Despite not being featured in the challenging brainteaser, the research also found bacon cooked ‘right’, being able to put anything in a sandwich and a firm handshake to be among the greatest things about the UK.
The insight was commissioned by British Seniors Insurance, which also revealed nine in 10 enjoy being British, with three in four describing themselves as patriotic.
Oliver Harcourt, a spokesman for British Seniors Insurance said: “Our research shows that as a nation we continue to be overwhelmingly proud of being British, and of the great things that make us Brits.
“From food such as fish & chips and roast dinners, to historic landmarks or unpredictable weather, Britons love what makes them British.”
The study also found more than two-thirds reckon Brits are better at queueing than any other nation.
And also, in typical British fashion, nearly a third of respondents said if faced with snaking ropes and no queue, they would walk the whole way without skipping over of the ropes.
A video has also captured the nation's reactions to where our fond favourites placed on the top 40 list.
Passers-by were tested on where they thought things placed on the list with the Royal family, roast dinners and talking about the weather among some of the topics discussed.
It also emerged more than half reckon other nationalities think we’re a country obsessed with the weather, with two-fifths saying other nations think we drink tea like tap water.
And two in five admitted they ring true to stereotypes and have a stiff upper lip.
The research, conducted via OnePoll, found 52 per cent of respondents will enjoy a typically British roast dinner nearly every Sunday.
And six in 10 will pack their favourite brand of teabag during a trip to ensure they get their daily dosage of breakfast tea – three a day to be precise.
Oliver Harcourt added: “The research also highlights that above all, family is the most important thing to Brits and that we take pride in looking after our loved ones.
“British Seniors Insurance is proud to help Britons throughout the country protect their families with our Guaranteed Over 50s Life Insurance.”
