Just for fun I asked gpt-4 what the most British thing is, I then asked it to make a prompt for midjourney. Here is the result. (Don't question the alien hand)
How about this most British of pictures? Angry person, reactolite glasses, a sausage ready for the back garden barbecue and even a sneaky garden fence. If there was a wheelie bin in there it would cover 90% of normal chat :-)
(Edit: and please for the love of all that is holy do not use a top-hat or a monocle. Those are lazy parodies of Britishness used mainly by Americans whose idea of the UK comes from The Crown and Downton Abbey. There's only one person who I can even imagine wearing either item regularly and I would probably get banned for saying what I think of him.)

Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.
This would be my pitch:
::: spoiler Alternate version and transparent PNG
Still an official™️ Lemmings skin tone, but one from a later game I guess, in the interest of inclusivity:
Transparent PNG in case anyone wants to remix it:
::: spoiler Easy, relevant banner idea
Use a screenshot like this one, but decide what they're queueing for. Greggs? Woolies? Half-price biscuits? The possibilities are endless.

Ooh, I love it! I'm inclined to go with the banner already. Any objections?
sideone@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Make it so (please)

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔
Fishbulb@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
This has got to be it, it's perfect
thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org · 15 pts · 3y
Greggs pasty, or a nice cuppa (pending inevitable bickering over exactly what shade of tea)
Edit: Differentiate ourselves from the other place with an icon of a duck

A quick image search for "union jack rubber duck" shows some contenders...
LillianVS@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
I approve of duck. Everyone likes duck
Speckle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I was thinking something Greggs based as well. I was just going to say the logo though 😂
sideone@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
I know this is a safe space, so I'm going to say something controversial. I don't like anything Greggs make (apart from the jammie dodger biscuit)
thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org · 11 pts · 3y
... There's a limit to how safe a space gets you know
sideone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yeah, that's fair. I'll take it on the chin!
rmuk@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
What's your local alternative? There's a chain in the North-West called Greenhalch's that's solid, or Cooplands in the Midlands is good too.

We have Parsons which is OK. Plenty of independent bakeries but all quite expensive (think £2.60 for a plain croissant). I don't tend to bother.

So, just a picture of Mr. Blobby?
Honestly that diseased penis looking fucker haunts my nightmares.

Ugh the hands. Always the hands.

Lemming wearing a top hat and monicle. Drinking a cuppa

Something like this?

What a dapper fella

Is that AI?
HumanPenguin@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 3y
Love it.
Speckle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
This is brilliant! How'd you come up with it so quickly?
itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
AI, innit.
Speckle@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 3y
Bruv I tried AI and got this, not quite the same lol
RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 3y
This was my go, love how we're all getting totally different styles!
Speckle@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
This one is great! I love how gentlemanly he is
RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
He's a dapper chap isn't he
HumanPenguin@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 3y
Looks lime a winner to me.
TeaHands@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Maybe more suited to UKFormal?
itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
I honestly prefer yours. It's adorable!
Speckle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Oh thanks! Well seems like there might be a couple of options then 😊
dimspace@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
I actually love this.. lemming in bowler hat sat in a cup of tea.. very british
TeaHands@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
And yet so charming in its way!
andypiper@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
this is the best :-)
Speckle@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
How about a lemming sipping tea like the Kermit the frog meme?
GreyShuck@beehaw.org · 6 pts · 3y
A deckchair? A pub sign?

A pubsign for a pub called The Deckchair?

The Alonso Deckchair image with the Union Flag as the background. Also give Alonso a Top Hat plus Monacle
LillianVS@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I propose this cute rubber ducky! All hail the duckies!
Mane25@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I now think a duck would be the funniest. Obviously, the ultimate "middle-finger" to the old regime.

Spotted dick and tea.
America gets gun and hamburders.
India gets many phone icons.
Australia gets scary spider on a dingo.
