Let me educate you.
British food got a bad reputation in the post war period, quite deservedly. Rationing was to blame for a lot of the decline along with the era of true mass production which followed. This was exacerbated by the influx of ideas and recipes from other countries which were poorly understood and often used in inappropriate ways. The result was a period of very poor cuisine which didn't really end until the late 80's.
After that British food improved considerably and these days it's fairly good. Unfortunately it tends to be a bit of a mish mash of different international cuisines.
This is a shame because proper traditional British food is actually very good, classic traditional dishes for example:
Steak and Kidney Pudding
Stargazey Pie
Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding
Oxtail Stew
Shepherds Pie
and so on, are (when properly made) absolutely delicious. But food like that is now difficult to find, not that international dishes aren't nice but it's still a shame.
A yob is a loud and aggressive man who behaves antisocially, generally with connotations of youth and low social status.
Your post reminded me of how delicious roast beef and Yorkshires are. My Mom will make one once or twice a year and it is my favorite meal probably (with gravy all over everything). Also I am a huge fan of corned beef and cabbage but no one else in my family digs it much so I can't get it but once a year on St. Pat's. When I was away at school I bought about ten of them before St Pat's (they are incredibly cheap then) and froze them and had one a month for the year.
I also really appreciate your taking a moment to explain the basis for the "English food sucks" myth, I find that sort of thing very interesting.
