Perrenial over achievers
The British Empire,was largest ever by land mass and population(do your research deniers).The English language most wideley spoken(it is the global language).5th largest GDP from the 22nd largest population.7 out of the top 22 music acts of all time(the Us has 5) again out of our meagre population(Beatles,Bee Gees,Cliff Richard,Elton John,Led Zep,Pink Floyd,The Rolling Stones).We are not world leaders in many sports but we punch above our weight in many(not just sports we invented and only we play and then call our finals "world series").And by the way for the above Yank I think you will find nobody invented Electricity and the Germans invented the first decent internal combustion motor car.to finish Britain is indeed great because it consistantly punches above its weight in so many different areas like no other country.Biggest is not always best.

Britain - a country where it's normal for old men to stand outside the pub having a fag; straight men like sex with a fanny; engines are found under a bonnet; da hood is on the back of da coat; big booty goes on your big foot; dogging doesn't involve any canines; getting a good fisting means pain not pleasure; randy will never be a boys name; and we really love bums.
fag = cigarette, fanny = vagina, bonnet=car hood, dogging=outdoor group voyeur sex, fisting=punch, randy=aroused, bums=ass. Britain, Britain, 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.

A country by which all others set their standards. For such a small nation it's economic and political power is immense. Most things that were worth inventing were invented by the British including football (soccer for you Yanks) and spotted Dick. God save the Queen!
Bill "Hey John, i think Britain is a much better country than the U.S."
John "I agree, it's not full of wankers for a start"

The only place where everybody is a fighting machine, and has everything packed into a small area....
It has the glorius wales with huge hills and green grass, with cliffs bigger than average sized houses, and where most raw materials come from and probably the proudest country in the world.
Ireland with its loveable culture and large heritage,providing a lot of manpower..(it is the 3rd largest island in europe!)
The brute toughness of Scotland, where there are huge mountains and most of the british army, with one of the best rugby teams today.
And finally the English the Patriotic ones. Creating football and rugby and home to many musicians and other talented people and where there are people shouting at the telly about the football.
well you've probably guessed im british... i am aswell. i come from wales. so stop arguing about what country is crap and which is good, lets all be one nation together, BRITAIN!

A wonderful country that is NOT full of:
1) Bad food (thats a steryotype made after W.W.II when Britain went into a depression)
2) Bad teeth
3) Crumpets (even though they are nice, biscuits and scones are a much more popular tea-treat)
4) "Crazy Accents and words" if americans wanted to use the ENGLISH language, they should not consider the original words and accent "weird"
5) Full of stuck-up bastards, I happen to have lived in England for the first 11 years of my life, and having a foreign family and living in a lower middle class did not mean i was ever insulted by people or made to feel unloved, i truly love the countries (plural) of britain
I also now live in America. Even though i did mention America before, I do think this is a great country too. what happened to being freaking ALLIES?
