I had a conference a few months ago where everyone had to bring what they thought was British. There was all sorts there - page 3, marmite, pictures of artists, tea bag, football stuff, take away leaflets, postcards...

People from other countries thinking it's what you call the UK.. :wink:

Or maybe like little England flags. You could look around town for local-type shops. In Aberdeen the local paper have a shop with local things, like coasters with slang words on it, and things.

Could you get a print of the area you live in, or a postcard?

Edit: Wow.. I said 'things' a lot in this post. :s-smilie:
