LONDON - Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the Beatles are three of the things people identify as Britain's greatest features, a survey released on Monday has revealed.

Queuing in the rain, outdoor barbecues and the weather also made the list.

The research also revealed that Britain prides itself on an eclectic mix of habits. Nearly half (47 percent) felt that talking about the weather was a real indication of being British, followed by an affection for queuing (33 percent), the country's sense of humor (29 percent) and barbecuing in the rain (13 percent).
