You could argue the toss and provide thousands of words that would not have sufficient gravitas amd depth to describe British culture


It is better to identify a moment in time, a happening, an event that are a better fit as answer


I nominate The nightly massed piss taking of facile septic turdster David Blane every night for a month at London bridge.


This would not have happened in any other country of the world

Negativity.........I positively disagree with this, for starters..


Greyness in terms of complexion, spirit and weather...... our complexion is getting darker, our spirit is indominitable and it was 57 Degrees t'other day, in February!



Soggy food........Some of the greatest variety in The World in London to choose from.(Not all "British" though)...:))



Bizarre, unfounded sense of superiority.....Well we did produce the finest Legal Document of them all, The Magna Carta nearly 800 years ago in Runnymede and by the 16th Century we had the Finest Universities in the World (with The Sorbonne) and The "Mother Of All Parliaments and The finest Theatres in the World.


The ratio of the things we invented to our population, compared to any other Nation was, at one time, the highest in The World, I would have thought, by some distance.


Sarcasm....Nah! Satire, oddball, dark, dry,deadpan, black and a myriad of other types of humour can be found in Britain, generally acknowledged as the Home Of Comedy Worldwide through the latter part of the 20th Century.


Apathy....Can't be bothered to reply to that...


Dampness and moistness......Our Men CAN be "damp".Our Women, lets leave it there, shall we...


Enjoyment of seeing others fail.....Schadenfreude! That word suggests other Nations posses the same trait....

    • Set of keys found in Peckham Rye park this morning. Handed to the cafe by the playground.
    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
