In this household a few things British come to mind:
The King Dick Ajustable Spanner (useless tool)
A Three Squires, Nottingham, bicycle circa 1950
A Raleigh bicycle, circa 1955
An Ian-Proctor designed Intl.Tempest sloop
Asst. books of British boatbuilding and sailing
Wedgewood place settings
English Cocker Spaniel
St George stained glass miniature from Wells Cathedral
Box of 1/2 pennies, pence, tuppence, shillings, and notes
Book of bios of tool builders, including Mr Whitworth
and a belief that the events of 1776 were good British citizens
rebelling against a German king.
