• I think that flag at the start is upside down.
• Though the 'phone box is found all over the country (though now rare), the black cab is mainly London only.
• Why do you show a lager being poured when you mention tea? (And by no means all Brits are tea-obsessed. Many prefer coffee [often instant]; I don't currently have any tea in my house, for example.)
• The isle of Man - granted, part of the UK for practical purposes - claims an even longer-functioning parliament (back to 9xx, IIRR).
• Unlike the others mentioned, Monty Python is not a person, but a _group_ of comedians.
• Even in the parts where it does rain a lot (the UK's climate varies a lot), it isn't continuous - can be weeks without significant rain, especially around July.

It is the British language. The Magna Carter, the Declaration of Arbroath and the Bible were all written in Latin, thereafter the language was added to by many invaders. The Vikings added to the grammar, as it is the same as Scandinavian languages. The English like to take possession of all they can as the Bank of Britain is called the Bank of England, the English even call bacon and eggs an English breakfast, we speak British and have to be tolerant of the English need to possess.
