Re: Why do you love the United Kingdom?
I love the UK for their fine selection of world-class cuisine.
Also, from what I've read, they all hate Heather Mills as much as I do.

Our love to the UK goes really far, each time we visit this island, we take with us a piece of it and through it away when reaching the European mainland.
There will come a day, and this island will be gone ;-))
