the other day my mate said there might be a new bank holiday as a day to celebrate britain so we started to try and think of very british things and all we could come up with was chavs and food! (bangers and mash, mushy peas ect)

queuing,cream tea,the queen I know other countries have queens but the royal family is instantly recognisable as British,the seaside,village fairs,wimbledon,strawberries and cream,old fashioned police man,Dr who,croquet,polo(not the mints hehe)

if youre in nottingham... go nottingham castle haha.

i've got a bowler hat you can borrow. it isnt a proper one but looks real enough heh.

what about crumpets. or yorkshire puddings. oh gosh i dont know anything else :S

Black Cabs
Thatched Country Pubs
13c Chuches with Spire
Cricket on the Green
Old Fashioned Buses(you must have a museum)
A Hunt Scene,although I don't want to get drawn into that argument.
Post Office (almost)
The BBC
Police Constables, in their oldstyle helmet.
Railway Stations, most countries don't have their platforms at carriage height like us.
Lollypop Ladies, school crossing

You could have a look at Welcome to ICONS - Icons of England which is a website dedicated to nominating English Icons. Admittedly it is specifically English, not British, but it has everything on there... HP Sauce, Alice in Wonderland, Wellies, the Womens Institute.... so it could spark some ideas for you.

streaky orange tan slappers, skin heads with no t-shirts using a st georges flag as a cape,mancy keebabs, special brew, asbos, - ,,,, now outside of burnley.

I like the afternoon tea idea. it could be a little cheesecake.

H.P and yorkshire puds , mmmmm -

FISH AND CHIPS X the food of britan.

It's be a little naughtier than afternoon tea the inuendose are cheeky enough.

Maybe bangers and mash. - Im hungry now. ( Booo )

Hahaha !!! You just described San Antonio Bay- Ibiza, if you swap the special brew for san Miguel and the Asbos for sun burn!!!!!!!!!!

Damn I wish I was going on holiday this year :-(


I like the idea of a cricket or maybe golf themed shoot???

You could do the whole Tennis girl with no knickers thing.... I do believe those posters are back on sale now for £300 a piece!!!!!

If you're in Nottingham, try Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem by the castle, it's something like the oldest pub in the country and is sure to have horse brasses and stuff! Being built half inside a cave might not make it look too British though - but I believe the name is a reference to the Crusades ...

Again, without getting into the hunting debate, a shoot wearing a hunting jacket, carrying a bugle and a whip would be really cute and very british
