The title says it all, what do you think of Britain?
What is the first image that comes to mind?

A cold, rainy island filled of people with strange accents whose leader is a Bush lackey.

The first image that comes to mind has two red dots on? Interesting...
First thing I think of is my house. Don't have a picture of it to show, sadly.

Why isn't Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United on the list along with Cadbury chocolate, Maltesers, Toffos and Polo mints? :)

That :D
I love being British. Who wants a cup of tea?
But, since "REAL" pubs rock so much, that is the option I choose. But the Map is definately number one

None of the above spring to mind when i think of Britain. When i think of Britain, i think of a racially diverse, tolerant nation, i think of Tony Benn and Lenny Henry, i think of Hanif Kurieshi and Elbow, i think of Grant Morrisson and PJ Harvey, i think of Jarvis Cocker and Richard Burton, i think of Nye Bevan and Arthur Scargill, i think of Thomas Paine and George Melly, i think of Peter Kay and Peter Snow, i think of crusty old Oxford dons and blinging Brixton street girls, i think of taciturn Yorkshiremen and a drunken Scots girl i once slept with, i think of ooooh, i dunno, much of my life :)

The Tube.
That and the spotty tween bastard I had to step over as he was begging by the tube staircase.
You can't imagine the words that came out of his mouth when, rather than a Quid, I gave him a recruitment business card I got from a Sgt.Major in Scotland. :D

other things that come to mind:
Hugh Grant (Heew Grahnt)
English Premier League soccer
Beef Wellington
the germanic/nordic migrations and how they've shaped the island of britannia
Our country is so shit. Archaic and decadent in every way.

Good one
The first image that comes to my mind is green English countryside in summer, and a feeling of home. And THEN I think about going off a-hunting down the Pub.

I think of wry English humor, actually.
That and, since I am such a history buff, their historical legacy.

I think of the food, actually. The main thing that keeps me from wanting to spend a month or two there, is that, at some point, I might accidentally eat some Blood Pudding. I am so sorry, m'dear dear Syawla, it appears that our paths may never cross and your illustrious glory shall now and forever only shine up my feeble heart through the pathway known as David McIntarweb III.

The Royal Family, punk rock, clouds & moisture. And the Union Jack Flag. It's a pretty flag.

Their historical legacy... :D you mean how they pretty much took over every country in the world, often putting unfair policies on them
:D :D or how in modern times there helping a lot of the african countries???
Just saying their historical legacy is actually pretty bad back then, they were opium traders in asia and their monarchy leaders were corrupted pieces of c#@!#
:D But considering what they're doing in modern times yeah I like them and they're british accent...it sounds so cool....

Hey, what's wrong with that?
What comes first to my mind are drunk Britons, particularly the older men dressed in brown suits and cloth caps and with perfect manners but with a certain pugnaciousness.

I think that it is full of stupid and ignorant LIBERALS, who keep on saying that law and order is wrong and that moral values are wrong.
