It's the only place that uses the English language properly, but do excuse the accents, could be worse though, could be speaking like the silly aussies and Americans.

Get the Britan mug.The greatest of all nations on this earth; Britain has contributed so much to the world today as we know it. Also arguably one of the most belligerent nations, having had conflicts with France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Argentina, itself (i.e England against Scotland) and Ireland (to name only a few!) during its long and fascinating history. Many nations around the world have a real dislike of Britain, due to its resounding successes, a clear example of this being France. Britain invented ALL of the world's best sports; these include football (the real version), cricket, rugby and golf. The unrivalled leader of the ENGLISH speaking world, Britain has seen its native tongue corrupted by Americans and Australians amongst others. Although the era has passed when Britain ruled almost half of the world's population, its forever remains the benchmark for every country on all of the six continents.
