Oh how the UK has fallen.
The literary culture is still very strong in the UK. But what happened to its science and technology landscape? Merely a century ago, it was at the forefront of science and technology. Where did the UK lose its steam? Anyone with historical insights into the UK care to shed more light on this?
Climate Change.
One question, from where are you, I have head a lot about UK but never about "great food"? :D
Though, if you did your research, you could find really good, authentic, British cuisine (eg: St. John's).
OTOH, how much of a colonial, shared history do you have to have to accept Indian cuisine as "traditional" in the UK?
The Internet changed everything. Someone starts a food trend in Austin, and two weeks later it's on the menus in L.A.
Although one may argue they are no longer "British" given all of them are no longer owned by British.
