100 Things I Love About Britain Part.1

So I've decided to do a series documenting 100 things I love about Britain. I'm a born and bred Sri Lankan girl exchanging my flip flops to rain boots, family and boyfriend for economics and finance and temporarily living in the UK for 3.5 years. You guys want to do your own series like this then feel free, it would be fun to see the reasons you love where you live, at least temporarily. :)  

#1 Full English Breakfasts.
When I went to America they seemed to find it weird that the Brits eat beans with their breakfast.

#2  Sunday Roasts.

#3 Harry Potter.

OK, so everyone grew up with this series, so really it belongs to everyone, but the fact is - an englishwoman created this, and therefore it definitely is part of their heritage. 

#4 The Royal Family.

Mostly they're boring. But sometimes we get some pretty good scandals out of them, such as 'who is really Harry's father?' and 'did the queen kill Diana?' Always fun to read about.

Also, how good was that wedding last year? And how cute is Prince Harry? 

#5 Indie music.

Because indie boys do it better. At least, they did when I first came to this country.

#6 You can be anywhere in the country within a few hours.

#7 They have some really good animal charities, Cats Protection and the RSPCA to name but a few.

#8 Walks in the countryside, and lunch at country pubs.

#9 Tea

Because who needs coffee?

#10 Only Fools and Horses.
Arguably the most classic of all British comedies, this programme is amazing. I used to watch a few episodes here and there, whenever it's on the Gold channel.

#11 Mr Kipling's exceedingly good cakes.
The ones pictured are called, angel slices. My favourites also include lemon slices and french fancies. SO good! 

#12 The need to layer.
England is absolutely freezing, and the only consolation is that I can layer my clothes, which I LOVE doing. 

#13 London.

#14 Jude Law.
The most beautiful man in the world, with the most beautiful voice.  Yum!

#15  Fish and chips.

#16 In England, everything can be solved by a trip to the pub.

#17 British boys.
I hate to burst the bubble ladies. But only London boys have the sexy accent, and it's mainly the gay men that will call you 'love'.

#18 The interesting history.

When I saw The Iron Lady, which has given me a new found appreciation for Margaret Thatcher. Far from the evil witch I've been lead to believe she was, she actually came across as very inspiring.

However, I wasn't around when she was in power,  so if you disagree with my conclusion then please, No hate mail.

#19 The Inbetweeners.

If you've never seen the Inbetweeners, then seriously, you HAVE TO SEE THE INBETWEENERS. These boys remind me of some of my male friends at uni, which makes this show even more hilarious for me. 

#20 Their cats are cute.

I imagine cats are cute everywhere. I know in Sri Lanka we have our very own  gorgeous, stray cats. But the fact of the matter is that I get to see the ones in UK every day.  So they win. :D
