As an englisher, in one way it is cool (I guess) that you want to celebrate my culture in this way, but frankly if you want to introduce some proper englishness into your life, try the following process:
1) get munted at home;
2) go out to a pub and continue the muntination process with all possible speed;
3) fall over a lot;
4) talk to some girls (and/or boys) you don't know and try to see the inside of their undergarments;
5) have a kebab;
6) attempt to get home.
If performed properly this will give you and all your friends a keen insight into all things english in a way that the consumption of crumpets never will.
So a club focused primarily on idolizing a specific nation and choosing media based more on country of origin than specific content? I've got a perfect name!

Do you people have clubs over there that celebrate American culture?
Mmm cuppa tea and a scone sounds good! Crumpets can be so messy, well, if you put the amount of butter on them that I do!
Also, I second that you should watch Blackadder. I can't think of anything else at the moment though! I think the last British thing I watched was An Idiot Abroad. Hey, you should watch that if you want an idea of the typical Brit abroad. Only, they usually consume more alcohol! Oh, and watch all the shows like Mock the Week and QI, too!

@markini6: 100% agreement on crumpets just not being good. So much better varieties of scones are out there to enjoy instead.
There's plenty of fascinating named towns in the UK so I'm sure that you can come up with something even if it sounds vaguely out of Harry Potter books like the Somerset Slayers, Dover Drinkers, ect. If nothing else there's always Manchester United for a name (I cheer for Scottish teams but Manchester United is a good combination of words).
Ugh, crumpets, really? They are not posh :) And a pain because you'd need to toast them, lest ye be heathens. From someone who's English (me) - scones are the way to go, classier and nicer, with jam of course.
Are you trying to tell me there are people who don't toast crumpets? Really? How is that even an option? That's not being a heathen, that's just being stupid.
Seriously, this concept has never even occured to me before.
Here are few suggestions: The Wankers/Tossers, Bum Lickers, Lads not getting fanny. Probably practiced English accents from hearing Madonna interviews.
There are better ways to appreciate another countries culture than watching DVDs and talking in accents. Observe and practice traditions or customs. Cook a dish and share among your group. Try to come an understanding of what the culture is about and don't look at it in a superficial level. It can't hurt to learn something new you didn't know before.

So I am starting a club with some people at my school which will revolve around us generally watching British entertainment (doctor who, skins, misfits, etc.), drinking tea/eating crumpets, and overall being classy while talking in a British accent. So what are some good and/or funny names you can come up with?
