I'm very excited to announce that my American nieces are coming over to visit in the summer, and I am relishing the opportunity to impress them with all things British.  You know, like Baltis and chicken korma.  :-)

If you had to make a list of the quintessential British things, what would they be?  Here are a few of my favourites:

- curry, cream tea, hot cross buns, tea cakes, rock cakes, puddings and pies.

- castles, stately homes, waxworks,

- indoor waterparks, October illuminations (neither very useful for summer visitors though)

- treeless hills and mountains, canal tow paths.

Anything else I've missed?  Answers on a postcard please! ;-)
