Queuing
Not being able to zipper in to lane closures

A dozen of those are foods and let's be honest, most would hardly set the culinary world alight elsewhere.

And Brits are more proud of James Bond, Mr Bean, Harry Potter and Paddington than Shakespeare which says it all really.

I bet Shakespear himself would rather watch a Bond film than sit through a tedious play written in obsolete prose.

Too numerous to mention, but a few

And show old England's glory something new
