    Besides what drapg said, what other reason is there?

    They are our best friend/ally in the world.

    I just can't get past those teeth, we should export dentist to England. That would balance our trade deficit! :D

    Their wit sucks, besides Benny Hill!

    Dom Joly rules!

    But then I'm biased being from England...

    However some of the reasons you guys give to like the place are a little wierd.

    American Idol?

    Benny Hill? Absolutely dreadful!

    Spice Girls? Oh dear!

    Benny Hill may actually be worse than the Holocaust. IMO.

    I love England because I had the best Christmas Day of my life there. I don't remember much of it, but it was superb!

    I don't typically agree with drapg, so it's nice to find some common ground.

    Liz is so fine it's painful.
