UK! What pops into your head?

[Pekka]

Well we did this with the US and now we're doing it with the one and only UK. What comes to your mind? I really like UK, it's one of my most favourite places in the world and all that is UK.

Funny accent.

Fish and chips!! Mummm... beer. Lots of beer.

Bad teeth and even worse food.

Big Ben .. Westminster.. all kinds of nice buildings and London. Red doubledecker buses..

Before WWII, GLOOORYYYYY. Post war industrial UK -> Hmmmm.. ok I think we can still work something.

Weird houses and workers part of cities.

Extacy and raves It comes from here people!

The Prodigy.

Polite people. Lot of rain but they cope with it surprisingly well, meaning they are not mass suiciding each other. Weird.

Football. Hoolies. Raving. Rock music. Trends. Pound and the Queen. Soldiers with funny hats.

London Bobby Friendly cops. Friendly military, they take you prisoner and give you cup of tea and the latest rumours on the football scene and call you mate. Only after then they will beat you, but they will apologize later on. They call you a nice lad, and they would be buddies with you unless the war.. then they beat you again.

Great nightlife, though little on the expensive side.

Funny, comedy, find the gems 80% is still ****e .

Ugly buildings, ugly people, uglier food.

i think different things pop into peoples' heads depending on if you say England, Britain, or United Kingdom.

A lot of people don't even know the difference (here on Apolyton they do, but 'out there')...

My guess is that most people outside thinks that those are equal. I know that there are a difference but i also know a lot of people that don't care.

Watch out !!! Our royal guards also wear what you call "funny hats" - i don't know who stole it from who.

Rain, of course it rains

You jester about monarchy, well we have one also (older than the british ) and looking at how presidents around the world do stupid things, i'm relived that we have a queen.

Many here don't care either. On various official forms I'm English, British or a UK citizen.
