25 Reasons Why the UK Rocks
All the Best of British Eccentricity:
As the saying goes, mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun. OK, so the British may have a reputation for being slightly eccentric. I mean, we do put shoes on pigs and make pork pie-flavored ice cream. However, we are also cool Britannia with clear pride for Vivienne Westwood and Dr Martens, not to mention the Union Jack and Vivienne Westwood. I hope this cluster shows how great the UK is across the whole spectrum of creativity--albeit perhaps leaned more towards the madder side of life.
