CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF THE GREAT BRITAIN

1953Inspired by their best player, Stanley Matthews, Blackpool turned a 1-3 deficit into a winning 4-3 thanks to the silky skills of their England winger.
1973
Leeds United 0 Sunderland 1
One of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history, second division Sunderland overcame the mighty Leeds thanks to the heroics of their inspired goalkeeper, Jim Montgomery.


Wimbledon Fortnight
From the last week in June to the first week in July there is only one topic of conversation, “Who is going to win Wimbledon?” With comprehensive TV coverage, the nation is glued to their sets to see who is going to triumph in the various competitions. British success has been limited overall, with the exception of Andy Murray, but that doesn't stop the public from taking overseas sports stars to their hearts during the intense fortnight of tennis.


The Lord's Ashes Test
England play a variety of teams at cricket from all over the world. But nothing is as important as an Ashes test at Lords against the old enemy, Australia. The two sides play a series of five tests for a small urn containing “The Ashes”. The name comes from one of the earliest encounters between the two nations when England played so badly that a newspaper reported the death of English cricket and the symbolic burning of the wickets used in the match producing, “The Ashes”.
All matches are usually sold out and there is a fierce, competitive spirit that characterises the games.
The Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race
Dating back to 1829, the two university boat teams race each other every year on the four mile course from Putney to Mortlake in London. At the time of writing, the score is, 83 – 80, in Cambridge's favour.


Memorable FA Cup Final
The Weather
Being an island nation, the UK is affected by a lot of meteorological influences. Hence the changeable weather that is the source of much discussion between residents. It is seen as bad form to complain too much about a wet, miserable day, for example. It is better to say something like, “Might clear up later”. Or, “Great weather for the farmers”. Better still, make a small joke, “Great weather for the ducks”.
For a population who are reserved by nature, it is surprising to note that when the topic of weather is brought up with a stranger, it invariably evokes a response.
