MUSIC


  The United Kingdom has one of the world's largest music industries today,
 with many British musicians having had an impact on modern music. Britain
  has had an impact on popular music disproportionate to its size, due to its
linguistic and cultural links with many countries, particularly the United States
and many of its former colonies like Australia, South Africa, and Canada. The
   British Invasion, led by The Beatles, helped to secure British performers a
              major place in development of pop and rock music.
  The Beatles have been the inspiration for many ‘boy bands’ of the modern
    day including Oasis; Arctic Monkeys, One Direction, Westlife and many
                                     others.
FOOD


British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish
    and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most
common and typical foods eaten in Britain include fish and chips, pies like the
Cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. Some of our main dishes have strange
              names like Bubble & Squeak and Toad-in-the-Hole.
  The staple foods of Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs.
                 Many of our dishes are based on these foods.
 Other meal dishes include; Cottage Pie, Shepard's Pie, Cumberland Sausages,
 Yorkshire Puddings, Ploughman's Lunch and of course a good old fashioned
                                English Breakfast!
Some desserts would include Apple Crumble, Semolina pudding, Spotted Dick
                            and The Victoria Sponge.
INTERESTING FACTS


             1762: The sandwich was invented in England.
We have a town named Sandwich in the south of England. John Montagu, the
 Earl of Sandwich invented a small meal that could be eaten with one hand
                 while he continued his nonstop gambling.
                 Worcestershire Sauce (Worcester Sauce)
     1837 John Lea and William Perrins of Worcester, England started
             manufacturing Worcester Sauce (Worcestershire).
 Worcester sauce was originally an Indian recipe, brought back to Britain by
 Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal. He asked two chemists, John
   Lea and William Perrins, to make up a batch of sauce from his recipe.
DRINK


The main drink of Britain is Tea. Britain is a tea-drinking nation. Every day we
 drink 165 million cups of the stuff and each year around 144 thousand tons
                               of tea are imported.
Britain is also well known for its ale which tends to be dark in appearance and
                    heavier than lager. It is known as "bitter"
CLOTHES
FACTS


 Lots of the ordinary clothes we wear today have a long tradition. The very
 cold winters in the Crimea in the war of 1853-56 gave us the names of the
cardigan and the balaclava. Lord Cardigan led the Light Brigade at the Battle
of the Balaclava (1854) A "cardigan" is now a warm woollen short coat with
                  buttons, and a "balaclava" is a woollen hat.
 Another British soldier, Wellington, gave his name to a pair of boots. The
                    have a shorter name today - " Wellies "
