When I get to know people from overseas and hear what attracted them to leave their country of birth and start a new life in the UK. Harsh. You forgot little Richard and the fact that the whole mersey beat movement was just a restatement of buddy Holly.

So, no matter what your view of recent events and with what seems like constant negativity around Britain I thought id have a bit of light hearted fun... What actually makes you proud to be English/British?? For me David Jason, Cheese and pickle sandwiches and the Red Arrows!!... Go!!

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

How people are there for each other but aren't overly gushing about everything. A quiet appreciation. Music too, though I stopped listening to anything new about 20 years ago.

speaking a language with an absence of any meaningful subjunctive, formal tense, or cases. And a relatively low dependence on inflection.

The fact that swear words, spoken with a proper British accent, sound far superior to anything that any other nation can utter.

Very interesting topic. For me like many others have said, the dry and self deprecating comedy can't be beaten. Impact in music. Rooting for the underdog. Football. Orwell. And as someone else on here put very well, something along the lines of being there for each other without making a big fuss of it. I guess for some of these it's more just what I like about England/Britain as being proud of it would suggest some sort of personal involvement (semantically speaking). As yet I'm still awaiting my first Cap and have not yet released a seminal album
