<p>I live in Britain. We’re famous for:</p>
<p>-football. And football. And more football. Most British teenagers have an obsession with football. There’s this funny song we have titled “Football Comin’ 'Ome.”</p>
<p>-binge drinking. Sadly.</p>
<p>-celebrity culture - we have a plethora of magazines on the subject;</p>
<p>-the Queen, Buckingham Palace, and so forth; contrary to popular belief, most of us here haven’t actually met, or even seen, the Queen. Or a Duke. Or a Countess.</p>
<p>-London, which attracts most of Britain’s tourists. IMO, the most beautiful city in the world, especially at night.</p>
<p>-the so-called “British accent”, which pretty much everyone in the UK, myself included, happens to possess; I don’t see why people from other countries make it out to be such a big thing</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what are all your impressions of Britain? Having lived in the country all my life, I could only guess as to what it’s famous for.</p>
<p>python38 ,
Man Untied will win 3rd title in a row :)</p>
<p>Heh, I must be the only person in Britain who doesn’t support a football team, lol :).</p>
<p>And what’s “Man Untied?” - isn’t it “Man United?” :D</p>
<p>Pakistan: Famous for having the highest peaks (Note to Nepal: i said peaks with an s… you have a dozen high mountains and the highest ofcourse but we have 100+ very high mountains)
Cheap pirated dvds/games, food, culture, archeological sites, place where the largest land mammal fossils were found, blind dolphins.</p>
<p>Pakistan: </p>
<p>Biggest con: bribery will take you anywhere
Biggest pro: read above</p>
<p>python38: I love British accents!</p>
<p>Well, personally, I don’t see what the fuss is about them. I mean, I’m a girl with an accent, so what? Everyone has some kind of accent, Americans included. :/</p>
<p>@aak: LOL! :)</p>
<p>Yees ,it is Man United
see my nick ;]
I ve heard that British girls just love the British accent ![]()
It is somehow very different,everyone can see the difference.
And people in London speak so fast ,that I could hardly understand anything</p>
<p>British girls just love the British accent</p>
<p>that doesn’t make sense, although a lot of my friends (girls that is) like British accent XD</p>
