Thread Name: Icons of Englishness?
Subject: RE: Icons of Englishness?
Someone got the weather right, but nobody has mentioned the good old English Brolly (Statesiders, that's umbrella).

Black jackets with pinstripe trousers.

A talent for understatement, and a certain disdain for blowing ones own trumpet. (e.g. "It's nothing really, only a flesh wound, and they can actually re-attach legs these days".)
