A black pudding?

Sorry, that should be A Black Pudding!
 
A decent pint of beer. Not that you can get my faves properly any more. Bloody Youngs moving to Bedford.
 
How about an ASBO?
 
A model of a London Routemaster bus purchased from Harrods with the company advertised on the side of the bus and given in a Harrods bag.
I believe you can only buy this in the UK.

If you want a British Keepsake, what about combining the four into one:

Welsh - a Welsh LoveSpoon
Scottish - Miniature bottle of Whisky
English - small tankard
Irish - mini Guinness set or Whiskey bottle?

Or small wooden carved flowers:
Welsh - Daffodil
Scottish - Thistle
English - Rose
Irish - Shamrock
