    Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.

    This would be my pitch:

    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:

    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.

    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)

    Angry woman looking at sausage

    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.)

    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…

      I was thinking something Greggs based as well. I was just going to say the logo though 😂

        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)

    I now think a duck would be the funniest. Obviously, the ultimate “middle-finger” to the old regime.

      So, just a picture of Mr. Blobby?

      Honestly that diseased penis looking fucker haunts my nightmares.
