[Misc] So... A Thread Of Things That Make You Proud To Be English

[DavidinSouthampton]

BBC = definitely
Real ale = yes
Tolerance = Hmmm... 6/10 could do better
Lower league football grounds = surely most countries have them?

I would however add 50 years of great bands.

Only 50? what's wrong with the 60s??

 

[Lower West Stander]

Our wonderful press.

Our wonderful sense of irony.....

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Our ability to apologise when it's clearly not our fault, sorry.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Scaffolders.

 

[Baker lite]

But could they compete with the Gronks board?

Always found the lads took offence if I stood in the mess square knocking one out, it was best to head up fwd with a copy of razzle.

Sorry, but I disagree.

 

[tiberious]

Sorry, but I disagree.

Could you just agree not to agree with Tim Overwhelmed I mean we do not want to cause a scene...

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Sorry, but I disagree.

Oh, sorry, mate, of course you're right to disagree, apologies for not apologising earlier.

Apologies if I've caused a scene by saying nothing, sorry!

 

[Eeyore]

Oh, sorry, mate, of course you're right to disagree, apologies for not apologising earlier.

And I'm sorry to trouble you about this.

Nowt ....... No I take that back the NHS

 

[dangull]

The Royal Navy which was the reason this little island had the largest Empire in the worlds history.

 

[Gafones]

Our delusion that we are not ordinary.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Absolutely nothing at all. Sadly you've misread my meaning. The defacement of churchills statue is ridiculous. It may well be that he had some racist attitudes. However, that statue is not so much about him but more a symbol of the nation's resolve and fighting spirit that saw us through the war. A point lost on the idiots with spray cans

Glad I didn’t jump in all guns blazing now then

I wouldn’t say English, but two things which Britain should be proud of is music and the BBC. It never ceases to amaze me the quality, breadth and utter endlessness of the music Britain produces. There may be peaks and troughs but there’s always something going on.

And the BBC is such a brilliant advert for the country. On my travels abroad many people have spoken to me about it’s quality, it’s content (from music to docs to comedy) and bemoaned they don’t have something similar. Lose it at your peril.

Totally agree, well said.

People sometimes go on about the value of the Queen to the UK economy, which I presume has been quantified some how by someone. They should do a similar thing regarding the BBC; I reckon it is well worth it’s cost.

And British curries are the best. And the Balti pie is the ultimate post-modern culinary response to multiculturalism; it really is.
