The UN is inviting countries to add tangible or intangible examples of our cultural heritage to a list they are compiling.

So we can add examples like Pantomime, Morris dancing, folk lore etc.

I think that I would add English literature -

Black cabs and red buses

Absolutely.

In London - but why does England (and indeed the U.K.) have to be so London-centric?

No - butter, jam and then cream

Irony
Music
Literature

I couldn't possibly comment on the heresy of putting butter on first grin Should we continue on whether it's a scone to rhyme with cone, or a scone to rhyme with gone? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
