What is the united kindom famous or known for other than its famous places?

With apologies to the late Mr Dury

We'v got....

18-wheeler Scammels,
Restaurants run by Tamils
Some fluffy little mammals
and equal votes

We’ve got Piccallili
Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly,
and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it,
a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it
And yellow socks

too short to be all haughty,
too nutty to be naughty
After a little drop of claret –
We like anything that rocks

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
round or skinny bottoms
and IPA

Cheddar cheese and pickle,
a bit of Slap and tickle
Being in my nuddy
And cockle boats

Saying hokey-dokey,
A singalong in Smokey
Coming out of chokey
and blokes called Bert

cool accents

Palace guards and good fish & chips!

beautiful people

But the most important thing - respect for other people - we do not expect the rest of the world to conform to our silly little foibles.

We have Oil and Gas in the North Sea thank you very much, but needed US expertise to help us get it out back in the 1960's and 70's when we started drilling..but we used it to make something you don't have..Decent sports cars that handle well around corners.

Good Fish and Chips
Carry On films
Eastenders and Ricky Gervais
Benny Hill
Saville Row tailoring
World class Football league, (Soccer)

and topically
Regulated Investment Funds

resources? probably not much though we do have oil in the North Sea.Our money is generally worth more than yours though it's taking a bashing in this recession.
I would imagine a lot of your poorer citizens might like our health care system.
Many major inventions that you take for granted in your daily life were originally discovered/developed here. Also the majority of the world's greatest literature and theatre.
