Seconded. I think it's a sad comment on the human condition that they beat SF.

[parisian]

'F' me backwards with a paralysed ferret - where am I and Clive, and Nick, Barney, Will.
Huh! the politicians are right, never believe polls

I feel the need to get a few new images of Nr 50 in its run pen some time soon.

[Learning]

I would have missed out number nine, Mrs ersatz Windsor, and indeed the whole of number 30.
I would also have missed off the final 'e' of number 50. Isn't the version with an 'e' sort of frogish?

Yes and no, nr 50 with the 'e' is probably the best looking of the 50, and the only one I can lay hands on that isn't unhealthy, the cup of tea excepted..

I could happily live without 8, 27 and 46 thanks.

[Learning]

At least we don't have to pay for Glastonbury Festival unless we want to.

[Paddysnapper]

Thank G*D I'm out of it!

[Baz94]

Concorde????? Something we did with France is hardly a national treasure

I could swap many of the above with the following:

Tower of london
Bedruthen Steps
Molly Sugden
James Herbert
Ford cortina
Wembley
Pie Mash and Likka
Blackpool Tower
The Black swan
Every castle in the UK!

[BigWill]

I would have put fish and chips as the undisputed no.1 meself!

What fkwit chooses Shakespeare over fish & chips? Not even a Daily Wail reader would do that...

A nation that puts vinegar on their chips ... yuk, yuk, yuk.

The vinegar is essential, the best bit

Currywurst *cough cough*

10. Stonehenge

I live within spitting distance and see it every day - I would classify it as a national disgrace!

27. Glastonbury Festival

The fact that The Proms, regarded by many including many non-british people as the greatest music festival in the world, do not even feature is also disgraceful - (Oh, and I exclude the 'Last Night' which I never bother with).

[Rhys]

Nowhere have I seen the Great British Pint!
A pint of real ale brewed in the proper way and kept in proper wood.
Full of nail clippings and dead flies with a head you could lay bricks with (non of the suthern flat lagery pee coloured foreign stuff )
