Museum of Britishness
Jump to: Newest in thread
So we’re opening up a museum of Britishness for foreign visitors to our shores.
You can put forward 5 items that will explain best what it means to be British to help them understand.
Lighthearted or serious or a mix
For example it good be a full English breakfast, mug of tea, queuing, curry etc so it hasn’t got to be invented here but it must be part of our makeup now |

"Tea - solves everything.
A queue - civil society
An umbrella - everything is based on the weather
Joanna Lumley - why not
A copy of The Hobbit - because it's awesome"
This, but swap Joanna Lumley for Helen Mirren or Judi Dench. |

I think most importantly that road outside should be closed for roadworks. A large collection of traffic cones and diversion signs and absolutely no work being done just 2 vans with the lads sat inside playing on their phones. |
