Some of the best actors and actresses, comedians, films and TV.
I like the way we are able to laugh at ourselves, our pomposity and utter ridiculousness.
Others may call us "Island Apes" ... "A Nation of shopkeepers" ... "The Roast Bifs" .... mock our obsession with the weather, our non-bleached teeth, our allegedly dismal cuisine, our degenerate and lingering sense of Empire, our cold stiff-upper-lip manner, our Lager Louts, our grudging acceptance of standing in orderly queues, waving our little flags for the last Night of the Proms .... and all the other quintessentially British peccadillos - but we don't care because we laugh at all this ourselves without getting upset and defensive about it.

Double decker buses (quick story, one time when I lived in Alaska in a small fishing village a double decker bus came through. It was a crazy thing to see.)

I have a confession....I've never had a chip butty.
But I have added plain salted crisps to a cheese sandwich made with extra mature cheddar of course!
