A union of four nations, England, Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland. Former world super power. But thanks to largely friendly links with it's former colonies still can hold a lot of clout over international opinion.
With in these nations there is a very rich cultural, historical and enthic diversity that attracts over 35 million visitors a year.
Sadly it's population are now mainly disillusioned with its internal political system and as a result we have a very pro Bush government ruling a very anti bush population. However the British people have their own way of dealing with their rogue leaders.

2.5 million people marched through London against Britains involvement in Gulf war 2 and other marches the same day involved another 4 million people. There wishes were ignored. A price Blair is now paying at the ballot box.

I'm proud of being british, i'm sure your proud of being patriotic too of your country.
I also thought the americans were our friends...obviously not, they seem to hate us for some reason judging by the amount of crap isults posted in this dictionary...

personally, I was interested into the amount of directed hate towards us by our american friends and thought why?
apart from our recent international relations with you with invasions against terror and other types, I thought, as a british citizen, that things were normal but instead a find abuse flying between minority groups of the urban dic-tionary from both our nations.
minority groups on your side seem to think that "we go around thinking we own the place", what bollucks, our empire days are over and only hope that it caused as much good as it did bad.
also, you seem to think we live in a mary poppins world with plummy accents; yeah, our accents are weird but we're proud of that :)
saying all this to a british guy and the remarks about bad teeth would just piss him off, becuase it stereotyping at it's worst.
I have a lot of american friends who arn't like certain groups in this dictionary, which is simpy, displaying the bad minorities of both our nations
peace people :)

Whats it like to be British? An understanding of subtle irony in comedy is very important as is a self depreciating sense of humour. Hating the French and most other Europeans would be an advantage but viewing the former colonys as "naughty children" when they start wars or international feuds etc. Manners and a sense of fair play are also very important. I personally do have bad teeth and see no real malice in americans making jokes about the british teeth (its just a joke!!)
Oh and on a final note we gave the French mad cow disease LOL!!!

People who everyone seems to think drinks tea and is all posh and upper class and are soft but seem to forget or don't seem to know that today's british are descended from ancient britons,british celts, woads etc etc-who are some of the fiercest people who ever lived
uneducated, ignorant moron- You're british you're a snotty tea-drinking idiot
British person- Fuck you, I'm descended from Woads, warriors who put woad juice on them to turn themselves blue and are like 7 foot tall! And would put the fear of god into you! Oh, and be glad Boudicca (yes that is it's proper spelling) can't hear you because if she could she'd get her chariot with swords on it's wheels and cut you in half!

Clearly there are people reading this who dislike the British. I would have to say that I myself am English, and always ensure that I discern between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I have good teeth (though the NHS dentistry is a bit of a running joke these days)
I'm not gay, but neither am I homophobic, and infact have several gay friends (who I am not, by the way, completely paranoid about to the point where I stand with my back to the wall every time I meet them).
I think one of the most important characteristics of the British is our ability to not take ourselves too seriously.
I laugh at some of the comments on here; yes I am sure we often give off the "higher than thou" vibe, and I can see why many other cultures would resent us, and yes we have "mingers" just like everyone else. But water off a ducks back guys!
The way I see it, we know we're damn good, we just don't feel the need to show off :-)
