1. Free Prescriptions, especially birth control: its all freeeee!!! Hallelujah!
2. Their grass is ALWAYS green. Its lush and beautiful and invigorating.
3. Christmas: their mince pies, mulled wine, and Christmas puddings are just lovely.
4. Vacations and Holidays: everyone gets 4 weeks of holidays STANDARD. That's an entire month!
5. Architecture. Have some pretty sweet buildings that are beautiful. At Durham I can study in the Cathedral.
6. Polite. I've very rarely met with an rude or overly inquisitive British person.
7. Their University accomdation: you get your own room. Not always. But often.
8. Travel. Brits are so well-travelled. Around their own country and beyond. All of my flat have been to Thailand (seperately).
9. Sunday lunches. A large meal in the middle of the day, often post church.
10. Ability to critically think. This is a bit hard to explain, but their humor is more intellectual than not.
11. Countryside walks: one is never far away, and generally astoundingly beautiful.
12. History. Such wonderful history in such a little island. A monarchy and parliament. Knights and Businessmen.
13. Tea.
14. Soccer. The Premiere League. The Champions League.
