Visiting the pub is 'typically English'
The most "typically English" pursuit is a trip to a great British pub, according to a poll by Charles Wells.
The Drink of England survey of 5,000 people found 73% think spending time in pubs and taverns is a truly English past time.
Enjoying a traditional Sunday roast came second in the poll of "Englishness". Sharing a roast with all the trimmings was 71% of respondents' favourite time of the week.
However, talking about the weather was the third most popular trait according to 64% of people, who thought that temperature, outlook and forecast were topics to be discussed up to five times a day.
"What better way to support England this summer than not only waving our English flags with pride but also remembering all those typically English traits that make our country what it is," said Chris Lewis for Wells Bombardier Beer.
"No other country has an institution like the great English pub — and what better way to show your support for England this summer than heading down your local, supping a pint of English cask beer and keeping that stiff upper lip — especially watching the football."
A cup of tea and a stiff upper lip came fourth and fifth in the poll of English traits while queueing, gossiping and curtain twitching were also mentioned.
