-The Angel of the North

That’s a statue in the North of England. It's ok.


-The FA cup

The annual English soccer cup competition (as distinct from the League competitions).


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

Yes, the song.


-White Van

It’s a white van :o) Sort of like a truck. “White van man” is a commonly used description of working men driving about in their vans.


-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.

There is a car called that but that but the spitfire here will be the WW2 fighter.


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

Fair additions, although cat owners now outnumber dog owners I believe.
