Fish & chips.
Are national sports teams are rubbish but the England rugby team may have resurrected as they thrashed Scotland on Saturday [Jonny Wilkinson is back]

In the 11th century England was ruled by some very great Viking Kings including Svein Fork-beard and his son Cnut the Great.
The capital city is London but it has been at several other places over history including York and Winchester.
The original inhabitants of Scotland were called Picts. The Scots were originally from Ireland and conquered Scotland.
The most popular take away meal in Britain is curry, the second most popular is fried fish.
Scotland is the only nation in the world where Irn Bru is a more popular carbonated drink than Coca Cola, indeed it is the only country in Europe in which Coca Cola is not the most popular carbonated drink.
A 5 pence coin is sometimes called a shilling. Originally a shilling was worth 12 pence and there were 240 pence in a pound and 252 pence in a guinea.
I hope you like these facts.

We love Tea!! We drink it with milk while the rest of Europe drinks it without.
We are highly skilled at being bad at every sport, even though we think the next international sporting event will be when we will turn things around...but we never do.
St Georges day is the only saints day in the UK (Scotland =St Andrews, Wales= St Davids, Ireland =St Patricks) that is not acknowledged as a national holiday.
London Underground is the oldest and largest tube network in the world.
We are happy to pay $200 US dollars (approximately) every year for BBC channels for every household whether we watch them or not.

England is lovely, but we are overcrowded now, so I wouldn't come here. The towns are overrun with yobs and we are rapidly turning into a police state.
Some people answering are surprised we speak English !Considering we invented the language, that's no surprise. We do not have an accent. How could we ?Foreigners do, and there are enough of those f*****s already.

You have to learn to drink loads a beer out of pint glass followed by chasers or alco pops until you are unable to walk on a Friday and Saturday night. You must burp and fart in public, go out looking stylish (tarty) and get home half undresses with messy makeup and hair and holes in tights and one shoe. Then you should be able to fit in quite well.

The soviets have taken over the UK. They have installed a puppet government of which the 'leader' is one "Prezident Blair"
The KGB lurk on motorways pointing laser devices at innocent people trying to travel. Yobs murder people who don't support the Commie regime in dark alleys. And so on it goes...
