Culturally Distinct Iron Age Tribe Of...

Over here there's a saying - you do hear it so often that it's almost a coined phrase - about the Britons:
(xxx) - nobody's better at that than the English!
...and I'm wondering if you can guess what it is.This is not a trick question, by the way. It's something that many Swedes genuinely acknowledge your superiority at. So what do think it is, or what do you feel it ought to be?
I'm not on the internet every day, but I promise to return here with the correct answer in a not too distant future.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'd have said binge drinking, but I'm told the Swedes themselves are not bad at that. They used to be brilliant inventors, but that no longer seems to be the case. Their footballing is no longer quite up to the mark. They are known to Australians for their whingeing....
No, I give up! I look forward to hearing the answer.
Reading your replies, I suddenly realize how much we talk about you... we do say a lot of that. Certainly we believe that you use the phrase "I'll put the kettle on" as a panacea, and yes the dry sense of humour... yes, you are right, the bunch of you. But deargod what flagellants you all are (in the second sense, of course, I wouldn't presume to know anything about the first one)... (- well at least those of you that are British. The rest of you may just be dauntless...) - the thing I'm referring to is a good thing! Something we admire you for, dammit. So do try again. I'll be back. Promise.
