The strange guy that rides around on his bike in my town with a dead pigeon tied to the front of it - makes me laugh every time.
Seriously though, I'm only a few minutes away from the most dramatic cliff faces in the country as well as the point where the first trans-atlantic telegraph message was sent - it's good to feel a part of history, after all Britian more or less built the modern world.

The Pub. Name a country that has perfected the art of the licensed premises any better.
The Weather. Always mild and variable.
The English Countryside.
Our Sense of Humour.
I would miss all this if I lived abroad. Has Australia really got that much to offer?

The sense of humour, the diversity - great choice of restaurants, pubs in the countryside in a beer garden on a sunny day, choice of shops (from high street to designer), cups of tea, our chocolate esp dairy milk, is heaps better than lots of other countries like the u.s/australia.

Everything. I am currently living in NY and the UK is so much better in terms of education, health, cost of living, tea, bread, cheese etc.

Very little , the place seems full of weirdo's wasters and benefit experts.The law is a joke , employment is temporary and happiness is out of stock at Argos.
However the tea is good and being close to the sea is nice.

The sense of humour nearly everybody's got it and the bad text jokes about any subject you want to name.
