Our Armed Forces, our History, our Heritage, our Monarchy, We will endeavor to succeed,
we will fight them on the beaches whether there Romans, Normans, Germans, Muslims or Terrorist,
we have stood alone before and in our Christian Gods hands we will do so again,
Rule Britannia this band of brothers.

Not alot.
We push matters that we feel uncomfortable about under the rug. We demonise alcohol which makes more people turn to it as a kind of stamp against authority, that applies to younger people quite lot and I can think of lots of examples like that in my local community. Also as a nation we are far too prejudice against other religions which is rather sickening. Our attitude towards our european neighbours is appalling and makes me ashamed to be part of the UK. We go abroad and have the arrogance and the cheek to speak english in a foreign country. Our culture is pitiful compared to that of places like France or Spain.
As a nation we need to get our act together.

I think the British sense of humour is great .... it has to be because its the only thing I can think of. Nah but its interesting to see how other countries receive and accept our comedians.. such as ricky gervais or Matt Lucas / David Walliams as some of the funniest comedy produced. Talented ppl make me proud
