British people enjoy going to restaurants and fast food, though fish and chips remain very popular.

Films and television are beloved pastimes, with over half of young people seeing movies monthly and men watching 3 hours of TV daily. Brits take 56 million holidays annually, mostly abroad with Spain the top destination followed by France and the United States due to Britain's unreliable weather.
