    History: The British Armada, battle of Trafalgar and Nelson, and 1066 (Mom always made SURE we knew 1066; funny, it never came up on OUR history exams, he he.) Celtic warriors. The Bruce!

    Ellie, what does the RE stand for? No one else asked, I must be the only doofus who can't figure it out.

    The accent, of course, like "hour" being pronounced as "Ahhh" -
    "This is Owen Bennett-Jones of News ahhh" on the BBC.

    Which remind me - double last names - Owen Bennett-Jones,
    Jonathan Rhys-Davies (I know, he's technically Welsh) and the like, often seem very English.

    British humor, both the extra-dry "is she pulling my leg?" variant and the broad, earthy, potty-joke, unconvincing-drag silly version!

    Morris dancing and mumming

    Guy Fawkes Day

    Fox hunting

    English style riding

    And of course ENGLISH ALE!
