What are the most British things you can think of?

Be it vinegar on chips or carpet in the toilets (I’ll never understand why that was a thing here).

Baked beans. We have aisles dedicated to them.

[Ammi]

…also great names for towns/villages etc…like Scratchy Bottom in Dorset…

[Ammi]

…and great pub names also…

[Ammi]

…it’s also such a British thing as well to see some people running/exercising or walking their dogs during the daytime when we’re having a heat wave…rather than early morning or evening…

Here's a breakdown of some popular and creative pub names:
Classic & Traditional:
The Red Lion: One of the most common pub names in England, often associated with royalty.
The Royal Oak: Another popular name with historical roots, referencing the oak tree where King Charles II hid.
The White Hart: Frequently seen, potentially linked to King Richard II's badge.
The Crown: A classic choice, often associated with the monarchy.
The King's Head/Queen's Head: Popular choices reflecting the monarchy.
The Rose & Crown: A common name, likely derived from royal imagery.
Creative & Whimsical:
The Drunken Duck: A fun, memorable name that often resonates with locals.
The Bucket of Blood: A more unusual and potentially dark name, but memorable.
The Camel & Artichoke: A quirky and unexpected combination.
The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn: A very long and unique name, possibly referencing a local historical group.
The Only Running Footman: A historical and slightly humorous name.
The Hairy Lemon: A playful and memorable name.
The Honest Politician: A name that could spark conversation.
The Office: A name that plays on the idea of a second "office" for those who frequent the pub.

Isn’t it odd that Helen Mirren the highly regarded , well respected , ‘experienced’ , actress was apparently the first actress to bare her ( ample) breasts on British TV !!
