Being British
The Daily Telegraph has been asking its readers what it means to be British. As you would expect from Telegraph readers (average age 106) there is a lot of rubbish about stiff upper lips, Europe and respect for institutions, but the most striking feature of the article is the number of repondents who no longer live in Britain. Maybe that's what it means to be British now - making enough cash so that you can bugger off elsewhere?

Heading off to the colonies was always something that we Brits were good at! Perhaps we have been so diluted by Americanism that we only recognise ourselves when we step away from home?!
Funny that our biggest recent surge of national pride came when we had some digs from the French. Perhaps stepping closer to Europe will help us remember who we really are?!
After next summer's World Cup of course
