British Dream
In response to the American dream thread. If there was a British dream what would it be?
|
Good teeth.
|
To come to America.
|
to roll the clocks back to when the sun never set.
my Giant American Penis is currently blocking out all of the light. |
Mint flavored meat.
( or is it just a cliché? ) |

Something simple like a good shoe. Mmm. Imagine that! A good shoe. Mmm.
|
Decent customer service. Imaginative original programming on television. A general public who aren't ugly, poorly dressed, arrogant, and racist. Sunshine. These are what dreams are made of.
|
A nice cup of tea and a scone.
|
a nice orderly queue
|
semidetachedhouses.

Coronation Street.
An end to Vernon Kay's reign of prime-time terror. Football played only on a Saturday, at 3.00 A well baked crusty bloomer. an end to poncified flavoured teas and exotic sausages. A decent Hammer film at 2.am on a Saturday night. A decent war film on a Sunday afternoon. A good shoe (as Glice has already mentioned). A sunny, but non-humid, summer. Ronnie Corbett becomes primeminister. Chip shops run by Italians. (Say what you like in favour of the Chinese but the fuckers really are clueless when it comes to deep frying a skate.) A well sourced pea. Every woman looks like Valerie Leon circa 1970. Every man looks like Kenneth More circa 1956. |
From a foreigner observing British people in their own capital city:
-Transport that works better at more reasonable prices -Less overcrowded capital city -Streets that can house the crazy amount of cars at peak time -The window-side seat on the top deck of a bus -Good food, as in food that tastes of something, whatever it is -Drinks after work -A kebab after the drinks -Sex after the kebab -Chucking in a sickie after the previous night out -More daylight, not meaning warm weather necessarily -Less people walking directionless on a busy street -Less people talking on mobile phones loudly first thing in the morning -Less juvenile delinquency -Reading a book in the park, wishing nobody is going to ask you for the time just to start a conversation -Friendlier service, rather than fake politeness when you go to a restaurant/shop -Foreigners who take an interest in the place they currently live in, rather than complaining constantly that ''everything is better at home'' (this applies to any country's dream I imagine) - More affordable accomodation for key workers - Sexy children |
A good cup o' tea?
|
tea and bickies followed by some BDSM?
beer and chips and haddock? no wait, MDMA, cocaine, and D&B? I guess it depends on what kind of brit, doesnt it. |
A nice pint in a proper old-fashioned English boozer.
Cod and chips on the beach Listening to prime Skullflower on a sunny Saturday morning. Going for a long walk in your local park. Coming out of a club at half past sparrowfart and chatting w/friends etc in the nearest local park. Going to a petrol station at 1am to buy a Gingsters pasty. Radio 4 |
