Besides, Malt Vinegar, Monty Python, Games Workshop, Queen, Pink Floyd, and the Beatles I have discovered England's greatest achievement ever.
Sherbet Lemon.
Today while picking up a couple of
Milka Bars.I discovered a great treat. That would be the Sherbet Lemon. At first I though Hmm, English Lemon Drops. Then I realized they contained Sherbet and that got me intrigued. So I bought a pack and on the way home popped one into my mouth. So tasty.
All I can say is Thank you England. Thank You.

nah, I still reckon their greatest achievement was when they packed their best and brightest up and sent them off to a distant land in 1788.

They didn't become a British colony until 1840. Nice try.

You also forgot Jaffa Cakes, Blackadder, driving on the correct side of the road and history textbooks that have events from
over 300 years ago...

That's only because they couldn't send them west anymore.

Jaffa cakes= not great.
I found some
Bought some ate one.two..three
then wondered why the hell anyone would want another.
Dry sponge cake and flavorless chocolate,
the only redeeming factor was the orange marmalade gelatin stuff.
Give me a Girl Scout cookie any day.
I do like the candy bar, I think it's called Aero

You're just mad that your country was founded by psychopaths and serial killers.

Australia: the only country where a criminal record is an entry qualification.

Certaintly explains why so many of you poms come out here backpacking. Need to get away while the heat dies down huh?
(I wish you people would realise the whole "Australia was founded by thieves and murderers" thing is the lamest way to insult me. I'm quite proud of what this country has become from what it was founded on so ner!)

Sheffield has something called Henderson's Relish, which is quite tasty. The closest condiment to it in terms of flavour is probably Worcestershire Sauce / Worcester sauce.
We also have Miranda Richardson, afternoon tea, Joanna Trollope, the Queen's English and R.P., the South West, Anthony Stewart Head and disgruntlement.
Shamefully, we have Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, lager louts, the South East and a Labour government.

Top Gear is fantastic so no badmouthing Motormouth Clarkson, please.
We also have Doctor Who, jelly babies, black pudding, pubs and the letter "U"...

Diagree, agree, undecided, agree, agree!
I still can't stand that moronic Clarkson, though.
