Default British present for a Canadian?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good Brit-themed present for a Canadian? I am going over to visit a family friend and wanted to take them a present.

Thanks!

Ah yes, that classic British locomotive tradition.

No Cadburys over there? I better not let them know what they are missing...

What kind of fishing do they do? There's some great British tackle.

Box set of Till Death Us Do Part with Alf Garnett.
This should give Canadians a rare insight into how tolerant Brits were of people from different ethnic backgrounds in the 60s & 70s.
Would they even allow a series like that on TV nowadays?
