Train Spotters <br />Bobbies on the beat <br />Fish and Chip shops <br />and Coronation Street. <br />Regional accents <br />a Milkman on his round <br />Bowler hatted business men <br />stores that sell stuff for a pound. <br />A nation of Dog lovers <br />lines of people in a queue <br />keeping a stiff upper lip <br />the working class and well-to-do. <br />People on Allotments <br />a Car Boot sale <br />eccentrics and oddballs <br />Pubs that serve Real Ale. <br />Traditional Sunday Roast <br />contaminated meat <br />unpredictable weather <br />moaning about the heat. <br />Eyes down for a full house <br />down at the Bingo hall <br />the annual Boat Race <br />Cricket, Rugby, Football. <br />So this is our British Isles <br />what a unique place to be <br />where all conflict is settled <br />over a nice cup of Tea!<br /><br />Kevin Halls<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-best-or-worst-of-being-british/
