Adding the term, "you quite understand" after everything, is one old British expression.
Another might be saying Bloody. Bloody this, bloody that. Meaning, very.

What could be more British than fish and chips?
Well, other than possibly, kippers for breakfast. And brown sauce (used on eggs, favored by Keith Richards).

Although the British did not invent gin (this honor probably goes to the Dutch), gin and especially the gin and tonic drink (made popular to accommodate the warmer Indian climate that British officers endured while stationed there) have become as British as may be.

Elton John, arguable one of the most popular artists of all time, has produced music whose lyrics are possibly better known than even some verses from the Bible.
