Little Britain

A TV show which is basically the league of gentlemen spread out over the rest of Britian. Zany and dark in part, but hilarious in every way, like the League- most characters are played by the smae two actors. A must see.
Little Britian is almost as good as the League.

for Britain!

Used sarcastically/mokingly: When someone does something so well or often that they could represent Britain in the Olympics (or other national event) if the activity that they are good at were an Olympic sport or similar.

Britain

Composed of England, Scotland, Wales and NORTHERN Ireland (yes, NORTHERN Ireland, as IRELAND is NOT part of Britain), Britain is not to be confused with England, a mistake which Americans usually make, usually due to their ignorance.
There is no such accent as a 'British' accent, unless you can do an English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish accent all at once, including all the different towns and cities with their indivudual accents.
Remember;

It's BRITAIN not ENGLAND

Britain is composed of Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales

It's NORTHERN IRELAND not IRELAND
