14 British Memes: Pretty Dank, Innit?

The United Kingdom is made of four nations situated on islands north of Europe. Those four nations, in addition to creating and/or conquering several other nations around the world, have made a great many memes. You might already know about the British passion for tea, football, royalty and sprawling overseas empire, and maybe you wish to learn more.
