Americans think Britain and England are interchangeable. They are so wrong. Do not have time or space to correct everything

Just got the programme through for my local club next season. Our 2nd competition is TYPICALLY BRITISH.

I've got a few ideas but I'm thinking that what I'm thinking is what a lot of others are thinking too.
So I'm asking Hedgehoggers (non U.K.) what do you think is typically British?

I'm thinking of RAIN, Sports Car (AH Frogeye Sprite or TR6), Red Telephone Kiosk (though none have phones in these days), Old London Bus, Full English Breakfast, Afternoon Tea etc.

Looking forward to hearing what 'forgieners' have to say!

It's my first year in the Intermediate classification and I want to make a statement.

Thanks.

Gardens
Thatched roofs
Rolling hills
Dover cliffs
Many local vocal accents
Pubs and the characters in them
Pomp and splendor
Castles
Old schools
Cute cars
Bizarre architecture from all ages
Stonehenge
Stoned youth
Resolve
Industry
Farming
Fishing villages
Eerie light of dreary weather days
Tradition for the sake of it
History

That would be the British Union Jack .

Great diagram.

So, what part of the diagram is considered British, the British Isles?

Indeed, the Sunbeam Tiger with a V-8 engine is a car with stories and is considered British, in my mind anyway.

I associate the dart board with British.

Many good ones, but how about those signs in the pavement at cross-walks to "Look Right" for your visitors. It saved my life!! Next, the Bobby with his night stick and/or blowing a whistle.
Good luck,
Bob

A blue police call box. Bonus points if David Tennant or Peter Davison or both are in the picture.

For me it is the Jaguar XKE roadster, Rolls Royce, Lotus cars, Healeys, 2 deck buses, black taxis and James Bond.

When I was in school, that Venn diagram was not correct.
