Great idea for a thread Bruce!

I am not a particularly patriotic person, but overall, I'm happy with Britian. I think some of the things we have done have been terrible, such as the slave trade, and taking over most of the world, and to a lesser extent Iraq. Although some things I'm proud about, such as WW1 and WW2 we along with a load of other countries stopped the world becoming a worse place.

One thing which I think is great, is the freedom for speach, in some places you can't say what ever you want, but I think it's very important that we can say what ever we like, and not to be oppressed by the government. This is linked to democracy which is another very important thing.

Points that I don't like about my country is the 'football hooligan' image, and chavs. I wish that would all go away.

I'm sure there's loads more I could say, but in my current tired state, I can't think of anything else!
