| 12 things...
Not all 'things, but what is good about BRITAIN, not just the bit South of the border. Sorry the Scots half kicked in momentarily...
1] Unarmed police. Scared yesterdays lunch out of me when I saw armed officers walking around London.
2] Patriotism. In the 'Will defend my country and it's values', not the BNP and racist way.
3] Freedom [ish] of speech. This appears to be going down hill rapidly. But at least this forum is still free.
4] Single Malt Whisky. Oh yes.
5] Cider. For getting Americans drunk. After all it is only made from apples, isn't it?
6] Scapa Flow.
7] Sheer bloody mindedness. From that chap who spent years sitting outside Parliament protesting to feats of endurance and thinking that we can still win the world cup [can of worms anyone?], we do try harder, even if we come second.
8] Inventiveness. We have invented some good stuff in the past, and there will no doubt be more to come.
9] Welcoming in foreign citizens. On the wane a bit now [see 2], but we used to and hopefully will be able to again.
10] Sense of humour. You bloody well need it.
11] The weather. After all what else would we talk about?
12] British Divers. The bravest, barmiest and best in the world!  |
