A. A typical addition to the British garden is the pond. These are small areas of water that are designed to look like authentic rock pools, with running water, fish and vegetation. Ponds make the garden more beautiful and attractive, and turn it into a place for fun and entertainment. They are very popular with cats, which eat all the fish. Children also like ponds. Sometimes, they enjoy throwing cats in the water. B. Most of the time is devoted to hard gardening work. This may involve mowing the lawns, cutting roses, moving pots from one part of the garden to another, watering things with the garden hose and so on. The garden is also a place for relaxation and entertainment. The British like to organise barbecue parties in their gardens, and have their meals on garden furniture whenever possible. On particularly hot days they may even bring out the paddling pool, which is a plastic pool filled with water where the British can cool off their aching feet. C. The British love their gardens. British men and women spend hours and hours every week trying to make their gardens look as perfect as possible, competing with one another to produce the fattest, greenest lawns in the neighbourhood. Deep down, they despise anyone who has a better garden; and they look down on anyone who doesn’t bother to look after their gardens at all. Working in the garden provides the British with hours of fun, work and activity. D. One of the main benefits is that being in the garden means dealing with plants, and not people. After all, plants won’t criticise you, be rude to you or laugh at the way you dance. Gardening is also a way of exercising power and control. It’s all about being the master and watching as your creations begin to grow. It’s also connected with the cycle of life, and about being in touch with nature. Having a garden is also a territorial thing. It’s a British person’s own private property and they are proud of this. E. One particularly popular item of decoration for the garden is the garden gnome. Gnomes are strange creatures made of plastic or porcelain and with pointed hats on their heads. For many people, the gnome is the perfect adornment for a garden. But most probably it is much more than just decoration, as the British like to think of their garden as a fantasy world, peopled by funny-looking men in pointed hats where they are the gentle, loving giants. F. Gardening is an essential part of being British. As ex-prime minister Mrs Thatcher once said, “Whether it is our character which makes us gardeners, or gardening that shapes our characters, I’m unsure.” And as the French commentator once said, “You may know a Frenchman by his baguette; the German by his Frankfurter; the Belgian by his chocolates; and the Englishman by his garden.” G. One of the most unusual objects to be found in a garden is the shed. This is a sacred place, particularly for British men. Sheds are little wooden or plastic constructions filled with gardening tools and many other useful things. It is a place where British men are truly at home. It’s a refuge from reality of the outside world, and a place where hobbies can be pursued in peace. Psychologists have been studying men and their sheds for centuries, but they still remain a mystery to modern science. If you look inside a British man’s shed, it can tell you all about his personality, his passions and his obsessions.

Why I Like England I like living in England because everywhere else is foreign and strange. The only language I speak is English. But I wouldn’t like anyone to think that I don’t like Abroad. I do. Abroad means adventure and the possibility of danger and delicious food, but Abroad is also tiring and confusing and full of foreigners who tell you that the bank is open when it’s not. Being a town dweller I passionately love the English countryside. Though I must admit it looks better on the telly than it does in real life. I only fully appreciated the varied nature of the English countryside after driving for two days through a Swedish pine forest. I like English weather; like the countryside, it’s constantly drawing attention to itself. I started this article in a room filled with piercing sunlight, but now a strong wind has materialized and the room is full of gloom. I like the reserve of English people, because I don’t particularly want to talk to strangers in trains either, unless of course there is a crisis such as a “cow on the line” causing an hour’s delay. In which case my fellow passengers and I will happily spill our life stories to anybody we can get to listen. I like the way in which the English cope with disasters: cut our water off and we will cheerfully queue at a stand pipe in the snow. Throw us into rat infested foreign jails and we will get out saying that our brutal-looking jailers were “decent chaps who treated us well.” I bet somewhere, pinned on a dirty prison wall, is a Christmas card: “To my friend and captor, Pedro, from Jim Wilkinson of cell 14.” The England I love best is, of course, the England of childhood, when children could play in the street without the neighbours getting a petition. I’m happy to live in a country that produces important things: wonderful plays, books, literature, heart surgeons, gardeners and Private Eye. I was asked to write about why I like England in 700 words. Now if I’d been asked to write about why I don’t like England I’d have needed 1000, and I suspect, it would have been easier to write. It’s our birthright and privilege to criticize our own country and shout for revolution. I asked a friend of mine where, given the choice and enough money, he would choose to live. He replied gloomily, “There isn’t anywhere else.” (after Susan Townsend)
