Re: Great British websites
I don't think this place has a website but here's a page of reviews. This is where you get healthy English food - all you can eat for 3.95 pounds No need for brown or red sauce here!!

Anyone been to Drummond Street (near Euston)? The Ravi Shankar (restaurant there) always made me chuckle - Indian rhyming slang, surely!

Tonrob beat me to it with the tea and biscuits site.
Youtube's not British but Bill Bailey is, and he's very funny:
Cockney Music

Foreign Ambulance Sirens (you kinda need to speak French to follow this to the end)

The Brits can be strange folk - obsessive even. Here's a fantastic website made by British followers of a certain Indian starter...

Re: Great British websites
Now and again I stumble upon a fantastic website that's so British in nature I can't help but feel a tad homesick.
Here's today's gem:
http://russelldavies.typepad.com/eggbaconchipsandbeans/
Red sauce, and piping hot tea.....
Does anyone else have their own examples?

Re: Great British websites
I'll let you off this time.
I'm pretty sure this one's British, I can't imagine Americans getting this excited about cheese.

Prestatyn - where Liverpool goes on holiday. Years back I used to run the gauntlet to get to Prestatyn to go to a rather nice curry house. Not much else to recommend the place, as I recall. Well, apart from the fact that it's not Rhyl....

I don't remember much about it at all except I was glad when I left I seem to recall there being a good curry house up there though.

Er..the bit about chasing the cheese down the steep hill...I have to concede...the Americans don't get quite THAT excited about cheese. (I don't think..lol)

Re: Great British websites
This site always makes me nostalgic for England's picturesque & unspoilt small towns.

Re: Great British websites
OK here's a good one.
http://www.countrybus.org.uk/
Was reminded of this site by the excellent YouTube film of London buses in 1950 posted on another thread.
You get a sense of the wonderful English pedantry of this site by this note;
"Prepared in Notepad..Best on Mozilla Firefox, screen size 800*600."
(Each of the coloured boxes to the left of the picture of the bus, is a link to a detailed page about the different LT bus types..)
