I think I read somewhere that the majority of the world's drug takers and criminals have come from Scotland
You're right - there WAS a typo.............

Someone else beat to the sense of entitlement rather than laziness.
On the history side all nations have done wrong, we certainly were not the first nation to invade people, take slaves or get involved in wars - if you look up the good things Britain gave to the world it outweighs the bad.

Re: What is British culture?
Top:
1) The fact that we as a nation still broadly support the NHS and are happy to be taxed for it (but nothing else of course)
2) The ability to drink 8 pints (standing up of course) and still eat a curry afterwards
3) When the sun comes out so do the women
4) British humor is the sharpest and most intelligent in the world
5) Divide and conquer - only we know how to do this properly.
Bottom:
1) The bloody whining
2) The media and the fact that people watch TV 5 hours a day
3) 'Elf and Safety and the nanny state

HUMOUR, Millhouse, not HUMOR! Humor is a curious American abberation.

Top 3:
Sense of fair play
Living heritage
Island mentality
Bottom 3:
Liberalism gone mad
Unbridled loutism
Pale, dimpled, un-toned thighs

I love the pale legs that you see on a sunny day. They never fail to bring a smile to my face. They are so pale they are almost blue.

Re: What is British culture?
my legs are still blue- incapable of tanning- they do burn however- still browner than they were but still reflect the sun
