English culture is unique. It's shaped through centuries of being secure from invasion and through the language we speak. This contributes to the national character that most unconsciously have. It's fast being eroded by eastern influences which will continue to ruin this once great country.
Tea drinking
Self deprecating
Pothole avoiding
Saying sorry, please
Love of queuing
Cricket loving
Walking t'dog
Not complaining
Stiff upper lip
Dry wit and humour
Gardening crazy
Politeness
Seasonal traditions
Ability to buy fireworks year round
Acceptance of tasteless food

Classic examples of how currently English culture means we are blind to things that are going to remove that very thing from us:
Driving standards going to pot, this is England not Pakistan or Turkey
Littering - getting worse every year, in line with immigration from 3rd world countries and general lack of moral standards
Capital of Culture - giving this to Bradford is an absolute joke
We can all work together to preserve the good parts

It is a melange. It's also the language we speak now and have spread to our great empire/commonwealth and the USA. Fair to say that the British empire actually has shaped our culture hugely.

Haha gotcha Tomww. Never had had a flag or done any flag waving. Of course, you would rather the UK be a Gazan haven than retain it's culture
