Cultural Heritage

Agree, and yet, most countries can boast 'literature' too.

British humour?

Children's street games and nursury rhymes. Now sadly all but gone.

Queuing!

Which country ?

Anniebach

Which country ?

I think that as it will be the UK government they will be asking for representation from all 4 countries.

I think that we can claim both cricket (started in the Weald) and soccer as our cultural heritage.

Drinking tea, with milk
Pantomime
Morris Dancing
Shakespeare
Pubs
Fish and chips

The Anglican Church

And Rugby.

Don’t they have more important things to do, and to spend their money on, especially at the moment?

Agree with Whitewave re football and cricket, but also rugby, played a lot in Wales, but it actually started, so I’m told, at Rugby School. Cricket started off properly at Hambledon, which is about ten minutes from where I live.

Fish and chips isn’t really a U.K. dish it has been appropriated from other cultures I believe Portugal and also from Jewish immigrants and adapted

I agree GSM (this is getting a bit if a habit now, us agreeing I mean) what a waste of time, money and resources
I believe curry is the favourite national dish now!
If we live in a multicultural society, why are we looking at things like tea drinking or dancing round the maypole in long skirts and daisy chains around our heads ??and what’s the point

Who was the comedian who used to mimic sniffy women with their arms akimbo under their bosoms!!!
Aka Les Dawson 😄😄

It is just a bit of fun looking at what makes us British!

Bards & Eisteddfods

Rugby

Anniebach

Bards & Eisteddfods

Yes definitely some Celtic heritage should be included.

Welsh language - particularly as no other bugger can understand it 😄

Actually I’m off out in a few minutes to

Afternoon Tea!!

Do other countries go Wassailing?

If not

Wassailing.

I find culture and cultural norms fascinating.

I took part in an interesting experiment at university, which was used by the USA military to teach their officers about the complexity of culture.

You were introduced to a group of people who were told how to act to just 6 simple cultural accepted practice. You as the stranger had no idea what they were. It was almost impossible to understand these rules. It is the nuances of these rules that were so difficult.

I will add for Wales

Castles, Welsh Cakes and Male Voice Choirs

Gardeners. We are a nation of gardeners

Bagpipes, ceilidhs, brass bands, trooping the colour, Beefeaters.

akimbo means stuck out on either side which means their bosoms must be in a very odd place
