British Dream

Lurker · 01.29.2009, 12:46 PM

In response to the American dream thread. If there was a British dream what would it be?

Phlegmscope · 01.29.2009, 12:47 PM

Good teeth.

afterthefact · 01.29.2009, 01:17 PM

To come to America.

floatingslowly · 01.29.2009, 01:25 PM

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.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.29.2009, 05:57 PM

a nice orderly queue

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?

phoenix · 01.30.2009, 03:23 AM

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.

MellySingsDoom · 01.30.2009, 05:27 AM

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

If only the MPs would look at this, this country would be a lot better.
