What is Britishness?

We end up debating this on a regular basis, but here's a BBC R4 show, by the superb Rory Bremner, which covers the topic with excellent humour.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0385n2f It's a new weekly show and episode one is all about Britishness.

I'm listening right now and highly recommend it.

I dunno, but Shoeburyness is that vaguely uncomfortable feeling you have when you sit on a toilet seat that is still warm from the previous user. According to the Meaning of Liff. Or I may just have made it up...
