101 Great things about Britain.

You watch Breakfast News too?

We had an ice cream van breakdown in our street once. Us kids convinced ourselves that he'd have to give the icecream away, and sat on the kerb watching him like vultures.

Then he got the bloody van going and drove off.

Well our two year old is delighted by the arrival of the 'music van', and does a little dance to its tune! She has yet to work out its true purpose...

Sorry cchapman but you are being an ar$e and spoiling karen's genteel thread. Now go and play with yourself some lego. Or both

Argh, Lego is Danish! I'm sure there must be something from my childhood that is British!

I claimed bacon, I'm sure we can claim lego aswell. After all we are british and have the ability to write history any way we like it!

 

[karen.488walker]

Yes, that's what I thought about the list too.

The great british moan..."It's too hot" "It's too cold" where would we all be without them.
