Don't you think that it symbolizes American freedom, though?

As they say in the article, tea is from India but in many people's view it's come to symbolize Englishness

You are definately correct about the mini skirt. Now I want to see Austin Powers again, just the opening segment, gosh that was so great!

Since you are English, can you explain what these items on the lists are:

The Angel of the North

The FA cup

"Jerusalem" (do they mean the song/poem?)

White Van

A spitfire's a car, no? The signifigance of some othe the other items is lost on me, but I think I know what types of things they are. Thanks in advance if you can explain. And here I thought I was such a big angophile all these years, and the above items have me stumped.

And how about Sherlock Holmes and Big Ben and....dogs?
