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....

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
