Quintessentially British

How do you know if it's gonna snow?

Visit the BBC weather page!

They may be right or they may be wrong

Please don't get into a fiery rage.

Promised sun, but we get rain!

Wind? Oh no a hurricane!

Hail, fog and mist, snow, icy roads too.

Winter, spring, seems like May

4 seasons in one day!

We love the British weather

What do we do when someone jumps the queue

In the Tesco Extra basket lane?

Do we keep quiet or do we start a riot

In the Tesco Extra basket lane?

On a bus or on a train,

Ferry, coach or aeroplane!

Supermarkets too, cos that's what we do

We stand in a line, feeling smug and fine

 Cos it's in our British chromosomes

What do we eat when we want a treat?

An ice cream in a 'cardboard' cone.

We like high tea because it's so fancy

Cream and jam on a fruit scone.

Fish and chips by raging sea

Vindaloo or kedgeree

Horseradish sauce, with beef of course

Wimbledon, such a dream

Strawberries and cream

Delightful British cooking

What do we watch on the old TV box

On a Saturday afternoon?

We like our sports, all kinds and sorts

On a Saturday afternoon.

Rugby, football, golf and darts,

Wrestling and martial arts

We like our pool and play by the rules,

But if someone takes our wicket,

It just ain't cricket (Yes it is!)

Our Great British sporting times

Scots and Irish, they are Gaels,

Welsh, of course they're from Wales.

English from England, Manx - Isle of Man

Many cities, many towns
The Queen wears the crown
We're quintessentially British
