The Czech Republic and Holland both voted for our habit of cheering on the underdog.

Belgium and Poland, both rather large beer-producing countries, like how us Brits embrace a warm beer.

Cyprus and Portugal, which both bask in beautiful summers, applaud our plucky spirit of sunbathing at the slightest hint of sunshine. Even if it’s only 17 °C, if there’s a blue sky and a ray of warmth, we’re under it in a swimsuit frantically hoping for a tan.
