With the passing of Queen Elizabeth this week, my Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl will pay tribute to all the things I adore about Britain.

1

The Royals - starting with the obvious here. I find it abso-fucking-lutely fabulous that the world allowed a 96-year-old woman to run a country. (And she supposedly did it while drinking no less than four cocktails per day!) I mean, is there any better representation of girl power? And the whole royalty thing is just a wild obsession for most. There are songs, movies and TV shows galore about this life that we can never, ever even dream of living. The mystery alone creates an addiction. #hookedonwindsor

Sports - Brits only play super-cool sports. Just knowing about Tennis, Rugby and Cricket makes you more fancy and worldly. Discussions around these sports creates an air of sophistication. And if you play them, well, you've written your ticket to fit, hot mates who you might even shag.

3

Tea - high tea, low tea, we just wanna know tea, Spill it! The idea of getting all dolled up to drink a hot beverage and a eat a crumpet makes me giddy with excitement. Throw a a little rum or bourbon in there, and this is instantly my jam.

4

Music - we know The Beatles are English, but we can't forget all the others who make us get up to get down. From Adele to Jagger to Spice Girls to Sheeran - even Dua Lipa is British. The tunes they produce strike a chord with my heart.

5

Crisps and biscuits - that's British for chips and cookies, which to me, should be two major food groups. And the way that Brits down these two snacks with such frequency, makes me think their country would agree!

6

Food - if you're a hearty eater, you can hang in England. Start the day with a full English breakfast, grab a sandwich and scone in the afternoon and finish the day with some fish and chips or bangers and mash. I am all over that.

7

Driving - they do it on the opposite side of the road, and they do it really fast! I mean, getting behind the wheel in England is like being in your own video game. And, the crazier you get, the more people love it.

8

Sorry - if you are a pleaser like me, you find yourself asking for forgiveness, even when it's not warranted. So I know somewhere down the line, I have Brit blood in me. British people apologize for EVERYTHING, just because they really are that polite.

9

The accent - I mean, come on. If I see someone mildly attractive, and then they speak with an English accent, I might as well just drop my panties and lay on the bed, because they are in like Flynn. Hell, if I have enough drinks in me, they could probably have those British teeth, and I'd still be spread eagle.

10

Drinking - the whole of Great Britain consists of people who find happiness in a pint. Pubs are a plenty and celebration is celebrated. And it's all done with a glass raised. These are my people. Why do I live in the US again?

I already shared my favorite English bevvy in last week's post. This week, I've linked to a bloody-good assortment of other favorites to share with your mates. This week, don't get pissed, get PISSED!
