We always wonder what people imagine when they think of England, particularly the ones who have never been there.
Probably tea, poor dental hygiene, and the Queen. Right?
According to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) the British actually has the healthiest teeth in the world. IN THE WORLD.

But we're still left with the Queen. Queen Elizabeth, who was crowned queen 53 years ago yesterday. God Save The Queen. Something.
Honestly, we're not interested in her, not interested in British Royalty at all, it's mostly symbolic anyway, and they are just people born into privilege - with some fucked up, excuse our language, history. About four hundred years ago they ruled that the government can overrule the monarchy, and they became a democratic country.
So, in the meantime, tea and the Queen, because you can't dispute the importance of tea to a Brit.
Oh, and you must'nt forget...The Monty Python (a fantastic British Sketch Comedy troupe)
Responsible for such awesome films as The Life of Brian. Here's a sample!
